The M1.09 flare which is occuring now from AR 4248 also is launching a nice CME with a large blob of material propagating away from the Sun, highly visible in the 304 Å filter. It is a nice eruption headed away from us, unfortunately...

A key reason we have social security today is the Catholic Church. I know. Yes, that Catholic church. Back in the 1930's Catholics held that government institutions and programs must be designed “always with a view to the common good.”

We are hundreds of miles on the interstate past Nixon's crimes that look like harmless school pranks by comparison. Presidency-ending for anyone else since WWII. At a minimum, an immediate SecState resignation. But we've decided nothing matters for this One Special Boy & his authoritarian playmates.

Tigers are ambush predators. In dense green jungles, they stalk silently and invisibly on padded feet, leaping only when it's too late for the prey animal to escape. So why the heck are they bright orange? Let's talk about the tiger's camouflaged pajamas. (📷: Dave Pearson)

So, the colorblind prey can't see orange (see image left/right below for trichromatic/dichromatic views), but humans can... which is also why we make high-vis hunting gear orange: the deer see it as dark green. But why not just make dark-green fur? It's much harder than it sounds!

There are no versions of melanin that produce a distinct dark green, which is why green and blue is so rare in mammals, who derive many pigment pathways from abundant melanin. If orange works just as well, eumelanin and pheomelanin are more than capable of fine-tuning the right shade.

The stripes & lighter parts do still play a role in 'classic camouflage', breaking up the outline of a tiger among the grass or trees with darker patches that mimic shadows. So now you know the story of the tiger's pajamas.

We allow students to use handwritten „cheat sheets“ in the written exam of the introductory astro block course. This time, for the first time, we asked for those “cheat sheets” to be handed in, along with the examen. And I’m awed by the handwritten microfiche some of the sheets represent :-) 🔭⚛️🧪

Trump will not leave office voluntarily. The GOP and Trump will go to any length to maintain control of Congress next year. I won't say that either of these is 100% certain, but it's close.

: This fossil of a giant crinoid colony (Seirocrinus subangularis) attached to a piece of driftwood was found in Germany. Crinoid means "lily-like", but they're not flowers, they're animals, the ancestral line leading to modern sea stars & sea urchins.
