Folks, today (20 Nov) is Transgender Day of Remembrance and I hope everyone can take some quiet moments to reflect and acknowledge on the violence and harm that has taken many from our wonderful Trans+ communities historically.

And a reminder that it costs nothing to be kind to everyone.

Aurora over Raisting Earth Station - From Simeon Schmauß (stim3on.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/2pQvpou
What a crazy night, we went into it not expecting much since the solar storm was forecast for after sunrise in central Europe. However, before the sun had even set, I got the alert that the first CME had impacted Earth, so the chances immediately looked a lot better. What then unfolded surpassed even our wildest expectations. We ended up driving to this satellite ground station south of Ammersee in southern Bavaria and just when we arrived we spotted the first diffuse pillars north of us. We experienced three waves of incredibly strong Aurora, especially for our rather Southern latitude. During the second wave we saw individual pulsating filaments dancing over our heads. What a breathtaking experience! Many thanks to Christopher for accompanying me on this adventure, Max for being an all round great guy, and Sebastian who lent me his wide angle lenses that made these shots possible.

Jean Davey served as a doctor during the Second World War.
She was the first female doctor to be granted a commission in a medical branch of the Canadian military.
After the war, she spent her life educating new generations of doctors.
This is her story.

Black and white portrait photo of a young woman in a formal military-style uniform, including a peaked cap with an embroidered insignia, round eyeglasses, a collared shirt with tie, and a double-breasted jacket with buttons, pockets, and shoulder epaulets featuring pins; she smiles slightly at the camera against a plain studio backdrop.

Martha Black was pregnant, on her way to the Klondike, when her husband left her.
She continued on herself, built a life and thriving business in Dawson City, became a celebrated naturalist and later a Member of Parliament.
This is the story of this amazing woman.

🧵 1/12
The photo depicts a person dressed in an early 20th-century style, likely Martha Black, wearing a long, elegant white dress with intricate lace detailing on the bodice and sleeves. The dress has a high neckline and a fitted waist, typical of Edwardian fashion. Her hair is styled in a voluminous, curly updo. She stands in a three-quarter pose against a dark background, holding a small handbag or clutch with both hands, one of which has a ring. The image has a soft, vintage, hand-tinted quality, common in early color photography.

Solar Flare (SDO AIA 304) 3-7-11 - From Jason Major (jpmajor.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/9oYcs2
A huge solar flare erupted near the Sun's northeastern limb on March 7, 2011, at about 2:21 PM EST, sending solar plasma over 200,000 miles into space and a wave of solar particles outward from the Sun at the fastest speeds seen in over 5 years. The small circle at upper right is the comparative size of Earth.

1. Mikayla (who is awesome) has done a stellar job with this article! Lots of interesting facts (and fiction) that was included in the movie

2. Murriyang is the best telescope in the world (fight me!) and The Dish (2000) is an excellent movie - a must watch!

3. Cricket in the dish? DONE IT!

The Dish: Fact vs fiction

The Dish is an Aussie classic, set at Murriyang, a.k.a the Parkes radio telescope. Most of the film is based on fact, but what was added for the sake of a (rollicking) good yarn?

The Very Large Array, part of The National Radio Astronomy Observatory, was formally dedicated #OTD in 1980.

It was renamed the "Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array" in 2012. Happy 45th birthday, VLA! 🧪 🔭 📡
An image from the movie “Contact” shows Jodie Foster’s character listening to headphones in front of a line of VLA radio dishes that stretch off towards the horizon. One of the dishes is my shaggy golden doodle Linus, wearing a post-surgery cone around his head.

Many of us remember what a sanctuary Crouton & Friends was for US during the scary early days of lockdown. It was a source of calm & sanity in the face of the unknown.

Now they need our help. Let’s thank them for everything they do by donating to keep the sanctuary we love alive.

LFG, Croutonia!
