FINLANDIA CERRÓ SU RED DE TELEFONÍA FIJA Le puso fin a las llamadas por línea fija tras el cierre del servicio de Elisa, el último gran operador del país. La última llamada fue entre Jarkko Saarimäki, director de la agencia de comunicaciones Traficom, y el CEO de Elisa, Topi Manner, quienes se despidieron con un informal "kuulemiin", que en finés significa "hablamos luego". La red finlandesa de telefonía fija estaba en funcionamiento desde la década de 1880. Finlandia, cuna de Nokia, fue abandonando las líneas fijas desde principios de siglo a medida que los celulares se masificaron. Elisa contaba con apenas unos pocos miles de abonados al momento del cierre. (+) en Clarín: https://t.co/w2KuEh1849

A telescope ranch in Texas lets people store high-end telescope setups under dark skies, where the roofs roll back at night and owners can remotely control their equipment from anywhere in the world to avoid light pollution. The rise of remote astronomy has reshaped amateur astrophotography, allowing enthusiasts to capture deep-space images without ever leaving home. Facilities like these are typically placed in exceptionally dark regions—often Bortle Class 1 or 2 skies—where the Milky Way can cast faint shadows and the night sky reveals thousands more stars than are visible from suburban environments. Many telescope ranches now offer infrastructure such as high-speed internet, automated weather systems, backup power, and robotic mounts capable of tracking celestial objects with extreme precision for hours at a time. Users can remotely schedule imaging sessions and collect data on distant galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters while located hundreds or even thousands of miles away. A fully equipped astrophotography setup can easily surpass $20,000 once telescopes, cameras, mounts, filters, and observatory access are included. For dedicated imagers, operating under consistently dark skies often produces far superior results compared to using identical equipment in light-polluted cities. Today, more than 80% of the global population lives under light-polluted skies, and roughly a third can no longer see the Milky Way from where they live.
