Explanation:
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, planet Earth lies on the horizon. in this stack of panoramic composite images. In a monthly time series arranged vertically top to bottom the ambitious photographic project follows the annual north-south swing of sunrise points, from June solstice to December solstice and back again. It also follows the corresponding, but definitely harder to track, Full Moon rise. Of course, the north-south swing of moonrise runs opposite sunrise along the horizon. But these rising Full Moons also span a wider range on the horizon than the sunrises. That's because the well-planned project (as shown in this video !>>) covers the period June 2024 to June 2025, centered on a major lunar standstill. Major lunar standstills represent extremes in the north-south range of moonrise driven by the 18.6 year precession period of the lunar orbit.

🎠🏀 A playground merry-go-round becomes a #physics lab in this National Geographic demonstration of the Coriolis Effect.

Four participants test what happens when you throw a ball straight across a spinning platform. The results explain why air currents and ocean currents curve as they travel around our rotating planet.

Is Earth sentient? In this post, I explore this question by revisiting a well known theory and playfully utilizing a childhood carton to express my perspective.

The fascinating history of dinosaurs: a journey through time 🦕

The history of dinosaurs is one of the most impressive and enigmatic chapters in the history of the earth. For millions of years, these prehistoric creatures dominated the earth and left behind traces that still fascinate researchers and enthusiasts alike. They were not only the rulers of their time, but also key players in the evolution of life on our planet.

NGC 3521: #Galaxy in a Bubble

Spiral galaxy NGC 3521, in constellation Leo, is visible in small telescopes 35 million light-years away. It features irregular arms with star-forming regions and is surrounded by tidal debris from past galactic mergers.
