Our walk had the potential to be a miserable soggy experience….. instead the clouds blew over and the sun came out 🥰

Feeling very fortunate to have seen this! Cameras enhance the colours but I was able to see with just my own eyes the subtle pinks and the stripes before I took the photo 🥰

i wonder if maybe we should stop writing post-apocalyptic fiction just until we're sure that's not where rich people are getting their ideas

Have we vastly underestimated the total number of people on Earth? A new way of estimating rural populations has found that we may be undercounting people who live in these areas, potentially inflating the global population beyond the official count of 8.2 billion - but not everyone agrees

Officially, there are around 8.2 billion people on the planet, but researchers who have come up with a new way of estimating rural populations say we may have vastly undercounted.

Another beautiful day.

Changeable weather on my walk today. Stayed dry for me thankfully.

Never forget that in 1861 Charles Darwin wrote in a letter to a friend…

“But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything"

…because this is my favorite reminder that we can do great things even if we don't always have great days

Physicists capture a strange fractal ‘butterfly’ for the first time The electrons in a twisted piece of graphene show a strange repeating pattern first predicted in 1976, but never directly measured until now

50 years after it was first dreamt up by Douglas Hofstadter, this fascinating fractal butterfly has been found in a real physical system (in graphene, no less)!

It's butterflies all the way down 🦋

I’ve been reading scifi for over 40 years. Back then I found it inspiring and longed for a future where those technologies existed. Nowadays I’m not so sure, and wish for a simpler life…

How a theory about maleness could explain the state of the world Feedback is intrigued by a theory arguing that when maleness is threatened, men overcompensate with increased support for war and homophobia – and interest in SUVs

A spiral galaxy seen face-on. Broken spiral arms made of blue patches of stars and thin strands of dark dust swirl around the galaxy’s centre, forming a broad, circular disc. An extended circular halo surrounds the disc. The centre is a brightly-glowing, stubby bar-shaped area in a pale yellow colour. A bright star in our own galaxy, with long cross-shaped diffraction spikes, is visible atop the distant galaxy.

📷 This NASA/ESA #Hubble Space Telescope image shows spiral galaxy NGC 4900 and a prominent star. They appear to be close to each other, but the star is in our own galaxy, a mere 7109 light-years away, and the galaxy is about 45 million light-years away 🔭
