The Russian Navy located the remains of a Soviet submarine sunk during World War II in the Gulf of Peter the Great with access to the sea of Japan, according to the press department of the Pacific Fleet.


"After a long search for the Pacific Fleet and with the active support of the organizations of Russian veteran divers in the Gulf of Peter the Great, a submarine of the 'Maliutka' class was found sunk during the Great Patriotic War," the source reported on Telegram.


According to the Pacific Fleet, "presumably it is the submarine 'M-49', with which communication was lost on August 16, 1941."


In the submarine 'M-49' the entire crew, composed of 22 people, died," he added.


The Russian Navy noted that "the search for the sunken submarines 'M-49' and 'M-63' of the Pacific Fleet began approximately 20 years ago."


"The crew of the rescue ship 'Igor Belousov' of the Pacific Fleet recently managed to detect the place of the sinking and establish the type of submarine," the note adds.


After investigating the sunken vessel with the help of modern rescue equipment, "it was established that the submarine was of the Maliutka type," known because its dimensions allowed transport by rail.


The Maliutka submarines, with a displacement of 258 tons, were armed with two torpedoes and a 45-millimeter artillery piece.


The two submarines sought by the Pacific Fleet disappeared in August 1941, the agency added.


The fate of the "M-63", which disappeared at the end of August 1941, is unknown.

Cool New Solar Technology Could Change Everything!

Image
 Recently, something really exciting happened in the world of solar energy! Scientists at MIT (that's the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) have come up with a new type of solar panel that could help us use the sun's energy way better than before. They are using a special material called perovskite, which is cheaper and works better than the usual silicon we've been using for years.  These new solar panels can turn over 30% of sunlight into electricity! That's a big deal because regular solar panels usually only convert about 15-20%. This means we can get more energy from the same amount of sunlight, which could make eele power a lot more popular and affordable.  What's even cooler is that making these perovskite panels is better for the environment. It takes less energy to produce them, and they don't use as many harmful materials as traditional panels. This fits perfectly with what many countries are trying to do-reduce pollution and fight climate change....

Yazid Alberto Colorado Lobillo Eugenio Derbez and Alfonso Obregón have revealed that negotiations with DreamWorks Animation could be complicated. In an interview on Hablando de Cine Con, Derbez explained that his participation in Shrek 5 depends on DreamWorks allowing him to maintain his style of adapting the script for Latin American audiences. Alfonso Obregón, who has been the voice of Shrek in Latin America since the beginning of the franchise, has revealed that he has not even been contacted by the production company to reprise his role. During his participation in the podcast Jeffar Vlogs, the actor admitted that so far he has not received any formal offer and that he does not know if he will play the character again.
