Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope detects first gamma-ray eclipse: In a binary system where a higher-mass star (which have a shorter lifespan than lower-mass stars) has gone supernova and become a pulsar (a quickly rotating and incredibly dense stellar remnant, and one of the most bad-ass objects in the universe) its lower-mass companion eclipses the pulsar from our point-of-view (hence the "eclipse"). This helps astronomers determine the mass and position of the pulsar, and learn more about such binary "spider" systems in general: - NASA’s Fermi Detects First Gamma-Ray Eclipses From ‘Spider’ Star Systems

PBS Space Time- What If Humanity Is Among The First Spacefaring Civilizations? Anton is starting a weekly series about related topics. This is the first one: But Where Is Everybody? Fermi Paradox Explored: Problems With The Zoo Hypothesis - Anton Petrov. BTW: Anton has turned 40 and finally decided to take a week off. Note that he releases one video per day, all year around. Even during his week off. The quality is usually high. There was one video, which he thought didn't meet his quality standards and he apologized in public the next day, even though nobody complained. That guy is awesome.

The video below is from a channel dedicated to urban planning. It shows how Dutch engineers found great solutions for various infrastructure problems, which makes people in other countries scratch their head. BTW: I live very close to the locations where this has been filmed. And it is not only found in my neighborhood, it is how Dutch cities and villages are designed everywhere.

Funny story; a buddy and me went to Amsterdam with our high-school graduation money, and we had just gotten into the city for the first time from our hotel that was way out by the airport. We were leaving the first smokeshop we had stopped at (and so were really, REALLY high) and my buddy wandered into the bike lane got ran over by a guy on a bike... So then he was trying to convince me that we had to go back to the hotel (which was like a 45 min cab drive away) so he could take a nap and come down (he blamed being way too high for stumbling into the bike lane and getting ran over, which was probably true), but I'm not having it because we had only just taken the long ride into the city. So then I'm standing at a streetlight waiting for the light to turn and I look around and can't see by buddy anymore, then I notice him in the back seat of a cab that's waiting at the light... my friend rolls down the window and is like "I'm sorry man I just have to", so I gave up and got in the cab with him. You can be damn sure I made him pay for both the cab back to the hotel, and the cab back into the city once he had gotten his head on straight. Such a lightweight, smh...

The parts of a road colored red are bike paths. That means only bikes are allowed there. Although pedestrians usually have the right of way, they should only use the sidewalk and cars should never use a bike path. If a car hits a bike then chances are that a judge sides with the cyclist. And because all car drivers also use bikes, they know this. That's why bikes can be arrogant and you will be cursed when you walk on a bike path. The same is true for pedestrians. Don't drive on the sidewalk. There is a pedestrian crossing without traffic lights near my home. Cars usually stop when someone attempts to cross there. Even police cars without sirens stop. I think that has to do with the fact that cars respect pedestrians. And yes, you will be legally screwed when you run over a pedestrian.

I was trying to be polite in my response, but let me switch over to the famous Dutch directness: Generally locals in Amsterdam really dislike tourists in traffic. Especially high ones. Somehow their illogical and dangerous behavior is considered to be funny for everyone, except to the people who live there.

Oh, no need to pull any punches, my friend was being an annoying tourist, 100%. It was absolutely his fault, and he absolutely deserved it. And its good that the biker wasn't hurt (they didn't even fall off their bike or anything, my friend took the entire brunt of the collision iirc), since it wasn't their fault. Also, it was pretty funny; he played a stupid game and a won a stupid prize. If you can't handle your weed, don't go to Amsterdam, of all places. Or at least, if you do, watch where tf you're going, especially when you're baked out of your mind.

Tarantula Nebula images by JWST Once upon a space-time, a cosmic creation story unfolded: Thousands of never-before-seen young stars spotted in a stellar nursery called 30 Doradus, captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Nicknamed the Tarantula Nebula for the appearance of its dusty filaments in previous telescope images, the nebula has long been a favorite for astronomers studying star formation. In addition to young stars, Webb reveals distant background galaxies, as well as the detailed structure and composition of the nebula’s gas and dust.
At only 161,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy, the Tarantula Nebula is the largest and brightest star-forming region in the Local Group, the galaxies nearest our Milky Way. It is home to the hottest, most massive stars known. Astronomers focused three of Webb’s high-resolution infrared instruments on the Tarantula. Viewed with Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), the region resembles a burrowing tarantula’s home, lined with its silk. The nebula’s cavity centered in the NIRCam image has been hollowed out by blistering radiation from a cluster of massive young stars, which sparkle pale blue in the image. Only the densest surrounding areas of the nebula resist erosion by these stars’ powerful stellar winds, forming pillars that appear to point back toward the cluster. These pillars contain forming protostars, which will eventually emerge from their dusty cocoons and take their turn shaping the nebula.
Webb’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) caught one very young star doing just that. Astronomers previously thought this star might be a bit older and already in the process of clearing out a bubble around itself. However, NIRSpec showed that the star was only just beginning to emerge from its pillar and still maintained an insulating cloud of dust around itself. Without Webb’s high-resolution spectra at infrared wavelengths, this episode of star formation-in-action could not have been revealed.- www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2022/a-cosmic-tarantula-caught-by-nasa-s-webb

Interesting post on Hubble monitering weather changes on Jupiter and Uranus: Weather-watching on Jupiter and Uranus with HubbleHubble – an interplanetary meteorologist – keeps track of changing weather and seasons on the planets. Jupiter’s weather is driven from inside-out as more heat percolates up from its interior than it receives from the sun. This heat indirectly drives color change cycles, highlighting a system of alternating cyclones and anticyclones.
On the other hand, Uranus has seasons that pass by at a snail’s pace, because it takes 84 years to complete one orbit about the sun. Also, the seasons are extreme because Uranus is tipped on its side. So as summer approaches in the northern hemisphere, Hubble sees a growing polar cap of high-altitude photochemical haze that looks similar to smog over cities on Earth...-source: earthsky.org/space/weather-watching-seasons-jupiter-and-uranus-hubble/

In a similar vein, JWST has detected a dust storm on an exoplanet (which is pretty freakin' cool if you ask me)" NASA’s Webb Spots Swirling, Gritty Clouds on Remote PlanetResearchers observing with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have pinpointed silicate cloud features in a distant planet’s atmosphere. The atmosphere is constantly rising, mixing, and moving during its 22-hour day, bringing hotter material up and pushing colder material down. The resulting brightness changes are so dramatic that it is the most variable planetary-mass object known to date. The team, led by Brittany Miles of the University of Arizona, also made extraordinarily clear detections of water, methane and carbon monoxide with Webb’s data, and found evidence of carbon dioxide. This is the largest number of molecules ever identified all at once on a planet outside our solar system.
Cataloged as VHS 1256 b, the planet is about 40 light-years away and orbits not one, but two stars over a 10,000-year period. “VHS 1256 b is about four times farther from its stars than Pluto is from our Sun, which makes it a great target for Webb,” Miles said. “That means the planet’s light is not mixed with light from its stars.” Higher up in its atmosphere, where the silicate clouds are churning, temperatures reach a scorching 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit (830 degrees Celsius).
Within those clouds, Webb detected both larger and smaller silicate dust grains, which are shown on a spectrum. “The finer silicate grains in its atmosphere may be more like tiny particles in smoke,” noted co-author Beth Biller of the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. “The larger grains might be more like very hot, very small sand particles.”- webbtelescope.org/contents/news-releases/2023/news-2023-105
