Good morning! It’s time for my daily photo + alt-text story time.

Luskentyre light. There’s little like it. Head into the alt-text more 🖤 #isleofharris #scotland #outerhebrides #storytime
Harris is one of those places that captures the heart, rain or shine. The colour of the water looks gorgeous under overcast skies, glowing turquoise, greens and blues. There is a spot, after driving over the Harris Hills from Lewis, where Luskentyre comes into view in the distance. I look forward to it every time. It takes my breath away and I anticipate reaching the beach. After a while though, I crave the light. It had been 10 long days of storms and grey before a hopeful forecast. I’d spent each day on the beach, taking it in, but I was ready for a change, and gosh, what a change it was. Rain clouds still clung on in the afternoon sky, threatening and moody, but behind, the light followed. Wind whipped through the dunes, catching on the marram grass, dancing across the sand. I decided to focus on the relationship between dunes, grasses, light, sky and the hills in the distance by composing in portrait. A thin line of green sea separated the two halves of the image. The light was tremendous, illuminating everything in front on me, weak winter warmth on my face. The grasses began to glow, contrasting with the intense sky above, the ageless, eternal battle between light and dark.

Long awaited: LHCb has seen discrepancies for years in the angular distributions of B→Kμμ signatures (so in transitions of bottom to strange quarks) that definitely do not agree with the prediction. #CMSPaper 1360 now confirms the LHCb measurements https://buff.ly/3OnJSHe

At the heart of the new MESA accelerator in Mainz lies this 21-ton superconducting magnet. It will enable precision studies of a fundamental parameter of the #StandardModel, and explore nuclear forces critical to understanding #NeutronStars #PrecisionPhysics #NuclearPhysics
