• “Cartography” is rooted in the Latin charta and Greek -graphē, concerning maps and writing — with no connection to Descartes’s name or mathematical concepts.

I have been experimenting with different ways of visualizing the curvature of meandering rivers. Plotting curvature in the context of the meanders themselves helps QC-ing the curvature data ⚒️🧪

Yesterday's eclipse captured in 2 frames about 2 hours apart, from the eyes of DSCOVR's EPIC camera (epic.gsfc.nasa.gov) parked around Lagrange point L1. I've been working a lot with this data recently, project coming soon...

Today, Doogie Typer is loaded up with Doogie's first entry, written on his 16th birthday in the pilot episode. He would have turned 50 today, just a tad younger than @nphstuff.bsky.social. Happy birthday Doogie.

Happy belated crab day
Crabs around Tokyo Bay. Even around the metropolis, we walk across diverse of crabs!
In Japan, 22 June is designated as "Crab Day" to promote crab dishes, but at this juncture, I would like to promote crab watching🦀
今日はカニ料理の美味しさをひろめるカニの日とのことで、カニ観察の楽しさもこの際ひろめたく、東京湾周辺のカニたちです。

I can think of few things better to do on a holiday Sunday than wander through this meticulous 3-D reconstruction of Tenochtitlan at its height. tenochtitlan.thomaskole.nl (I particularly dig the overlays between modern Mexico City and Tenochtitlan as it was.)

Another day, another amazing anatomy fact! 🧪
Your teeth are joints.
They're a fibrous joints called dento-alveolar syndesmoses. Science speak for: pegs of tooth fit into jaw socket.
LOOSE teeth are bad right? Why's it a joint? Because a tiny bit of movement tells you how hard you're cronching!

whales are just crustacean cruise ship, they exist to transport some of the oldest & well-adapted animals on the planet around the ocean
if you don't understand how amazing the adaptations are for the invertebrates living on cetaceans, you are missing out on some of nature's greatest wonders 🦑🧪
