James Webb
Last March, he picked up the telescope "James Webb" The first accurate image, and it was of a star located two thousand light years away, knowing that the telescope began its mission at the end of 2021, and after that it began to successively send pictures of the universe, such as pictures "pillars of creation"They are clouds of gas, dust and stars.
The telescope’s images seemed amazing to many, and because it sees the universe from infrared rays, it is able to capture light that the human eye does not see.
Pure Chinese station
Also in November, Beijing announced the full operation of the Chinese space station, naming it "Heavenly Palace"It is the second largest permanently inhabited site in Earth’s orbit, and is operational for 10 years.
The station accommodates up to 6 astronauts "Heavenly Palace" It consists of a basic unit and two laboratories weighing 70 tons, and includes 14 internal experiment racks and 50 external outlets for space studies.
The Chinese space station aims to build a base on the moon and send new orbiters to Mars.
Jaafar said that China’s entry into this space battle was not a coincidence, as it benefited from being a manufacturing incubator for major international companies in the field of technology.
He explained that Beijing learned from this technology in order to break the polarity in the field of the space industry, especially since China is prohibited from participating in the International Space Station.
Stocks plummet and laid-off employees
On the other hand, the year 2022 was difficult for technology companies.
For example, a stock fell "Microsoft" In the second quarter of the year by about 17 percent, the largest decline since 2010, shares also fell "Camel" By about 22 percent in the second quarter, the worst performance since 2018 "meta" Its shares fell by 34 percent in the first quarter and 27 percent in the second quarter.
In all, investors in the technology sector lost $7.4 trillion based on the decline in 12 months, according to the index. "Nasdaq".
And after the American billionaire, Elon Musk, acquired… "Twitter"He started extensive layoffs in the company, affecting 3,700 employees, equivalent to half of the employees.
It didn’t take days for a decision "Twitter"until the company announced "meta" The competition laid off 11,000 employees, equivalent to 13 percent of the workforce in the company that owns the company"Facebook".
And I decided "meta"Continue to freeze new appointments until the first quarter of next year as part of a plan aimed at reducing spending, in light of the sharp slowdown in the digital advertising market and the fluctuation of the global economy, which faces recession risks.
Jaafar said: "Its people who believe in it are born with technology, and the advanced age of some of them prevents them from keeping up with this high speed".
He added "Unless you adopt innovative innovations and policy, the Internet giants will lose their luster".
The big hope
Cancer remains one of the most intractable dilemmas for final solutions, as it is a major cause of death around the world, killing 10 million people annually and infecting 20 million others, but the year 2022 brought great hope that these numbers could decrease.
And new hope is given to pediatric leukemia patients, as 2022 witnessed the first full recovery of a case that underwent the new type of treatment, which relies on genetically modified immune cells, coming from a healthy volunteer.
It is hoped that this technology, which has been dubbed "Basic modification"wide doors for the treatment of other types of cancer.

The space
Last November, the US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) conducted an experiment in which it launched the “Artemis” rocket, carrying a habitable spacecraft on board.
And “NASA” says that this step paves the way for the return of humans to the moon, and perhaps beyond.
“NASA wants to use today’s technology to inform people of the flight path and to give the return to the moon a new character,” said Shagali Jaafar, an expert in technology and information security, to “Sky News Arabia”.
And he considered that the time period for the settlement of the moon is still somewhat far away, because the capabilities available in space and the factors discovered there do not meet the minimum requirements for human life.
However, the expert said, “No matter how far the experience is, we benefit from it daily in our world, there are many sciences on earth that have benefited from these experiences.”
And in 2022, the population of the Earth will reach 8 billion, which raises questions about the ability of humans to secure them against any celestial body that collides with their planet.
During the same year, “NASA” took practical steps towards protecting the Earth against any possible collision, as it launched the “Dart” probe on a suicide mission, the collision with the “Dimorphos” asteroid, 11 million kilometers from Earth.
The collision diverted the path of “Dimorphos”, in the first step of a future project to establish a space defense system that protects Earth from celestial bodies, which number more than a billion in our solar system.

Pure Chinese station
Also in November, Beijing announced the full operation of the Chinese space station, calling it the “Heavenly Palace”, which is the second largest permanently inhabited site in Earth’s orbit, and is valid for work for 10 years.
The station accommodates up to 6 astronauts. The station, which is called the “Heavenly Palace”, consists of a basic unit and two laboratories weighing 70 tons. It includes 14 internal experiment racks and 50 external outlets for space studies.
