So interesting 💭 "Relighting 'Nighthawks' - bit.studio reimagines Edward Hopper's classic artwork, turning the most crucial element, the 'light,' into something you can actually control!" The exhibit is held at the bit.studio gallery on the 3rd floor, Slowcombo building in Samyan, Bangkok. #art

A lovely little bit of physics that you might have spotted if you ever play with a slinky. We should all play more, because we should all embrace our curiosity. And finding out how the physical world works is fun!

Ridders, jonkvrouwen en de liefde

Een nieuwe aflevering van de reeks Neerlandistiek voor kinderen tussen 10 en 14 uur Daar kom je aan! Je bent een ridder, met alles wat erbij hoort: een harnas, een paard en een zwaard. Dat je kunt vechten, kan iedereen van op afstand zien. Maar kun je ook een gedicht schrijven? In de twaalfde eeuw, zo'n negenhonderd jaar geleden, was dat voor sommige mensen een gewichtige vraag.

As long expected. It’s climate science 101. The vapor thirst of the atmosphere increases exponentially with temperature. A law of physics known since the early 19th C (Clausius–Clapeyron law). It causes more drought even if rainfall doesn’t decline. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Analysis shows how heatwaves are making atmosphere thirstier, damaging water supplies, food production and power generation

Holy shit, we're actually getting there. "UCLA researchers develop low-cost blood test to detect multiple cancers and other diseases from a single sample [—] In tests, MethylScan detected about 63% of cancers across all stages and roughly 55% of early-stage cancers." (from April) #ShareGoodNewsToo

UCLA researchers develop low-cost blood test to detect multiple cancers and other diseases from a single sample

The test could offer a more affordable approach to early disease detection.

De wetenschap krijgt eindelijk vat op alvleesklierkanker: vaccin veroorzaakt veelbelovende afweerreactie

Alvleesklierkanker behoort tot de dodelijkste vormen van kanker, vooral omdat de ziekte vaak pas in een laat stadium wordt ontdekt. Preventie is dan ook van levensbelang en daar hebben Amerikaanse onderzoekers nu een belangrijke stap in gezet. Een experimenteel vaccin dat zich richt op veelvoorkomende genetische mutaties, wist bij mensen met een sterk verhoogd risico […] Meer wetenschap? Lees de nieuwste artikelen op Scientias.nl .

With millions more satellites 🛰️ launched into space, how will this affect all life, and not just humans, on Earth when the night sky becomes permanently light?

This is an accumulation of exposures showing the number of satellites across the Milky Way during 35 minutes, from 12:28 am to 1:03 am on June 14, 2026. The field of view here is 54º by 37º, framing the Summer Triangle stars. Details in Alt Text.

And yes, most of the satellite trails are from SpaceX Starlink satellites as most of the satellites now in orbit are Starlinks. And most seen here are following similar parallel paths as Starlinks sets do. The fast lens and long exposures I used here do make satellites visible that were too faint to see with the unaided eye, just as fainter stars than your eye can see are recorded. Nevertheless, this shows just how many satellites are now passing through any field of view, be it naked eye, camera lens, or telescope. For this I stacked just 300 frames out of 1200 I shot this night over 2h30m. Stacking more frames only produced a dense, chaotic mess, with so many satellite trails the stars were hidden behind a wall of bright streaks. Technical: This is a stack of 300 frames, stacked using the program StarStax using the Lighten blend mode, to add the satellite trails rather than average them out. Each exposure was 6 seconds at f/1.2 with the Viltrox 35mm LAB lens on the Nikon Z8 at ISO 1600. (StarStax deleted the camera metadata from the files.) There was an interval of 1 second between exposures, thus the gaps in all the trails. The camera was on a tracker following the turning sky, so the stars stay fixed on the frame with minimal trailing, and the satellites streak against the point-like stars.
