This was such a fun photo to set up, taken by Thomas Reiter through a sleep station window on Mir. The sun was so bright we were all squinting like crazy. But I love how it shows the texture of the Shuttle's rough, protective hide, and the glimpse of humanity (and my moustache) against the universe.

Take a look at this... Remarkable "warmth" last month across both polar regions when visualizing temperature departures by latitude. The x-axis is quite stretched out here compared to my usual monthly update of this graphic.

Red tussock (Chionochloa rubra) is flowering in the garden now. One floret in this spikelet is open, presenting two fluffy stigmas, one on each side of the spikelet, and three dangling stamens. #bloomscrolling 🇳🇿🌱

But can we stop describing murderers as “nice quiet family guys”
His family describe Dean Field as a quiet family man who tried to fix everything — now Sanson mourns and wonders what went wrong.

We'll take good care of it and send it back in the new year.
The sun just set in Utqiaġvik, Alaska, for the season (71.29°N). It will rise again in 66 days (January 23rd). Good night. 🥱 @alaskawx.bsky.social

Hey peeps! It's been 2 weeks since I launched my crowdfunding campaign, and your support and generosity have blown me away. You folks rock! But with 3 research grant rejections this month & 2 weeks left to go I’ve decided to set a new stretch goal & pivot… 1/8

The National Party collapsed the EV import market by cancelling the Clean Car Discount and now finds that there aren't enough EVs being imported to meet demand.
Imagine that.
