Besonders in der Nacht vom 13. auf den 14. Dezember lohnt sich der Blick in den Himmel, denn dann erreichen die sogenannten Geminiden ihr Maximum. Ihren Namen haben sie vom Sternbild Zwillinge (lat.: Gemini), aus dessen Richtung sie zu kommen scheinen.

@helenezillig.bsky.social presents her research at the #ENLIGHTConference2025!

She merged over 1,400 nighttime visits to #BlueSpaces with satellite data measuring Artificial Light at Night ( #ALAN) to explore how the brightness of a location relates to perceived #safety and #wellbeing. 🌃

"Researchers found that artificial pollution at night increased ecosystem respiration: plants, microbes, and animals released more carbon dioxide. However, there was no corresponding increase in photosynthesis, the plant process that removes it from the atmosphere."

Der Sternschnuppenschauer der Perseiden erreicht in der kommenden Nacht seinen Höhepunkt 💫 .
In diesem Jahr erschwert der helle Mond 🌖 die Beobachtung der Meteore. Allerdings huschen die Perseiden noch bis etwa zum 24. August durch die Nacht 🌠.

Writing is thinking. We get students to write so that they learn how to think and use their brains. Using LLMs to do your work is like trying to be an athlete by getting someone else to do your training for you.
What is the point of what we do if the interactions are not authentic? It is evident that students are increasingly turning to LLMs to "help" them do their work, with such dreary results - from handwaving generalizations that are rhetorically fluent but vacuous to outright hallucinations.
