If you were far away from the Earth, on a line that intersects the centers of the Sun and the Earth, here's the sunlit half of the Earth you would be seeing during the June and December solstices. Two very different views of Earth! 🧪

From Anavi Uppal @anaviuppal.bsky.social : In February 2023, the KM3NeT underwater observatory observed the highest-energy neutrino ever detected. Did it come from a dying primordial black hole? ⚛️🔭☄🧪

Did we detect the death of a primordial black hole?

In approx 74% of school shooting incidents, the firearm was obtained from the shooter’s home or the home of a close friend or fam member*

Safe&secure gun storage—unloaded&locked up—saves lives.

Gun owners have a role to play in combating the problem, he said. "We all know that there's more firearms than there are people in the United States, so what if everybody who owned a firearm kept it locked up?" Brooks said. "What would happen to the numbers of suicides by family members, accidental discharges among children, people getting a parent's firearm and then going somewhere and doing a mass shooting or a homicide?"

This graph shows changes in age 20-64 non-Hispanic white death rates for states grouped by party the state generally votes for from 1999 through 2023. See text for more information. 🧪💡☠️ #Sociology #Politics #News
This is a.graph that is very much like earlier ones I have posted. The major change is that this one includes data for 2023 or. was for all races, the last similar one ended with data for 2022. The major change at the end is that all three of the dots are back on line with the pre-COVID years that show the party gap is increasing. The Republican voting states have a little higher death rate than the line of red dots from 1999 through 2019 shows. The mixed party states shows a similar effect while starting equal to Democratic voting states the last dot is about a third of the way up to the Republican dot for 2023. Then the blue, Democratic, line of dots shows some more of an increase, it is not as much as the other two groups of states. In general the graph shows. that while the. middle aged has had. increasing. death rates in the United States since 1999 the increases are strongest in. Republican voting states, second in mixed-party voting states. and smallest in Democratic voting states. Here are the states by my grouping by party: Dem Mix Rep CA AZ AL CO GA AK CT IA AR DE MI FL DC MN ID HI NH IN IL NC KS ME OH KY MD PA LA MA TX MS NV WI MO NJ MT NM NE NY ND OR OK RI SC VT SD VA TN WA UT WV WY

What makes us feel "fight or flight" may be less adrenaline and more of something else—a hormone that seeps out of our bones.

“NOAA’s tsunami prgm was already bare-bones &needed more staff &funding…losing even a few ppl like me, w/niche expertise that’s diffclt to replace, means things will fall thru the cracks.

Corina Allen at NOAA was updating the outdated technology of tsunami warning centers. When you lose niche expertise, it will be difficult to replace.

This is a series of accounts from scientists who have lost their jobs after cuts by the Trump administration.

A large spiral galaxy with a prominent disk and small central spheroid is centered on a black background dotted with stars. There are brown dust spirals in the disk, and some slight warping of the disk is apparent. Two bright dwarf galaxies are visible nearby.

In 2010, a scientist argued that 2.1 billion-year-old African specimens showed complex life appearing 500 million years ahead of schedule. His critics say they are — literally — fool's gold. At stake? The question of when and how complex life arose at all.

Little blast from the past today! Ten years ago I was advertising a lecture on gravitational waves (as the Astrosoc president at Glasgow uni), not knowing they had been detected by @ligo.org already. The abstract reads very differently now!

(Maybe @uofgravity.bsky.social will enjoy this too)

🔭🧪
A poster for a guest lecture on Tuesday 3rd November 2015, "gravitational wave astronomy: listening to ripples in spacetime, by Dr Angus Bell and Margot Phelps" Our first lecture of the year will be by Dr Angus Bell and Mrs Margot Phelps, who will be telling us all about gravitational waves and the Advanced LIGO detectors! Snacks and refreshments will be provided after the lecture. "Gravitational Wave Astronomy - listening to ripples in spacetime Almost exactly 100 years ago Einstein predicted that movements of mass or energy would create a curvature in space-time that would propagate at the speed of light. Since the late 1960s, scientists have been building instruments to try and detect these ripples in space-time, which are known as gravitational waves. For the first time we now have instruments with a high enough sensitivity to give us real confidence in seeing a signal within a few months observation time and we started observing almost 1 month ago! At this very exciting time for the field, we will review the history of gravitational waves, the principles involved in detection and how the amazingly sensitive instruments we use to look for them were built. We will also discuss some possible sources of gravitational waves, what a signal might look like and what the astrophysical implications might be when we detect them (or if we don't!!)."

Yes, Indigenous stories matter.
Yes, Indigenous food belongs on shelves.
Yes, our culture is worth knowing
because it’s shaped this land in more ways than one.
Culture doesn’t divide us.
It brings us to the table.
