The Battle of Ourique is a defining moment in the history of Portugal, as it was here that Afonso Henriques was on July 25, 1139, proclaimed the first King of Portugal by his troops after defeating the Moorish army. The significance of the battle of Ourique cannot be overstated for it secured the founding of the Kingdom of Portugal.
The five blue shields at the very centre of the flag of Portugal represent the five Moorish kings that were defeated by Portugal’s first King Afonso Henriques in the battle of Ourique 1139. The white central shield is the personal armor of this same King and was said to have been given to him in a vision of the crucified Christ on the eve of battle.

Correction: 10:48 The location of the battle is heavily debated. Contemporary sources said that they do not know where the battle took place, only that it took place on “fields near Ourique”. But today many historians argue that Alfonso couldn’t lead a full military campaign in Alentejo with his limited resources, so deep in Muslim territory (he was only a count with a small realm). A more plausible location is suggested near Vila Chã de Ourique, which was closer to Portugal’s traditional lands. Nevertheless, historians are divided between Ourique in Alentejo and Vila Chã de Ourique further north – my opinion is that Vila Chã de Ourique is much more plausible.

🚩 In early 13th century, crusade was a new concept in Iberia, just beginning to take hold and influence their approach to the regular warfare with their Muslim neighbors. However, the clash at Las Navas helped to solidify and expand the acceptance of crusade ideology in the minds of the Iberian Christians in the ensuing years. This was a turning point in the age of Reconquista…

🚩 Sebastian, the king of the ever expanding Portuguese empire, wished to impose Christian rule over Muslim Morocco. He landed in Tangier with 23,000 troops and modern artillery. But the Moroccan forces, though not as well equipped, numbered over 50,000 men. Led by the determined Sultan Abd al-Malik, defeating the the Muslims would present the greatest challenge yet to the Portuguese overseas expansion… 🚩 Upon your requests I merged all parts of this mini-series for more convenient viewing.

🚩 Alfonso VI’s steady expansion and incorporation of Taifas into his realm provoked a reaction from the Almoravids. Commanded by Yusuf ibn Tashfin, the Almoravid army met Alfonso force near Badajos. A victory for the Christians would break the last significant Muslim resistance and enable complete conquest of Iberia. A victory for the Muslims would stop and reverse the Reconquista.

The 2018 European CanSat launch campaign took place from 28 June until 1 July 2018 on the island of Santa Maria, Azores (Portugal).
Hosted by the Regional Fund for Science and Technology (FRCT) in collaboration with local partners. Nineteen teams participated this year: the winners of the CanSat national competitions from Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Nordic (joint competition Finland-Sweden-Norway), Portugal, Poland, Romania, the Netherlands, Spain, and the UK, as well a team from Hungary selected directly by ESA.
The European CanSat competition is only one of ESA’s initiatives to help young people increase their literacy and competence in STEM disciplines and inspire them to pursue a career in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields.
O lixo espacial é um problema premente na órbita da Terra. Existem milhões de objetos a voar pelo espaço, descontrolados, colocando em perigo satélites e astronautas.
Em busca de uma solução para evitar uma colisão trágica para lá da última fronteira ou, quem sabe, o infortúnio de um qualquer detrito cair e atingir alguém na Terra, cerca de 200 cientistas reúnem-se todos os anos na Holanda, na base da Agência Espacial Europeia (ESA, na sigla original), para debater a limpeza do espaço e confrontar ideias sobre o desenvolvimento, por exemplo, de satélites mais seguros no fim de vida.
Existem quase 8000 toneladas de lixo espacial em órbita, incluindo cerca 29.000 objetos com mais de dez centímetros e mais de um milhão pequenos demais para poderem ser seguidos.
As colisões acontecem e todos os pedaços, mesmo os mais pequenos de apenas um milímetro, revelam-se perigosos, sublinha a diretora do gabinete da ESA para a limpeza do espaço.
