Please excuse a non-nature post. This is happening now to bring awareness to Long Covid. I've been watching for half an hour and already learned a lot. Dianna Cowern is an incredible science Youtuber who's been in bed with Long Covid for almost two years. Hosted by Simone Giertz & others. 🧪

Roughly 50,000 years ago...
Shanidar 1 (aka Nandy) walked the earth.
What can we say about the life and death of this Neanderthal?

I was there for basic training back in 86 (yeah, I'm old). It's a pretty cool and fun city, if you can tolerate tons of military folk - many of whom are in basic training. Not too far of a drive, you'll enjoy some really dark skies and interesting geology.

If it's a big city or college town, the worst you'll experience is ridiculously hot weather in summer. But don't "sweat" it! 😉 Corpus Christi?

Good afternoon! I'm hitting a roadblock on finding primary sources for the Greek story of the Pleiades. I've read through Hesiod, but he merely refers to the actual stars, not the story behind it. Anyone have anything? Thank you so much! 🏺

That's awesome! I have a 2012 Prius and looking forward to either going full electric or a plug-in hybrid when this dies. When you're on bat only, does it limit you in speed? The Prius will kick the engine on if one accelerates past 25mph.

I think these types of findings are going to become more frequent as arial surveys become easier and cheaper. I get giddy about these things. 🤓 🏺

I read this book recently, www.goodreads.com/book/show/39...
The author posits that our American system was at least partly based on Algonquin (if I remember correctly, which I probably don't).
He didn't provide adequate evidence, but seemed reasonable. I'd love to do a deep dive on this.

Sorry little fox! 🦊 He was out for a midnight stroll and did *not* expect me to be sitting here in my lawn chair in the driveway with my telescope 😂 We spooked each other! (I don’t think he stopped by to wish me happy birthday…) Back to collecting photons from NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula 🔭 🧪

Considering that most Europeans have some amount of Neanderthal DNA, those lines have certainly blurred.

It's a good point. I've always had the feeling our humanness is much older than what was hypothesized... At least until recently.

As Inanna journeys to the Underworld, so do the Hero Twins: Inanna’s sacrifice of her husband, Dumuzi, and Xbalanque’s sacrifice of his brother Hunahpu. They share the death and resurrection just as Venus or the moon - each disappear and then rise again. 🏺🔭
