Nobska Light, Woods Hole, MA: 8/21/2024. View of the Vineyard Sound from one of the lighthouse’s porthole windows.

View through a round lighthouse porthole window set in a thick wall, looking out at a calm ocean under a clear sky during sunset. The horizon is tinged with soft pastel colors, and the foreground shows a strip of green trees and shrubs along a gently curving path near the rocky shoreline. The porthole frame and bolts are visible, adding a sense of enclosure and perspective.

Nobska Light, Woods Hole, MA: 8/21/2024. Photos of the lighthouse interior that I took during the twilight tour that I enjoyed last summer.

Photo 1: The spiral staircase leading up to the lantern room.
Photo 2: View from the top. Note the lighthouse-shaped finial.
Photo 3: The fourth-order Fresnel lens.

A dramatic upward view of a spiral staircase inside a brick lighthouse tower. The metal steps curve tightly around the cylindrical brick walls, leading up to a circular ceiling with a central support structure. A single window on the left lets in natural light, casting a soft glow on the warm red bricks and metal railings. The perspective emphasizes the staircase’s elegant, winding form as it disappears into the upper levels.

A scenic coastal view at sunset, captured from a high vantage point behind a black metal railing. Below, a charming shingled house with a steep red roof and bright red door is bathed in warm golden light. A paved walkway leads to the entrance, with a black metal handrail guiding the way. Beyond the house, a curving shoreline with a sandy beach and scattered rocks stretches along the calm blue ocean. A winding road follows the coastline, passing by trees, parked cars, and a few houses nestled in the lush green landscape.

Close-up of a lighthouse Fresnel lens encasing a small, lit bulb. The lens, made of concentric glass rings and framed by black metal, magnifies the flame’s glow. Sunlight from a window behind reflects on the lens and the ocean beyond, casting warm golden hues across the scene. The sea and coastline are visible through the glass windows of the lighthouse.

Nobska Light, Woods Hole, MA: 8/21/2024. I’ve visited Nobska many times, but this was the first time I had the chance to climb it. This was a “twilight tour” of the lighthouse, and our tour guide was great: very friendly and informative. This was also the first time I was able to visit the Keeper’s House, which was recently renovated and looks fantastic.

A classic white lighthouse with a black lantern room stands on a grassy hill at dusk, bathed in soft pink and blue hues from the fading sunlight. To the left, an American flag flutters on a tall flagpole beside a charming shingled house with a red roof and a warmly lit doorway. Two people in jackets stand near the house, adding a human element to the peaceful coastal scene. In the background, the ocean stretches toward the horizon, meeting the twilight sky in a gradient of deep blues and purples.

$1 billion dollars, over 5 years, to slow global warming. Pretty cool to see my question asked and answered: https://youtu.be/fBNAqtT55Y0?si=z2hZKwHrr9aCmPnp

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1985, Dr #BobBallard of #WoodsHole and his team located the wreck of RMS #Titanic, 3800 metres below the surface, and over a dozen miles from where she was expected to be. This was huge for me, and I devoured the images and news that poured in about it.

.> Because the melted nuclear cores (corium) of reactors 1, 2 & 3 at Fukushima Dai'ichi are somewhere underneath the three reactor buildings, having melted out, workers at TEPCO have been pouring cold water on the corium since the meltdowns to cool the corium. This is both to prevent spontaneous fissioning, and also to carry heat away from the mess so that it may eventually be removed sometime later in this century (the melted core of Chernobyl is still underneath the reactor, almost 40 years later, and still has not schedule for removal). All of the water used to cool the corium is then pumped into holding tanks on the grounds of the Fukushima site. Also, groundwater flows through the basements that hold the corium, and that adds to the water being pumped out....

.> Because the dumping of the tanks is a political negative for the government of Japan, a pipeline is being built so that the water can simply be dumped via underground pipe, and the theatrics of dumping the tanks into the ocean can be avoided in the future. A political solution to a problem with few mechanical solutions...

.> What else can be done? As Ken Buesseler of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has said, the water could be moved to much larger tanks and held for up to a century, which would facilitate some further decay of the radioactivity of particles before they are released. However, this would be seen as a political negative as it would fill parts of Japan up with large holding tanks for a century, and remind everyone about the problem.
