Re: Show off your work

A picture I took today with my phone, when I had to drive my daughter from training to school.  I think it came out pretty neatly with the fog and everything.  She said, it was like two completely different worlds, diving from the warm sun into the cold mist in a few seconds.

Re: Science and Astronomy News

If we can have uncertainty about biosignatures in the planets of our local solar system, how much can we then trust signs of biosignatures in exoplanets when that kind of data becomes available?

Re: Our beautiful planet Earth: Voyages & Journeys

I'm not sure if I could live my entire life there though, there are too many things I love of Italy As for Italy, the country has some stunning scenery, like the Alps in the north, and active volcanos.  As for Italian cities, there is a north-south border.  North of Rome there is order, things are ...

Re: Our beautiful planet Earth: Voyages & Journeys

I'm a big fan of nature (I'm a scout for this reason) and I love beautiful landscapes, but when I saw England some months ago I just fell in love. I've never lived in England (the closest would be 5 - 6 months in Dublin, Ireland).  A few decades ago, I found English cities, London in particular, to...

Re: Science and Astronomy Questions

The sad thing about this is that Earth will be exactly like Venus in the future, and probably even hotter, because of runaway greenhouse effect... This is so sad to think about. Everything we created in these years, even the most durable thing in the most quiet place of the world will be erased. It...

Re: Science and Astronomy Questions

I am spontaneously teleported to the surface of Venus. How do I die, in excruciating detail? Your death would be pretty similar to being teleported into the ocean at 950 m depth.  Your death is instant and your body will be crushed by the pressure.  Then, within the next few hours you will be baked...

Re: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Thread

Any Canadians here or anyone with insight into Canadian politics?  I'm wondering how reopening talks go in Canada and how realistic it is for non-citizen youths to enter Canada in late January.  Whether further reopening is discussed at all.  Currently, two vaccine doses regardless of recoveries are...

Re: Totally off-topic thread

The Ukraine-Russia war has now moved close enough for my sensors.  My geophones recorded the demolition of the Nord Stream pipe in the Baltic Sea, almost 600 km away.

Re: Astrophotography

Looks like quite a bit of aurora activity lately.  I captured this "double" aurora last night ( video ): x.jpg Seen from Gaustatoppen, southern Norway 2022-09-06.  On the left, towards the north, we see the aurora borealis or northern lights.  On the right, towards the northeast, we see th...

Re: Science and Astronomy News

Is your software Sheep-proof?
It's been carefully tested against all the lunar sheep there are.  This is the software in question.  I have been working with the AV1 codec, having contributed both to the compression technology itself and to the software implementation in question.

Re: Science and Astronomy News

Artemis 1 launch postponed to 3 September.  I've written software on board that thing, in the Orion spacecraft (a video link inside the cabin).  Soon going to the Moon, which is kind of cool. :)

Re: Totally off-topic thread

Thanks Mid, I was hoping you would comment.  I am wondering if there was a third option available, as a biologist who lives in the area said it's the people who should have been kept away from the Walrus.  Could they have fenced or cordoned off the area to keep humans from interacting with the walr...
