🐴 #LostBones 🐘🦥🐪 For #FossilFriday, a new series: 12 horse teeth from across Minnesota, each one headed for radiocarbon dating to finally pin down when these animals moved across the state’s post glacial landscape.

Specimen #1 comes from a private collection near Little Sauk, Minnesota — a single horse tooth pulled from a skull found in the black marl of the Sauk River.

How do they fit into the lives or paleo-Minnesotans?

Es begann mit einer Idee: Können Pflanzen als „lebende Umweltsensoren“ dienen?
80 Millionen Datenpunkte später ist klar: Ja. Die neue Studie unserer Arbeitsgruppe zeigt, dass Beobachtungen – v.a. aus Flora Incognita – detaillierte Klima- und Bodenbedingungen in 326 europ. Städten widerspiegeln.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
NO OCCULTATION of alpha2 Lib by asteroid (362) Havnia on 2026 Jan 16.

The calculated star position used for the prediction misses proper motion values. New prediction shows that the shadow passes north of the Earth by 0.2 Earth radii.

The Call for Observations will be removed.

Sorry about that. 😕
But better to know in advance.

Logging breaches as a "business model” ?

"Former NSW Labor minister condemns Forestry Corporation after greater glider ‘den trees’ found at planned logging site."

"Bob Debus says operations at Glenbog state forest on south coast show native forest logging is untenable." “Forestry Corp is in breach of its own regulations so frequently that the practice is effectively part of its business model."

"A string of convictions recorded by the government-owned agency last year prompted a former magistrate to compare the forestry corporation to a “criminal organisation”, an accusation the NSWFC said at the time was “ridiculous”."

“Native forestry operations run at a permanent loss so in reality, taxpayers are paying the fines when they are prosecuted.”

GAIAMOONS has provided map with the extended range for the chase for the suspected satellite.

gaiamoons.imcce.fr/occ.php?p=9

GAIAMOONS is a collaboration between Paris Observatory - IMCCE, Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur - LAGRANGE and Poznan University. It aims to observe and characterise binary asteroids using stellar occultations.

Please observe!

#astronomy #space #citizenscience #asteroid #occultation

The red lines mark the area where the satellite can be at the time of occultation, which is the largest acceptable estimated separation limit. Map provided by GAIAMOONS.

Suspected binary asteroid (362) Havnia will occult 2.7 mag star alpha2 Lib during dawn on 2026 Jan 16 with a maximum duration of 3.5 s. The event will happen around 6:08 UT and will be observable from Norway, Sweden, Lithuania and Poland. Stations more to the west have a better chance, the sky will be darker. An orange filter can be useful to enhance contrast during dawn.

Good luck for your observation!

🌊 Measurements of #CO2 dissolved in the ocean surface are essential to quantify the marine #carbon sink, but data is scarce.
⛵️ #MPIM researcher Jacqueline Behncke et al. investigated if measurements taken on board sailing boats can fill in the blank spots. They found that with existing data, the marine carbon sink is underestimated, but 2 more circumnavigations already improve the estimate. 📖 science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv

Greetings!

The Gender Census is an annual English language survey of everyone internationally whose experience of their gender (or lack thereof) doesn't fit the male/female binary.

It's been going for over 10 years, run by an enthusiastic amateur volunteer, and these days it gets over 40,000 responses per annual survey. All results are written up into a report and published at gendercensus.com.
