In Chap 6 of #ComputationalHumanities, @kmcdono.bsky.social argues in "Maps as Data" that we can go beyond close reading for maps just like we can for text. How can we search over the built and natural environment, and over scales and time?

Guess I’ll go see the new Frankenstein, although I hear it’s another anti-Victor interpretation. So few film versions give proper weight to Victor’s last words: “I had a bad bounce, but don’t let that discourage you: next time might work.”
From Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley: "That he should live to be an instrument of mischief disturbs me; in other respects, this hour, when I momentarily expect my release, is the only happy one which I have enjoyed for several years. The forms of the beloved dead flit before me, and I hasten to their arms. Farewell, Walton! Seek happiness in tranquillity and avoid ambition, even if it be only the apparently innocent one of distinguishing yourself in science and discoveries. Yet why do I say this? I have myself been blasted in these hopes, yet another may succeed."

13 novembre 1718 : Naissance du diplomate et amiral britannique John Montagu, 4ème comte de Sandwich.
Il donna son nom au sandwich, un plat constitué à l'origine de tranches de pain entrelardées de morceaux de viande et de fromage, et dont il était très friand 😋.
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mo...
Portrait de John Montagu, 4e comte de Sandwich, vêtu d'un élégant habit du XVIIIe siècle. Il porte une veste richement décorée, des bas blancs et des chaussures noires ornées de boucles dorées. Debout, appuyé contre une colonne, il tient un document roulé dans sa main gauche. En arrière-plan, on distingue une architecture classique avec des dômes et des bâtiments imposants. Photo de sandwichs baguettes classiques, typiques des boulangeries françaises. Au centre, un jambon-beurre avec son pain doré et sa généreuse tranche de jambon. À droite, un rosette-cornichons où le saucisson et les cornichons apportent une touche de piquant. À gauche, un jambon-emmental alliant le moelleux du jambon et la douceur du fromage suisse. Les sandwichs sont présentés sur une surface neutre, mettant en valeur leurs textures et ingrédients

I am on my way home to Toronto and the aurorae are absolutely phenomenal.

If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

So this happened an hour ago. I don’t think I’ve seen red this deep in a long time. You could see it quite clearly with the naked eye. #aurora

I really need to get to bed, but I just poked my head out the back door again. This is the view from my deck. All of this is looking south. When the geomagnetic storms are like this, the oval overshoots me and stretches into the US, which is why so many are seeing it tonight. #aurora
A bright red glow reaches up into the darkness, illuminating the silhouettes of tall slightly scraggly, spruce trees Swirls of green and red light sweep down from the sky, lighting up the forest and contrasting against the Stark silhouettes of trees Dramatic swirls of green and red light swirl down from the middle of the sky, starkly contrasting against the bear of Poplar, tall Spruce trees. Still more dramatic curtains of light sweep down from above in sheets of green and red. The tall bear poplars and spruce spires our starkly silhouetted.

The Orange Fruit Dove decorates the treetops with its flame-like plumage. This species lives in forests on the islands of Fiji, where it munches on fruits and berries. Only males display bold orange plumage; females are green.

Poppies are a symbol of remembrance on Armistice Day. Did you know that some poppies are also the source of powerful opioid painkillers?

Find out more in this graphic: www.compoundchem.com/2020/11/11/p...

#ChemSky 🧪
Infographic on the chemistry of poppies. The red colour of the common poppy is due to anthocyanin pigments. Other red poppies also contain anthocyanins but the yellow Iceland poppy and alpine poppy contain nudicaulin pigments. The opium poppy has been used in medicine for thousands of years, with the milky opium fluid which contains alkaloids such as morphine used as a painkiller. The common poppy contains different alkaloids, which only have very milld pain-killing properties.

I find this remarkable:

The Dresden Codex, one of the few surviving Mayan manuscripts, contains tables that give highly accurate timings of solar eclipses over more than 700 years, from 350 CE to the 12 century. 🧪🔭

While Andrew Ainslie Common was pioneering Jupiter photography, French artist-astronomer Étienne Léopold Trouvelot captured what he saw through Harvard’s 15-inch Merz refractor.
Drawn Nov 1 1880 (9:30 PM); published 1881 in The Trouvelot Astronomical Drawings. #AstroHistory #Jupiter
Chromolithograph of Jupiter by Étienne Léopold Trouvelot, titled 'The Planet Jupiter, observed November 1, 1880, at 9:30 P.M.' A large pale orange globe dominates the frame, crossed by subtle horizontal bands in shades of peach, tan, and faint blue. The Great Red Spot appears as a distinct pale oval near the lower left limb. Delicate pastel shading captures atmospheric turbulence and limb darkening. Title and artist signature in elegant script at bottom. From The Trouvelot Astronomical Drawings (1881)
