“Even a brick wants to be something. A brick wants to be something. It aspires. Even a common, ordinary brick... wants to be something more than it is. It wants to be something better than it is.” ― Louis Kahn #FRIDehradun #Architecture

Have you spotted the aurora this year? ✨

Recently, the aurora has been visible further from the poles than usual. This infographic looks at what causes the aurora and its colours!

wp.me/s4aPLT-aurora 🧪 #ChemSky #SciComm
Infographic on the colours of the aurora. Auroras result from charged particles from the sun hitting the Earth’s magnetic field. The particles follow Earth’s magnetic field lines and enter Earth’s atmosphere at the poles where the magnetic field is at its weakest. When they enter the atmosphere, the charged particles collide with atoms and molecules in the air. The collision results in the excitation of atoms and molecules, which give off varying colours of light as they lose the additional energy. The different colours of the aurora are caused by the collision of charged particles, usually electrons, with different gases at varying altitudes in the atmosphere. Red is rare and caused by oxygen atoms high in the atmosphere, green is caused by oxygen atoms lower down, and blues and purples originate from molecular nitrogen.

An old #ChemEd #Chemistry #ChemSky summary (from March 22), this is a cheatsheet for representing organic molecules & was meant for 1st year UG.
Pictures better than words (naming next!)
Made before I got Affinity Publisher so is rough.
More can be found: linktr.ee/nz_molecules
Hope it is useful?
A one page summary of the line diagrams used by organic chemists. This simple representation is the quickest way to communicate a molecules structure between people. There is 1: introduction. 2: Taking a structural representation (all atoms) and going to a line diagram. 3. how to draw the structures cleanly. 4. How to go from a line diagram to a structural representation. 5: common errors and a conclusion.

Messier 81 ✨🔭
"A magnificent image of Messier 81, a grand design spiral galaxy located approximately 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. The galaxy’s bright, golden core is surrounded by tightly wound spiral arms, which are subtly highlighted by pink regions indicating star-forming areas. The surrounding space is filled with countless stars, each adding to the depth and scale of this cosmic scene. The delicate structure of the galaxy’s arms and the contrast between the warm central glow and the cooler outer regions make Bode's Galaxy a captivating sight in the vastness of space." #space #astrophotography
