Neutrinos aren’t tunneling
they just have very little business with other matter
Atomic nuclei in stellar cores are quantum tunneling when they overcome the coulomb barrier
It’s different!

Guess who's winning the war? "The world’s top 100 oil and gas companies banked more than $30m every hour in unearned profit in the first month of the US-Israeli war in Iran..."
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
Oh:
A 2022 study found that children in households that used voice commands with tools like Siri and Alexa became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting obedience, especially from anyone whose voice resembled the default-female electronic voices.

Days after the president blasted the Pope as “weak on Crime,” his own DOJ moved to dismiss criminal cases against individuals convicted of conspiring to use force to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.

🏺 Q for researchers - Looking for the oldest *deep cave* access in H sapiens; so far, I'm finding much older activity in #Neanderthals (300 m deep at +170,000 ka at Bruniquel, and up to 500m in another undated site), but willing to be proven wrong...

Artemis II Integrity Splashdown!!!
The current location of Artemis II (at about 4:15pm) is in red, and we see it's trajectory to Earth, visualized in WorldWideTelescope
an approximate re-entry location for Artemis II
The 🌕 🚀 Artemis II astronauts 👩🚀👩🚀👩🚀👩🚀 are on their way back 🌎!!
Keep exploring ! projects.cosmicds.cfa.harvard.edu/artemis-ii/
The Artemis II trajectory in an Earth-centered frame. It makes a figure-8 like shape, with a tight turn around the Moon
The Artemis II trajectory in an Moon-centered frame. It makes a squiggly line, but unlike the other representation, this show a calm turn, a nudge from the moon returning the astronauts back to Earth
We are used to seeing the #Artemis II path in an 🌎-centered reference frame, which makes it look like make a hairpin turn at the moon!
But in a 🌘-centered frame, we see it's more of a nudge, pulling the astronauts back to 🌎! #astronomy #moon

Wow, great news: the CDC has a study proving COVID vaccines slashed hospitalizations by 55%. Bad news: RFK Jr.’s team killed it before publication because facts were inconvenient. They are literally hiding data that could save your life.

Yeah, it's a great question. you can sort of see it in the attached image.
It's not an option in the interactive because the engine behind this, WorldWideTelesope, does not currently allow free-rotation so you cannot get the top down view one would want.

A high-quality digital interface for an interactive educational tool titled "The Sun's Seasonal Journey," presented by Cosmic Data Stories and WorldWide Telescope.
Hello, sunshine! Today is the Vernal Equinox, the spring's official astronomical start.
Once you’ve enjoyed a moment of sunshine today, head over to our Seasons Data Story to explore the science of the sun’s position all year long. Check it out: projects.cosmicds.cfa.harvard.edu/seasons/
That is a perfect analogy!

We are used to seeing the #Artemis II path in an Earth-centered frame of reference, which makes it appear like they fly to the moon and make a hairpin turn back!
If we look at the a Moon-centered frame, we see that it's not a hairpin turn, but more of a nudge, pulling the astronauts back to earth!

As promised, we’ve created a policy document outlining our thoughts on AI and agentic coding (AI for software development). We’re releasing a vote later this week for Blacksky community members to offer their feedback. We look forward to hearing from you all.
thought i would try my hand at this view*🙃 and it's pretty ok.
