THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent cattle I have met on walks.

You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.
A cow who is feeling happy because I have taken the photo it will use for the cover of its psychedelic debut LP which it feels confident will get a five out of five star rating in Rolling Stone magazine.

Magnifique impact de météoroïde filmé il y a 1 jour sur la surface lunaire, près de Bradley Valley, à l'ouest de Hadley Valley (site d'atterrissage d'Apollo 15).

Comme la Lune n'a pas d'atmosphère, tout ce qui y tombe atteint le sol, avec des vitesse de l'ordre du kilomètre par seconde !

A selection of Roman glassware, mostly from the eastern provinces & made 1600-2000 years ago - and a clear demonstration of how much the Romans like a bit of colour in their homes!

Clean Energy accounted for all electricity growth this year. Gas/Coal were basically a wash and will be for years to come for electricity generation.

We need to ramp up batteries because they are 90% cheaper than distribution grid upgrades which is the main reason we have rate increases.

NEW | No growth for fossil fuels in global electricity generation expected in 2025 🔥❌

Ember forecasts no increase in fossil generation as wind and solar are growing fast enough to meet all new electricity demand.

We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.

Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

Guten Morgen zusammen - wie üblich mit einem aktuellen Bild der Sonne via Satellit GOES-19. Credit: NOAA
Eine spektakulär schöne Ansicht der Sonne. Dabei ist der überwiegende Teil der Oberfläche in warm wirkende orangefarbene bis rote Töne getaucht. Von links unten nach rechts oben schlängelt sich eine Reihe von dicht benachbarten Aktiven Regionen, die etwas heller und eher goldgelb aussehen - mit ebenso eingefärbten Strahlen, die von diesen Gebieten in die Umgebung ausgehen. Manchmal bilden die Strahlen sternförmige Strukturen in mehrere Richtungen zeigend, manchmal verlaufen sie in Bogenform, und immer sind sie filigran wie dünne Fäden dargestellt. Links am Rand zwei hellere Bereiche, von denen es diffus ins All leuchtet: ein Saum aus Licht, der mit zunehmender Entfernung schwächer wird und sich schließlich in der Schwärze des Alls verliert.

Americans are 'somber', while Brits are 'sombre'.
Americans have 'fiber', while Brits have 'fibre'.
Americans go to the 'theater', while Brits attend the 'theatre'.

The -er v. -re difference stems from a more 'conservative' approach to French borrow words.

Let's take "somber"...

Guten Morgen zusammen - wie gewohnt mit einem aktuellen Bild der Sonne per Satellit GOES-19. Credit: NOAA
Die ganze erdzugewandte Seite der Sonne in gelber Farbe. Besonders auffällig sind zwei hell dargestellte Aktive Regionen ganz links am Rand. Gestern waren sie noch knapp hinter dem Horizont und verrieten sich nur an den weit ins All reichenden fächerartigen Strahlen. Heute sind sie infolge der Rotation der Sonne um die eigene Achse als leuchtende Gebiete auf der ansonsten etwas dunkleren Oberfläche zu erkennen.
