My partner and I visited Norway and hiked (a surprisingly short hike) to a place called Litlefjellet -This was the view!
Litlefjellet, Norwegian for ‘Little Mountain’, is the name of the center mountain. Plus, we found the iconic pond that perfectly reflects the whole scene.
I loved it so much that I decided to make it into wood art! I hope you love it, too

Cool but not cold. The sky and sun were beautiful but Kengo's photos in the yard turned out to be subpar. The only decent one was in the house...oh well.

Patterns of change along the northern California coast including Redwood National and State Parks.

View of the coastal area of Redwood National and State Parks this weekend with sun, clouds, amenable tides, and the ongoing evolution of sediment properties and abundance. Here, we can see onshore rocks, a stretch of sandy beach, the green and yellow of the vegetation covering the slopes behind the beach, and a sky that is part cloudy and part blue. Temperatures were cool and a steady wind kept the day even cooler. The Pacific Ocean rolls in on the left. Waves were generally gentle throughout the weekend. The purpose of this image is in part to provide interested viewers with a snapshot of conditions should they be considering a visit to the area. Other resources for visitors include updated web camera images from the National Park Service and forecasts from the National Weather Service. The most important information for visitors is an understanding of the tide, as this area is inaccessible during times of higher tides.

Redwood National and State Parks (U.S. National Park Service)

Renowned for the world’s tallest trees, Redwood’s landscapes span from open prairies and oak woodlands to pristine rivers and untamed coastline. This ancient home has supported people for thousands of years. The National Park Service and California State Parks now work to safeguard and rejuvenate these lands for everyone’s enjoyment, learning, and inspiration.

oh wow, #Solaris 10 will be *completely* out of support in 11 months. I wonder if at that point, someone will publish the 2026-12 Critical Patch Update archive somewhere?

I mean I'm gonna keep porting stuff to it whether it's in-support or no, I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of what #Sun are p[ackaging, although I do appreciate that the 2021-10 CPU set includes Python-2.7.18, that's nice, and helpful

A 1985 Computer Chronicles segment about the brand new company SUN Microsystems.

Featuring Bill Joy, the segment goes on to express doubts that UNIX will ever catch on in the business world.

"UNIX will be important if it can deliver applications that people want to run."

Nothing he says is wrong, but in 1985 I can only imagine what it felt like.

I've just realised that my current location near Muscat is about 23km North of the Tropic of Cancer.

I've also just worked out that at the next summer solstice (09:24UTC) the sun will be about 450km to the west of me somewhere over the UAE.

Dhank is the nearest Omani town close to the Tropic of Cancer.

For some reason I feel this is significant and that I should be planning to do something at that time.

I was trying to take a picture of the sun.

#charmera #sun

A huge flash of golden yellow light against a blue sky, behind some telephone wires and a pole. It looks a bit like a bomb is going off, but is just the sun overpowering the processing capabilities of the tiny pocket-sized Kodak digital camera I was using.

All the essential ingredients to kick-start #life as we know it have now been found in samples from the #asteroid #Bennu.

Asteroids could have delivered all the prerequisites for life to Earth – and perhaps elsewhere.

In 2020, OSIRIS-REx mission extracted samples from Bennu, an asteroid that was orbiting the #sun between Mars and Jupiter, and returned the samples to Earth in 2023.

Since then, small amounts of the 121 grams collected have been sent out to labs across the globe for analysis, so specialists in detecting each type of biological compound could set to work.

The first studies revealed the presence of #water, #carbon and several organic molecules. Next came the detection of amino acids, formaldehyde and all five of the nucleobases found in #RNA and #DNA, as well as phosphates.

However, this isn’t quite enough to put together the molecules that carry genetic information.

Now, scientists have revealed the presence of #ribose, as well as other sugars, including lyxose, xylose, arabinose, glucose and galactose.

Asteroid Bennu carries all the ingredients for life as we know it

We knew from prior analyses that a distant asteroid sampled in 2020 carried all but one of the molecules needed to kick-start life, and researchers have just found the missing ingredient: sugar
