I completed a picture of my character, Roxy, that I am ridiculously proud of! Roxy is a the Lead Warrior Siren in Hubris and is bound to Australia (Sirens bond to a culture of people and take on characteristics of those people).

NASA confirms: this July was the hottest month on record.๐ŸŒก๏ธgo.nasa.gov/3qwsszU

Our record starts in 1880, when consistent global recordkeeping became possible. It shows an undeniable pattern of increasing global temperatures, primarily from human emissions of carbon dioxide.

Mid-infrared!

Webb sees in near-infrared and mid-infrared wavelengths โ€” invisible light that we feel as heat. This allows the telescope to peer back in time at the early universe, look through dust clouds to see stars being born, and more: spaceplace.nasa.gov/james-webbโ€ฆ

Many! As in exoplanets. (5,496 planets confirmed beyond our solar system!) exoplanets.nasa.gov

5,496!
That's how many planets we've confirmed beyond our own solar system. Some may have rubies blowing in winds, others may have broken glass. Some are so hot, molecules can't survive. Others are so cold, everything is locked in a deep freeze. Each is just right in its own way.โ€ฆ

Today a group of remarkable young people in Montana won a landmark lawsuit when a judge ruled that the stateโ€™s failure to consider #ClimateChange when approving fossil fuel projects was unconstitutional. nytimes.com/2023/08/14/us/montโ€ฆ

Hats off to the young people, and to the judges.
Still, Iโ€˜m not about to hold my breath until the decision has a measurable impact. Got some nagging feeling Montana will jury rig any consideration such that the ecological impact is neglected.

Well it had to happen eventually. #Scripps is retiring FLIP (FLoating Instrument Platform). This is an amazing piece of engineering (and soooo weird on the inside - everything pivots, so walls become floors). The #ship to be towed out to a location, and it would literally flip, sinking most of the ship directly down to give a *very stable platform for #oceanography research. Launched in 1962.

Bring on some Europa, Enceladus and Ganymede missions. We need to see those subsurface oceans!

I sense the blueberries likely added pigment to the salsa making the colour really pleasing do you think they contributed flavour too or perhaps just sweetness?
