It's funny to read headlines (left) that we may have just "seen" dark matter. I covered similar claims, based on similar data from the same space telescope...in 2014 (right).

Now, as then: interesting observation, but weak evidence of a dark matter signal. 🧪🔭

The Perfect Day Trip: 5 Scottish Castles Near Edinburgh

📍 The Route: Tantallon Castle → Crichton Castle → Rosslyn Castle → Craigmillar Castle → Lauriston Castle

#Scotland #Outlander #HistoricScotland #VisitScotland #Edinburgh #DayTrip #ScotlandItinerary
A comprehensive image showing a recommended self-drive itinerary titled, "THE PERFECT DAY TRIP: 5 SCOTTISH CASTLES NEAR EDINBURGH", designed for an 8-hour and 44-minute duration. The central feature is a map displaying the Firth of Forth coastline and the surrounding region southeast of Edinburgh, with a winding green route traced across it, connecting five distinct castle locations. The left side of the image contains a vertical itinerary list detailing each of the five stops, interspersed with driving segments: Tantallon Castle (North Berwick). The start of the trip, located far east on the coast, near the town of North Berwick. Drive (45.7 km / 28.4 mi / 48 min). Crichton Castle (Dalkeith). The route travels southwest and slightly inland to this castle. Drive (19.3 km / 12 mi / 28 min). Rosslyn Castle (Roslin). The route continues southwest toward the Pentland Hills. Drive (10.1 km / 6.3 mi / 25 min). Craigmillar Castle (City of Edinburgh). The route now turns north, heading into the suburbs of Edinburgh. Drive (12.4 km / 7.7 mi / 33 min). Lauriston Castle (City of Edinburgh). The final stop, located within the city of Edinburgh itself, concluding the loop. The map visually reinforces the itinerary, showing the journey beginning in the eastern coastal area (East Lothian) and moving inland and westward in a semi-circular path before ending near the city center of Edinburgh. The overall duration is noted in the top right corner as 8h 44m. This resource is highly structured for someone planning a full day of sightseeing outside the Scottish capital.
