Amazing Fata Morgana at Mount Scott In Oklahoma Jan 17, 2023 Now that’s cool! This was from Sky 5 five days ago... KOCO Sky 5 Pilot Chase Rutledge and KOCO First Alert Storm Chaser Mark Fryklund were flying in Sky 5 and noticed something strange as they looked toward Mt. Scott. This is an optical illusion called Fata Morgana. Sailors often see these mirages, but sometimes you can see them over land too. They occur when layers of hot and cold temperatures are stacked on top of one another (we call them inversions) and an atmospheric duct forms that bend the sunlight creating this optical illusion.

A mysterious brain network may underlie many psychiatric disorders By Nicoletta Lanese published 4 days ago Researchers discovered that six psychiatric disorders seemed linked to the same underlying brain wiring. Scientists uncovered a previously unknown brain circuit that seems linked to multiple psychiatric disorders.(Image credit: John M Lund Photography Inc via Getty Images) Scientists have uncovered a mysterious network of brain connections that is linked to several psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This shared brain circuitry could help reveal why many patients who are diagnosed with one psychiatric illness also meet the criteria for a second. "Half of the people we treat meet criteria for more than one disorder," Dr. Joseph Taylor, clinical director of transcranial magnetic stimulation at the Brigham and Women's Hospital's Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics in Boston and first author of a study describing the discovery, told Live Science. The study, published Thursday (Jan. 12) in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, supports the idea that disorders that often occur together may stem from the same neurobiological roots. In total, the study identified six disorders — schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, addiction, OCD and anxiety — that share this underlying circuitry, and "we suspect that other psychiatric disorders may also be linked to the same network," said Taylor, who is also an associate psychiatrist at Brigham and Women's and an instructor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. The newfound circuit is not one that's previously been identified or named by scientists, such as the so-called default mode network and salience network. Some "nodes" in the circuit have been linked to psychiatric disorders in the past, while others have not and are instead linked to key aspects of cognitive function, like selective attention and sensory processing, Taylor said. Unraveling how the circuit works could clarify how deficits in these functions might factor into various psychiatric illnesses and potentially make them likely to occur together. ...

French scientists divert lightning strikes using a weather-controlling super laser Jan 17, 2023 The laser is so powerful it can divert lightning (Picture: SWNS) Scientists in France have created a way to divert lightning strikes using a weather-controlling super laser. Researchers with the Polytechnic Institute of Paris guided the strikes from thunderclouds to places where they don’t cause damage. The team says the new technique could save power stations, airports, launchpads, and other buildings from disaster. The system creates a virtual lightning rod, metal conductors that intercept flashes and guide their currents into the ground. “The findings extend the current understanding of laser physics in the atmosphere and may aid in the development of novel lightning protection strategies,” says corresponding author Dr. Aurelien Houard, according to a statement from SWNS. The five-ton device is about the size of a large car and fires up to a thousand pulses per second. The scientists installed it near a telecommunications tower in the Swiss Alps – which is struck by lightning around 100 times a year.

I got COVID19 And it is YOUR fault by Vinay Prasad Dec 22, 2022 Dear Readers, After 3 years of faithfully covering COVID 19 from my side of a zoom meeting, having done everything right, recently, the worst news imaginable struck. (See picture). I got COVID! But most importantly, here is what I want you to know: it is entirely your fault! How did I get COVID? I got it from a MAGA republican! I was minding my own business at a holiday party, wearing a tight-fitting n95 and googles, as I have done for 2 years, and will continue for 45 more, when a MAGA republican approached me with drinks. I could tell he was MAGA because he hadn’t laminated his vaccine card and tied it to a string to wear around his neck. “Want a drink?” “No I can’t” I mumbled through my mask “Why are you wearing a mask?” he asked “Because I voted for Biden,” I replied “What’s that underneath it” he asked “That’s a cloth mask to keep my mask clean” I said “Where is your face-shield?” he asked “Right here,” I said reaching upwards, but nothing was there. Waves of panic began to fill my chest, where had it gone?”... ... “Its here if you want one,”... ... MORE: https://vinayprasadmdmph.substack.com/p/i-got-covid19

A group of flamingos is called a flamboyance. They form very strong friendships & avoid ones they dislike. The oldest flamingo on record was 83 years old. There are 6 extant species. This is an American flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) The last wave goodbye. They spend their lives peacefully dispersing tree and flower seeds. But 98% of their forest was destroyed for raising cattle, so we can soon include the extinction of the Brown spider monkeys of Venezuela in the price of beef.

New Horizons Jan 14, 2016 Possible Ice Volcano on Pluto Has the ‘Wright Stuff’ Wright Mons in Color. This composite image of a possible ice volcano on Pluto includes pictures taken by the New Horizons spacecraft’s Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) on July 14, 2015, from a range of about 30,000 miles (48,000 kilometers), showing features as small as 1,500 feet (450 meters) across. Sprinkled across the LORRI mosaic is enhanced color data from the Ralph/Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC), from a range of 21,000 miles (34,000 kilometers) and at a resolution of about 2,100 feet (650 meters) per pixel. The entire scene is 140 miles (230 kilometers) across. Credits: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI Scientists with NASA’s New Horizons mission have assembled this highest-resolution color view of one of two potential cryovolcanoes spotted on the surface of Pluto by the New Horizons spacecraft in July 2015. This feature, known as Wright Mons, was informally named by the New Horizons team in honor of the Wright brothers. At about 90 miles (150 kilometers) across and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) high, this feature is enormous. If it is in fact a volcano, as suspected, it would be the largest such feature discovered in the outer solar system. Mission scientists are intrigued by the sparse distribution of red material in the image and wonder why it is not more widespread. Also perplexing is that there is only one identified impact crater on Wright Mons itself, telling scientists that the surface (as well as some of the crust underneath) was created relatively recently. This is turn may indicate that Wright Mons was volcanically active late in Pluto’s history. Here: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/possible-ice-volcano-on-pluto-has-the-wright-stuff

This painting of Pluto by the British artist David Hardy shows a world of almost unimaginable loneliness.

Latest in space @latestinspace Jan 15 NASA's New Horizons spacecraft flying over mountains on Pluto - A must see, incredible! and Pluto Mountains Photo: ________________________________________________________________________ JULY 17, 2017 Video: Flyover of Pluto's majestic mountains and icy plains by Bill Keeter, NASA In July 2015, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft sent home the first close-up pictures of Pluto and its moons – amazing imagery that inspired many to wonder what a flight over the distant worlds' icy terrain might be like. Wonder no more. Using actual New Horizons data and digital elevation models of Pluto and its largest moon Charon, mission scientists have created flyover movies that offer spectacular new perspectives of the many unusual features that were discovered and which have reshaped our views of the Pluto system – from a vantage point even closer than the spacecraft itself. This dramatic Pluto flyover begins over the highlands to the southwest of the great expanse of nitrogen ice plain informally named Sputnik Planitia. The viewer first passes over the western margin of Sputnik, where it borders the dark, cratered terrain of Cthulhu Macula, with the blocky mountain ranges located within the plains seen on the right. The tour moves north past the rugged and fractured highlands of Voyager Terra and then turns southward over Pioneer Terra—which exhibits deep and wide pits—before concluding over the bladed terrain of Tartarus Dorsa in the far east of the encounter hemisphere. The equally exciting flight over Charon begins high over the hemisphere New Horizons saw on its closest approach, then descends over the deep, wide canyon of Serenity Chasma. The view moves north, passing over Dorothy Gale crater and the dark polar hood of Mordor Macula. The flight then turns south, covering the northern terrain of Oz Terra before ending over the relatively flat equatorial plains of Vulcan Planum and the "moated mountains" of Clarke Montes. New Horizons Pluto flyover.

Digital mapping and rendering were performed by Paul Schenk and John Blackwell of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston. All feature names in the Pluto system are informal. Provided by NASA.
