El Cid "Campeador"
The life of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, better known as El Cid Campeador, is an epic saga that took place in medieval Spain during the 11th century. He is one of the most iconic and revered figures in Spanish history and was a legendary hero both in real life and in literature. His story is a mixture of military bravery, shrewd diplomacy and complex political relationships. El Cid was born Rodrigo Díaz circa 1043 in Vivar, also known as Castillona de Bivar, a small town about ten kilometers (or six miles) north of Burgos, the capital of Castile. His father, Diego Laínez, was a courtier, bureaucrat, and cavalryman who had fought in several battles. Despite the fact that El Cid's mother's family was aristocratic, in later years the peasants would consider him one of their own. However, his relatives were not major court officials; documents show that El Cid's paternal grandfather, Laín, confirmed only five documents of Ferdinand I's; his maternal grandfather, Rodrigo Álvarez, certified only two of Sancho II's; and El Cid's father confirmed only one. As a young man in 1057, El Cid fought against the Moorish stronghold of Zaragoza, making its emir al-Muqtadir a vassal of Sancho. In the spring of 1063, El Cid fought in the Battle of Graus, where Ferdinand's half-brother, Ramiro I of Aragon, was laying siege to the Moorish town of Graus, which was fought on Zaragozan lands in the valley of the river Cinca. Al-Muqtadir, accompanied by Castilian troops including El Cid, fought against the Aragonese. The party slew Ramiro I, setting the Aragonese army on the run, and emerged victorious. One legend has said that during the conflict, El Cid killed an Aragonese knight in single combat, thereby receiving the honorific title "Campeador".

Science. Content Warning.
NASA has recently disclosed that its lidar satellite mission, which involved the emission of energy beams into the atmosphere for a duration of 17 years, has concluded in August. CALIPSO, a collaborative endeavor between NASA and the French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES), has depleted its fuel reserves. Consequently, owing to its deteriorating orbit, the satellite has lost its ability to generate adequate power for the functioning of its scientific instruments. Consequently, the two space agencies have mutually decided to terminate the mission on August 1, as announced by NASA on Tuesday. The mission involved the integration of an active lidar instrument, which is an acronym for light detection and ranging, with passive infrared and visible imagers to investigate the vertical structure and characteristics of thin clouds and aerosols in the Earth's atmosphere. Lidar and radar both emit beams of energy towards the Earth and subsequently measure the reflection of these beams off the clouds and aerosols. Lidar is classified as an active sensor in comparison to other scientific instruments that employ passive sensors to measure reflected sunlight or radiation emitted from the Earth or clouds. CALIPSO, which is an abbreviation for the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation, was launched on April 28, 2006, in conjunction with the cloud-profiling radar system on the CloudSat satellite.
