Webb’s latest image is the clearest look at Neptune’s rings in 30+ years, and our first time seeing them in infrared light. Take in Webb’s ghostly, ethereal views of the planet and its dust bands, rings and moons. (Some of these rings have not been detected since Voyager 2 flew by in 1989!)

flamingos flying over tanzania’s lake natron, a salt lake which is home to three quarters of the world’s three million lesser flamingos, as well as toxic multicoloured extremophile cyanobacteria that thrive in water so hypersaline it would strip away human skin. for the flamingos, however, the tough skin and scales on their legs prevents burning, leaving them uniquely free to drink from the near boiling freshwater found from springs and geysers at the lake’s edges.  (x, x, x, x, x)

When I was in graduate school, I worked in a facility known as the High-Speed Wind Tunnel Lab. We were located next door to the Low-Speed Wind Tunnel, and every few months we’d receive a phone call asking whether we could film someone in the high-speed wind tunnel. This was impossible for several reasons – the size of human beings and the necessity of drawing the hypersonic tunnels down to vacuum-like pressures before initiating flow being only two of them – but what it really did was highlight the difference in definitions. 

What these (usually) weather forecasters wanted was to simulate hurricane force winds on a human being. And to an aerodynamicist, that hundred mile-an-hour flow is still low-speed. Because we’re comparing it to the speed of sound, not the normal range of wind speeds a human experiences. That said, watching humans struggle inside a wind tunnel is always entertaining. 

As you can see from the Slow Mo Guys here, counteracting the lift and drag forces from these wind speeds is tough. On the bottom left, Dan has managed to balance his weight and the drag forces to hold himself in a virtual chair. Meanwhile, Gav’s attempt to jump forward against the wind just pushes him backward as his lab coat parachutes behind him. (Image and video credit: The Slow Mo Guys)

Flooded Cromlech at Parc Glynllifon, North Wales, 16.2.18.

It is uncertain whether this cromlech was displaced to suit the requirements of the nearby estate and large house. The area is littered with similar dolmens and we know only a little of the history of this particular site.
