Be sure to help those in need at Christmas — and if you're feeling extra festive, maybe dismantle the systems that create and perpetuate poverty.

We shouldn't underestimate the role bots play in framing our beliefs, behaviour, and online content.

Bots both mimic and shape human sentiment.

TODAY’S NEW HUBBLE IMAGE!! 🌌
A spiral galaxy filling the view. Its disk holds many bright red spots where stars are forming, dark reddish threads of dust that obscure light, and bluish glowing areas that hold concentrations of older stars. It has a large, glowing yellow oval area at the center, from which two spiral arms wind through the galaxy’s disk. One side of the disk appears rounded (bottom of the image) while the opposite side appears somewhat squared-off (top of the image).

We had a visitor in the neighborhood yesterday. This beautiful owl didn't seem bothered at all as I slowly approached him. I used my longest telephoto lens to get this shot. I just had to be patient until he finally looked directly at me.

Taken Under the "Wing" of the Small Magellanic Cloud
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is one of the Milky Way's closest galactic neighbors. Even though it is a small or so-called dwarf galaxy, the SMC is so bright that it is visible to the unaided eye from the Southern Hemisphere and near the equator. Many navigators, including Ferdinand Magellan who lends his name to the SMC, used it to help find their way across the oceans. Modern astronomers are also interested in studying the SMC (and its cousin, the Large Magellanic Cloud), but for very different reasons. Because the SMC is so close and bright, it offers an opportunity to study phenomena that are difficult to examine in more distant galaxies.
