A mysterious visitor from beyond the stars zipped through our solar system, no tail, strange speed, bizarre shape. Was it just a rock… or something more?

Trump is no Napoleon.
Excerpt from 'Jacquard's Web' on Joseph-Marie Jacquard, who pre-dated IBM over a century in using punched cards to issue instructions to machines.
So cool. If you zoom in on the upper right, you see a little crescent. That's the Martian moon Phobos.
Zoom in again and you'll see a star next to Phobos. That's Earth! That's home.
Seen from Mars by NASA's Curiosity rover.

Who knew that the American public overwhelmingly likes science? (The previous sentence was pure sarcasm on my part)
Last evening I derived the "quantum correlation" for the two channel optical Bell experiment, right here on my Mastodon account. But I did so WITHOUT quantum mechanics, and I did so in a way that makes it clear there is only classical Newtonian motion.
Go see it for yourself: https://masto.ai/@chemoelectric/115805620208576148
It is not a "quantum" anything. It is the ordinary correlation function for ordinary behavior. Yet "Physics" and "Science" channels will go on announcing MAGIC.

TFW you get to use a 1950s survey scope to pin azimuth for true north on an incoming Sundial.
A bit of fun, this Wild Heerbrug T3 (yes, that's its name) #canada government scope was donated to #yorkuniversity in 1980s, when the original York Sundial still existed.
Now we're getting a BIG Sundial and using a bit of the 50s from the 80s to align azimuth.
The location is awesomely aligned with @AllanICarswellObservatory for likely obvious reasons 😀 #astronomy #Astrodon #science #sundialsunday

A new study finds that freshwater resources are rapidly disappearing, creating arid “mega” regions and causing sea levels to rise.

NASA Chief Gives Serious Warning About 3I/ATLAS Collision with Earth
3i Atlas came from deep space, silent and unseen, slipping into our solar system on a path no one expected.

One of the best articles I have read from Paul #Krugman
It explains how #Trump not only has betrayed the world's trust, but also dismantled US #science. Other countries take over while he also threw America’s system of #alliances in tatters. The USA lost the power they had via strategic partnerships.
This week Trump starts his next fight with China, while within a year, America has become more vulnerable to a rupture than #China.
(PS: just ask US #farmers)

Did lead (#Pb) limit #brain and #language #development in #Neanderthals
and other extinct hominids?
Ancient human relatives were exposed to lead up to two million years ago, according to a new study. However, a #gene #mutation may have protected modern human brains, allowing language to flourish.
A ladybird beetle spreading its wings captured with a high-speed camera. In real-time wing deployment from the fully folded state takes less than 0.1 seconds.

OK, this is a long (36 min) but really good Hank Green video. All about why we are farked in terms of recycling plastic. If you can stand his hyper-kinetic delivery (he's the ONLY YouTuber I slow down the playback speed on), well worth a watch
