Things are about to get ugly back home next week. I need to show people how to get started with Bluetooth mesh networking.

Morally panicked people are feverishly pointing to all these studies saying AI search will affect intelligence negatively whereas back in the 2010s we had claims of the "Google effect" suggesting search engine do the same.

They had hooves. HOOVES! 🤯 #paleontology #dinosaurs

Dinosaur mummy found with hooves and a hidden crest
Scientists have reconstructed the most complete and lifelike profile of Edmontosaurus annectens thanks to an extraordinary preservation process called clay templating, in which a thin clay film captured the dinosaur’s skin, scales, spikes, and even hooves in three dimensions. By combining newly excavated “mummies,” advanced imaging, and artistic reconstruction, researchers revealed a tall crest, a single row of tail spikes, delicate pebble-like scales, and—most remarkably—the earliest known hooves in any land vertebrate.

Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) is breaking apart — and some of you caught it live. After passing 0.3 AU from the Sun, it erupted, and three days later a third appeared.
K1 is now officially in pieces.

It has become very fashionable amongst rightwing groups to hate on Avatar, and nothing seems to have changed since 2009. The rhetoric keeps getting louder and louder as Avatar: Fire and Ash's premier date approaches, almost like a self gaslighting mantra. It is quite a sight to behold.

Whooooaaaa, this is extremely neat!
And spectropolarimetry (which is the best, and what we used in my first paper too!) is at its core 💙
In a nutshell: astronomers used the polarization of light to study the shape of a supernova explosion before it interacted with surrounding material.

For the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a supernova explosion just a day after detection, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.
Achieved by our VLT, this feat will help us understand how massive stars die: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2520/

Geeeez!
The scale of that last X-class flare from the Sun, is belting us with solar cosmic rays!
Spoke with my neighbour (lead scientists at Australia's Space Weather Service) and he said it packed ~500 MeV protons!
So strong, they've reached ground level at Mawson station! 🤯
