krios 1 @diamondlightsource.bsky.social celebrated 10 years of user operations last week - many people thought we were mad to plonk it down in this spot in the synchrotron …but its still there as we ended up with a lot more in a very small space of time !

A tribute parade for the late Eddie Jordan will take place at Silverstone today.
Many of his team's cars are here, from the first to one of the last (looking particularly odd here due to its absence of nose, Pirelli tyres and lumpy engine cover to accommodate a change of motor).

Reconstruction of early medieval cashel at Cahercommaun near Kilnaboy, the Burren, Co Clare (by Conor McDermott, based on photo by National Monuments Service and other photoshopped images of houses, cattle, crops and landscape) This is what we think one early medieval ringfort might have looked like
