Why #ComplexitySci is fascinating?

#ComplexSystems are ubiquitous!🧬🦠🧫🔬🐠🦜🧠🌪️🧪
And provide an analytical framework to study the behavior of phys, bio, eco, human & artificial systems #AcademicSky

Curious? I write about them 👉 #ComplexityThoughts: manlius.substack.com

Believe it or not, this is still the same image, subject to a different post-processing of star lights.

What's better: left or right?
Better than the quoted ones or not?

Honestly my fav is the one on the right side of this post, not the quoted one.

When change moves faster than systems can adapt, they tip

Our culture of “now-ism” risks pushing climate, economies and societies past their limits

How modern “now-ism“ can accelerate crises in climate, finance and ecosystems
Slowing change may be our last line of defense

In questi casi posto una bella foto di Amanita Muscaria, naturalissima.

Molto gentile, grazie.
Ma si può fare molto di più (anche se non è chiaro se questo sia possibile con una semplice fotocamera, o serva un equipaggiamento migliore)

Si, la sfida è riuscire a fare queste foto senza un telescopio. È complicato, ma si può fare.

Si, in realtà mi costo da solo. I tuoi post e le tue foto mi servono solo da scusa 😜

La terza è più naturale, con quasi metà dell'esposizione.
Il post processing ha rimosso la naturalezza dalle prime due, eppure c'è più segnale li.

Mumble mumble.

@scrutacieli.bsky.social le prime due: circa 20k secondi di esposizione a 200mm.

La terza di un mese fa circa.

Eppure, non riesco a dire "a-ah". Dove sbaglio?

Io mi sto preparando per questo. Una breve finestra quasi buia di 2 ore, nei giorni a cavallo del picco di luminosità.

Ma resta da sperare che sia una sera priva di inquinanti, nuvole, pioggia, vicini troppo luminosi,...

In sostanza ci vuole un dottorato in signal processing.

The frightening truth is that the United States has reached this point not through a coup, but through a fully democratic and legal process.

Does this mean that this is what the majority of the country truly aspires to?

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 3d
Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Beautiful.

Why struggling so much now, if the closest point with the peak magnitude is expected on the 21st?

As usual, I'd say, it's our fault.

When the most credible voice for freedom turns out to be an actor who once played a rebel, you know history has a strange sense of irony.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

Between rocky Earths and gas-rich Neptunes, there are worlds that should exist but don’t. Why?

New exoplanet surveys reveal how stellar radiation may strip planets bare, showing that our solar system isn’t the rule: maybe it’s the exception.

And these huddles are not static blobs.

They are dynamic: penguins shift in slow traveling waves, circulating between the exposed edge and the warm center.

This constant motion ensures fairness and resilience: pure self-organization (cooperation) in action!

Emperor penguin huddles are a breathtaking example of emergent cooperation

1000s of 🐧 self-organize into dense clusters that conserve energy: sharing warmth, shielding from the wind and lowering metabolic costs. A collective solution to Antarctic survival.
