Here is another stunning pic of Comet 12P/Pons–Brooks, taken by Fritz Helmut Hemmerich on April 9.

Also shown below is the image taken by Dan Bartlett on March 30, to help see how the comet shape has evolved over the past 10 days as it approaches the Sun.

Comet 12P/Pons–Brooks is very low in the evening sky now as it approaches perihelion, which will occur on April 21.

Please see the rest of this thread for additional info on this comet.

If you're an early career scientist working in the polar regions, let me recommend that you join #APECS (Association of Polar Early Career Scientists) - I had an illuminating chat with the #APECSdenmark team this morning - we'll be co-organising some activities with @OceanIceEU + perhaps also @PolarRES later this year at the #EuropeanPolarScienceWeek24 in Copenhagen AND at the Nordic Meteorological Meeting in August #NMM24

The generic name of these trays is wája, many things could be said about them.They're a cultural element derived from a deep capacity for contemplation of non-human #Others. This is the pattern for kwekwe, the native name of Dendrobates leucomelas (I put below a photo I took), also called in Spanish arrowhead little #frog (“punta de flecha”), since it's used as an ingredient in the poison for hunting. Some alternative names may also be kawau, sinyawe and tubudu, which are other frogs.

He creado un recopilatorio de recursos si os interesa crear una #websencilla.

https://websencilla.editora.info/

Son enlaces que se han ido comentando en este grupo de XMPP:

websencilla@room.peeko.chat

Simplemente he puesto un poco de orden para que no se pierda toda la información tan valiosa que se está compartiendo en el chat. Por cierto, hay gente muy maja ahí, así que os invito a uniros al grupo.

Si aún no tenéis cuenta de XMPP, en Suchat la creáis en 1 minuto.

Even if you have been actively working to undermine this network by promoting Bluesky or Nostr, the Fediverse has a place for you. There is so much work still to be done, and we'd all appreciate your help.

Plantar árboles donde nunca han existido no va a solucionar el #CambioClimatico 🌲🌳

Enésima evidencia y mensaje para las grandes corporaciones que "compensan" emisiones a base de plantar árboles.

Hay que cortar de raíz, los #ecosistemas no son sumas y restas de emisiones.

Welcome,

If you are seeing this then that means a platform owned by climate workers has reached you in the ether. Our purpose is to own the medium so that we are in control of the message. To do that, this site will experiment with various UX that aims to surface and elevate authoritative and equitable conversations in the fediverse. Part of the beauty of the fediverse is the ecosystem effect of the ActivityPub protocol. This not only opens us to a wider audience but enables us to do small & rapid experiments.

If you are interested in joining, we would love to add your participation in our efforts. Sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1BA6VrsmcNvW-A8k7EbYkge7jUlVHL9qfuUJNJYiWl8w

How much would it take to offset your lifetime emissions?

I’ll let you in on a secret: I love sporadically updated weblogs. I subscribe to over 1200 feeds and most of them are sporadic or even technically “inactive”. Months often pass between updates

It means that every post published was important to the writer

Back in the days of snail mail, letters that began with “It’s been a while since I last wrote to you” were the ones people cherished the most

You don’t need to post every day or even every week to have a blog that matters

Nos preocupa fuertemente los gastos de energía y agua por comportamientos digitales que antes no tenían tanta huella ambiental.

Por ejemplo, cuando la gente en vez de buscar en Google intenta buscar esa información (generalmente erronea) en ChatGPT.

- Una búsqueda en Google : 0.3 Wh
- Una búsqueda en ChatGPT: 2.9 Wh.

Teniendo en cuenta las 9 billones de búsquedas diarias esto supondría 10 TWh de energía adicional cada año.
