TikTok introduces animated video stickers feature

Popular short video platform TikTok has launched animated video stickers for its direct messages.

The new stickers differ from the usual ones as they work like GIFs. Users can opt for the stickers provided by TikTok, or they can create their customised stickers as well.

To create new stickers, select the “create sticker” option in the direct message window. Users can choose a video from their content or content posted by others. Once the video is selected, crop the video accordingly using video-scrubbing thumbnails. TikTok also allows users to add text to the stickers.

If users want to allow others to use their stickers, they can add the custom stickers to the TikTok store.

Launching video-animated stickers aims to make the conversation fun, engaging and quick. Previously, TikTok started allowing users to create and upload stickers that could be used in direct messages.

They propose to create a shield of lunar dust to protect the Earth from the Sun

A team of astrophysicists suggests that we could mitigate the effects of global warming by shooting lunar dust into space to shield Earth from sunlight. On a cold winter day, the warmth of the Sun is welcome. However, as humanity emits more and more greenhouse gases, Earth’s atmosphere traps more and more solar energy and is constantly increasing in temperature. One strategy to reverse this trend is to intercept a fraction—between 1 and 2%—of sunlight before it reaches our planet. Now, a study led by the University of Utah explored the potential of using dust to shield sunlight. They analyzed different properties of the dust particles, the amounts and the orbits that would be best suited to shade the Earth. The authors found that launching dust from Earth to a way station at the “Lagrange Point 1” between Earth and the Sun (L1) would be more effective but would require astronomical cost and effort. But there is a more “a...
