Same here, I feel lonely without 'em. I forgot to add the coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum) this Spring. Frogs love it.

🆕 This NASA/ESA #Hubble Space Telescope image shows our latest unexpected interstellar visitor, now called Comet 3I/ATLAS. The comet has a teardrop-shaped cocoon of dust around its solid icy nucleus, with size estimated up to 5 km across🧪🔭

esahubble.org/news/heic2509/ @science.esa.int @stsci.edu

At the centre of the image is a comet that appears with a teardrop-shaped bluish cocoon of dust coming off the solid, icy nucleus and seen against a black background. The comet appears to be heading to the bottom left corner of the image. About a dozen short, light blue diagonal streaks are seen scattered across the image, which are from background stars that appeared to move during the exposure because the telescope was tracking the moving comet.

Anyone who wants a deeper understanding of Japan MUST know about their relations to ghosts.

This is a lesson learned by many long-time residents of Japan, including Lafcadio Hearn who called this "The Rule of the Dead."

Zack Davisson @zackdavisson.com · Aug 4

August is ghost month here in Japan, when the walls between the living and the dead become slim. Obon, the Festival of the Dead, is the most important Japanese holiday.

Understanding the history, religion, and culture of yurei--Japanese ghosts--is vital to knowing Japan.

Re-make? Are you elsewhere too? Help me out a little, please. The video was taken from the fortress. It's just a few steps up there. I was lucky that they all started ringing once i had the phone out. Quite an amazing place. At a poet's house? Sounds interesting.
