There are many ways to promote and advertise your supported a team, or a player and one of the best way is through sports jerseys. It comes to a time when you may wearing your jersey and due to instances such as feeling a bit embarrassed because your team lost or finding yourself somewhere packed with supports from your opponent, then, at that point, you might have wished you were not wearing the jerseys.

At the All-Star Technology Summit recently held, the NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver unrevealed a sparkling, smart NBA jersey. This smart jersey is aimed to allow its users to modify their team and the name of the jersey on the fly.  The Commissioner did not go into details in terms of how these modifications are precisely made, however, looking at what was a showcase, it seems to be controlled by a smartphone app.

Moreover, rumors and guesses have it that, there is a possibility of a kind of flexible display that is built into the jersey. Presumably, this flexible display will allow the user to modify the jersey to another team by using a smartphone app that comes with it.  The NBA smart jersey so far might be somewhat limited due to its ability to only the change name and number that was initially on the jersey. Therefore we the idea of changing to another color might be a later feature.

We don’t know whether there are plans to begin selling these smart shirts, in the long run. Nevertheless, it will be intriguing to perceive how generally welcomed these smart jerseys are when they are made available to buy. Meanwhile, different companies, for example, Google had already started investigating the idea of smart clothing, yet to date, the smart clothing tech hasn’t become conventional.

Kuiper Belt has recently been the location for NASA’s New Horizons mission, and they have been slightly looking around that area a while now. On the 1st of January this year, the Kuiper Bolt object 2014 MU69 as it was formally known was captured by a flyby spacecraft. New Horizons was said to be about 4,200 miles away at the time the image was taken.

Captured image by the spacecraft was yet the perfect shot of the object which is now called Ultima Thule. According to NASA, the image was taken by the use of a wide-angled Multicolor Visible Imaging Camera or MVIC component of the Ralph Instrument on the spacecraft. Taking a look at the official time stamp shows that the image of the Ultima was shot at 12:26 a.m. EST on the said date, which was just about seven minutes before the nearest approach to the Ultima was achieved. The team made use of a method called deconvolution to hone the image and to enhance fine details. The original image taken according to NASA had a resolution of 440-feet per pixel. The object has a huge circular feature on its smaller part which is about 4-miles across. That feature is said to give a smart idea of the size and dimension of the object Ultima Thule.

The hook turns out that, the process inclines the graininess of images that are taken at a high contrast level. Close to the top of the image, one may see the terminator, not necessarily a cyborg, rather the line where the day/night border exists. Also, when you take a closer look, you can see small pits in the surface of the object that is about 0.4-miles in the distance across.

Furthermore, NASA has included that, the series of light and dark patterns on the Ultima are of anonymous origin. Scientists are uncertain if the pits on the surface of the object are from impacts or the venting of unstable materials in the easy stages or life of the object. However, further research is being carried on the Ultima Thule by scientists.
