NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 2016 September 4
Back in 1979, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft flew past Jupiter and its moons. The images in this mosaic, featuring the moon Io against a background of gas giant Jupiter’s diffuse swirling cloud bands, were recorded by Voyager’s camera from a distance of about 8.3 million kilometers. The Io image from this mosaic may be the first to show curious round features on Io’s surface with dark centers and bright rims more than 60 kilometers across. Now known to be volcanic in origin, these features were then thought likely to be impact craters, commonly seen on rocky bodies throughout the Solar System. But as Voyager continued to approach Io, close-up pictures revealed a bizarre world devoid of impact craters, frequently resurfaced by volcanic activity. Earlier this year a new robotic spacecraft, NASA’s Juno, began to orbit Jupiter and last week made a pass within 5,000 kilometers of Jupiter’s clouds. During the next two years, it is hoped that Juno will discover new things about Jupiter, for example what’s in Jupiter’s core.
{Foods of the Sunnah}
There is a surah in the Quran, At-Tin, named after this sweet fruit.
Abu Dharr said, “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was given a basket full of figs as a present. He said to us, "Eat!”. He ate of it and said: “If I could say that a fruit was sent down from Heaven, it would be this, as the fruit in Heaven has no stones. Eat it, as it cures hemorrhoids and it is useful for treating gout (arthritis).” [x]
Figs contain substances which promote lactation for mothers who want to breast feed their babies. They also aid in the reduction of risk for breast cancer for some women. Figs are very useful in treating hemorrhoids, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) mentioned, gout/arthritis, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) mentioned, inflammation, and menstrual disturbances. Figs essentially are one of the most useful foods found in nature having over 50 uses medicinally. (x)

A couple of weeks ago we introduced the world to our new Yahoo Finance page. As we told you then, our goal is to provide the same quality content our users have come to expect, with cleaner, more modern designs and a focus on increased personalization and community engagement.
At launch, we asked our users to share their thoughts and feedback, so we can continue to iterate and improve our product. We heard from many of you, and one thing is certain: Yahoo Finance inspires deep passion and loyalty. We appreciate how vocal the community has been since the redesign - both with pats on the back, some great suggestions, and some frustrations - and we’ve been listening to all of it. We’ve contacted many of you directly to let you know we’re addressing these concerns, and we’ve made real progress based on your feedback.
To date we have closed a number of major issues, and dozens of smaller ones. Here is a quick list of what’s been done so far:
We’ve addressed many data availability and quality issues.
We added back options data for the S&P VIX ticker.
We added analyst 1 year price targets to the right side of the Key Stats module.
We’re now live updating all standard quote details on the Quote Summary Page.
We are once again showing “Get Quotes for Top 10 Holdings” link for ETF and MutualFund quotes.
We’ve restored our databases and should now have the same level of historical data that we used to have. We also made it easier to manipulate date ranges for historical data.
All recent SEC filings are available for tickers again.
We’ve added “Yield” back to tables for bonds.
We have made adjustments to the way the site is laid out and how you interact with it.
You can now copy data out of our Historical Data pages and paste it correctly into a spreadsheet.
We increased the density of the data table on the Statistics tab.
When you navigate from one Quote Summary Page to another, we now keep you on the same tab. For example, if you were looking at Yahoo’s financials and navigated to the Alibaba Quote page, the new page would open on the Financials tab.
We’ve made many headers clickable for direct access to deeper information.
Clicking on an option strike price now shows all options available at that price.
We restored the link to the Currency Converter tool.
We fixed bugs that you pointed out.
The Recently Viewed list no longer gets wiped out.
You can now select MAX time frame on historical data.
Adding a symbol to multi-quote now no longer wipes out the whole list.
Our products are constantly evolving, and we’ll continue to answer your questions and address your concerns. There is still more to do, including some exciting new features that will be rolling out in the coming months. You’ll be hearing from us regularly as it happens.
In the meantime, keep your suggestions and feedback coming.
The thing about programming is that your work is never done, because you’ll never be satisfied with the code you wrote last year.

Human Spatial Memory is Made Up of Numerous Individual Maps
Spatial memory is something we use and need in our everyday lives. Time for morning coffee? We head straight to the kitchen and know where to find the coffee machine and cups. To do this, we require a mental image of our home and its contents. If we didn’t have this information stored in our memory, we would have to search through the entire house every time we needed something. Exactly how this mental processing works is not clear. Do we use one big mental map of all of the objects we have in our home? Or do we have a bunch of small maps instead – perhaps one for each room? Tobias Meilinger and Marianne Strickrodt, cognitive scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, investigated these questions in a research study.
The research is in Cognition. (full access paywall)
