Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 April 29 Saturn's Rings Appear to Disappear Image Credit & Copyright: Natan Fontes Explanation: Where are Saturn's ears? Galileo is credited, in 1610, as the first person to see Saturn's rings. Testing out Lipperhey's recently co-invented telescope, Galileo did not know what they were and so called them "ears". The mystery deepened in 1612, when Saturn's ears mysteriously disappeared. Today we know exactly what happened: from the perspective of the Earth, Saturn's rings had become too thin to see. The same drama plays out every 15 years because Saturn, like Earth, undergoes tilt-driven seasons. This means that as Saturn goes around the Sun, its equator and rings can tilt noticeably toward the Sun and inner Solar System, making them easily visible, but from other orbital locations will appear almost not at all. The featured picture from Brasilia, Brazil shows a modern version of this sequence: the top ring-dominated image was taken in 2020, while the bottom ring-obscure image taken earlier in 2025.

While oral immunotherapy has previously been successful in infants and children, this is the first study to provide evidence that adults can also benefit from the medical treatment — and it nods to a bright future for treating food allergies more broadly. ? “Up until 15 years ago we never offered anything other than complete avoidance and carry your epinephrine,” Robert Wood, the director of pediatric allergy and immunology at Johns Hopkins University, told The Guardian. “Now we have options.” ? ?These new options come at a vital time, as food allergies have surged at unprecedented levels around the world and can take a profound toll. “Living with peanut allergy is a huge burden due to the need for constant vigilance and the risk of accidental exposures,” lead study author Hannah Hunter said in a statement. “Everyday situations such as eating in restaurants and social events are anxiety provoking and our patients tell us that the condition also affects travel choices and career options.” ? For Chris Brookes-Smith, one of the trial participants, the results are nothing short of life-altering. “All of my life I had associated the taste and smell of peanuts with fear and death,” he said, adding: “Before, a tiny mistake could have life-threatening impac

Wordsmith.orgThe magic of words MooT, MetaMooT, and UltiMooT - the semantics & etymology trilogy The world's toughest language game gets even tougher. mootgame.com How to sponsor? Apr 29, 2025 This week’s theme Words that aren’t what they appear to be This week’s words windlass monopolylogue A Christmas Carol Broadway Poster Watch a preview (4 min) Image: Wikimedia A.Word.A.Day with Anu Garg monopolylogue PRONUNCIATION: (mon-uh-POL-i-log) MEANING: noun: A performance in which one person plays multiple characters, typically all of them. ETYMOLOGY: From mono- (one) + poly- (many) + -logue (talk). Earliest documented use: 1819. NOTES: Despite what the name might suggest, a monopolylogue is not an economics lecture. It’s theatrical multitasking: one actor, many hats -- sometimes literally. I say we extend the word to a scenario when someone monopolizes a conversation. Not a dialogue any more. Linguistic fun fact: the poly in monopolylogue comes from the Greek for “many”, whereas in monopoly it comes from the Greek for “selling”. So while one is about many voices, the other is about one seller. Ironically, both can leave the audience with no choice. The word was coined in reference to British actor Charles Mathews, whose solo show At Home had him playing all the parts. A kind of one-man flash mob. Charles Dickens followed suit and performed monopolylogues of his own work to adoring crowds in the UK and the US. In recent memory, Patrick Stewart boldly went where few thespians have gone before, performing all 40+ characters in A Christmas Carol. Tiny Tim, Scrooge, the ghosts -- he was all of them. Now that is a true Federation of personalities. USAGE: “Viewing the performance as a monopolylogue shows us the characters of the protective mother, the rebellious child, the crazy grandparent, and then the slippage of these identities into the possible universal experience of fear and loss.” Veronica Baxter; “Intimate Exposure” in Forays Into Contemporary South African Theatre (Marc and Jessica Maufort, eds.); Brill; 2020. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: This world is divided roughly into three kinds of nations: those that spend lots of money to keep their weight down; those whose people eat to live; and those whose people don't know where their next meal is coming from. -David S.

By the end of the round's 20 performances, only eight artists will remain in the competition. Mega Mentors Sheryl Crow and LeAnn Rimes assisted Team Kelsea Ballerini and Team Adam Levine in the rehearsals leading up to the April 28 episode. Team Kelsea The five performances for Team Kelsea were Iris Herrera with "White Horse" by Chris Stapleton, Jaelen Johnston singing "If You're Reading This" by Tim McGraw, Alanna Lynise singing "Nobody Gets Me" by SZA, Tinika Wyatt with "I Can Only Imagine" by MercyMe, and Darius J on "Hey Ya!" by Outkast. During rehearsals with Sheryl, she was impressed by the "huge voice" of Iris and backed up Kelsea's advice for Jaelen to not rework the song too much because he wants the audience to recognize it. Sheryl recognized that Alanna "deeply feels" a song when she performs it, was in love with the "beautiful" song choice Tinika made to inspire people, and agreed that "comparison is the thief of joy" and that Darius should be proud of how unique he is. Following their stage performances, John Legend told Iris that her voice was "shredding," Adam appreciated that Jaelen is "different within the category [he] exists in," and John said that Alanna has the "right voice, right approach, and right musicality" to be a superstar. Michael Bublé thanked Tinika for her "rich and textured and gorgeous" performance and was excited and "inspired" by Darius for putting a retro spin on an unexpected contemporary song.Kelsea thought that Iris did "the best [she's] ever done it," loved that Jaelen "stayed true to the heart" of his song choice and thinks country music will be proud of him, and recognized and appreciated all of the hard work that Alanna put in to making her performance perfect. Kelsea was grateful that Tinika "used [her] space" on the stage to worship and said that she "blessed a lot of people" and said she's "like a moth to a flame" with Darius because he "makes everyone feel like a warm hug." Faced with the decision to choose only two to represent her team in the live shows, Kelsea picked Iris and Alanna to advance. Team Adam The five performances for Team Adam were Lucia Flores-Wiseman singing "In My Life," Conor James doing "Pink Pony Club" by Chappell Roan, Kolby Cordell with "Finesse" by Bruno Mars, Ethan Eckenroad on "The Night We Met" by Lord Huron, and Britton Moore with "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane. During the rehearsal sessions, LeAnn warned Lucia about the notes she was "squeezing" off in the vocal, coached Conor through moving lyrics around to find room for his breath, and wanted Kolby to be "playful and flirt" by mixing up the melody in new ways. LeAnn wanted Ethan to focus on projecting his voice by making sure his "voice is supported by air" and urged Britton to find the "dynamics" in his performance because he was "beautifully sitting in one area" otherwise. Following their stage performances, John noted that Lucia's gift was "shining through" her and said she "deserves to have a major career" and referenced Conor being in his element with his song choice because it felt like he was on stage in a musical. Michael called Kolby "one of the great contenders" that could win the whole show and Kelsea likened Ethan's voice to Benson Boone and Hozier in that rock Americana style. Michael loved Britton's interpretation of his song because it showed his range.Adam called Lucia's artistry "refreshingly yours" because she's a "singular" artist on her own level, thought Conor made a good choice with his song because he "established his own identity," and said that Kolby's performance "shot up" to the top of the pack in the whole competition. Adam acknowledged that Ethan chose a "simple" song but
