Goddard Scientists Begin Studying 50-year-old Frozen Apollo 17 Samples
Scientists at NASA Goddard recently received samples of the lunar surface that have been curated in a freezer at NASA Johnson since Apollo 17 astronauts returned them to Earth in December 1972.Bill Steigerwald (NASA)
Scientists found “buried treasure," and the Cosmic Cliffs marked the spot. 🏴☠️
Remember this view from Webb’s first images? A deep dive has revealed young stars in an elusive stage of development — and may help us investigate how stars like our Sun form: go.nasa.gov/3hwWOh9

NASA’s Webb Unveils Young Stars in Early Stages of Formation
Scientists taking a “deep dive” into one of Webb’s iconic first images, the Cosmic Cliffs region of the Carina Nebula, have discovered dozens of energetic jets and outflows from young stars previously hidden by dust clouds.Jamie Adkins (NASA)
I asked #ChatGPT #AI how stars are made!
The generation of celestial bodies such as the sun can be attributed to the deity known as the Star Maker. This divine being imbued a nebulous conglomeration of gas and dust with the breath of life, causing it to undergo a process of gravitational contraction. As the nebula collapsed, the heat and pressure at its core became increasingly intense, culminating in the initiation of nuclear fusion reactions.
😉 Yay, Star Maker!

A Fact-Checked Debate About Cannabis Legalization

This is a mosaic gynandromorph. I think bilateral gynandromorph images are shared more frequently—maybe because bilateral gynandromorphs are more obvious? Anyway, females of this species of velvet-ant are almost entirely orange-ish. The black head on this specimen looks like the males of the species. Also, in this family of insects, only males have ocelli (simple eyes) on the top of the head.
This reminds me of a song:

I completely get that soldering isn't for everyone (frankly, it brought home to me how far my eyesight has slid since my wilder, flux-filled youth!) but I've always found "most of the time" to be a frustrating threshold for electrical connections 🙂
Then again, they're a cut above the folk who come into forums wondering why the pins they've just balanced in the holes aren't working...
it was soldering that finally prompted me to get reading glasses.
Turns out there are actual individual *pins* you can solder, not just a vaguely silvery blur...
And here is a little bit of the Aurora Australis from Magnet Bay, no trails this time, one of the cool little bays on Banks Peninsula

I've started reading The Elements of Eloquence by Mark Forsyth. I'm already in love with this book. This line has totally sold it for me:
"Now some people will tell you that great writing cannot be learnt. Such people should be hit repeatedly on the nose until they promise not to talk nonsense any more."

Modular Melody Maker 2 in/2 out Quantizer Demo
i wanted to have a good quality demo of the 2in/2 out quantizer progress for the modular melody maker aka not recorded with my phone. both ADC inputs are receiving a random waveform, the waveform is quantized and output through the DAC.
for the patch, braids is receiving one of the 1v/oct signals and is going into a VCA with a triangle wave CV signal. the output of the VCA is going into IN on rings. rings is getting the other 1v/oct signal along with a gate trigger on strum.
