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 June 3 Rainbow Airglow over the Azores Image Credit & Copyright: Miguel Claro (TWAN); Rollover Annotation: Judy Schmidt Explanation: Why would the sky glow like a giant repeating rainbow? Airglow. Now, air glows all of the time, but it is usually hard to see. A disturbance however -- like an approaching storm -- may cause noticeable rippling in the Earth's atmosphere. These gravity waves are oscillations in air analogous to those created when a rock is thrown in calm water. The long-duration exposure nearly along the vertical walls of airglow likely made the undulating structure particularly visible. OK, but where do the colors originate? The deep red glow likely originates from OH molecules about 87 kilometers high, excited by ultraviolet light from the Sun. The orange and green airglow is likely caused by sodium and oxygen atoms slightly higher up. The featured image was captured during a climb up Mount Pico in the Azores of Portugal. Ground lights originate from the island of Faial in the Atlantic Ocean. A spectacular sky is visible through this banded airglow, with the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy running up the image center, and M31, the Andromeda Galaxy, visible near the top left.

Hope There are opportunities even in the most difficult moments. ~ Wangari Maathai In 2004, environmentalist and human rights activist Wangari Maathai achieved the historic distinction of becoming the first African woman to be honored with the Nobel Peace Prize. Maathai, who was also the first woman in East and Central Africa to earn a doctorate, received the award for her efforts in advancing democracy, peace, and sustainable development. In 1977, Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement, an environmental organization committed to supporting conservation and empowering communities. In her 2006 memoir, “Unbowed,” she reflects on the challenges of her life and how the rewarding path she ventured down after her divorce may not have been possible had she stayed married. Her poignant observation reminds us to look for the silver linings in the storm clouds of our own lives. Even during the most challenging times, there are still openings for positive redirection and personal growth to be found if we choose to look for them. Mary Live long and prosper

Tobacco use in France has been on the decline in recent years, with 16% of 17-year-olds reporting they smoke, down from 25% six years ago, NPR reports. ? France’s neighbor to the south, Spain, is taking similar anti-smoking measures, with plans to prohibit cigarettes and e-cigarettes in more public spaces, including outdoor bars, restaurant terraces, and university campuses.

ETYMOLOGY: After Keystone Cops/Kops, a series of comedy films starting with the 1912 silent film Hoffmeyer’s Legacy. The films were produced by the Keystone Studios. Earliest documented use: 1917. NOTES: The films featured incompetent policemen in ill-fitting uniforms. They often tripped over each other, got into frenetic chase scenes, and were involved in other chaotic farcical situations. Imagine if the Avengers had no training, no plan, and tripped over their own capes. Such is the energy of the Keystone Cops. USAGE: “The parents of Madeleine McCann have been declared suspects by police in Portugal. Many are now referring to the case as a travesty as these Keystone cops have now played a what appears to be desperate move to try and save face.” Lynda Johnson; Madeleine McCann Parents Shocked; The National Ledger (Phoenix, Arizona); Sep 8, 2007.

In 1983, the building was redone, revealing the seven-story Brutalist sanatorium that stands today—a relic of the area’s Soviet past. Historically, these Soviet spas were more like medical institutions, with local workers visiting to undergo all manner of treatments focused on relaxation and wellbeing—with a twist. The nearby natural springs supply hot water for the spa, but due to the breakdown of radioactive substances in soil and rocks, the water is naturally infused with the radioactive gas radon. Believed to have medicinal benefits in limited doses, the spa provides services such as a radioactive swimming pool and a “magical” radon steam room.

News Articles Shop Account Mighty Medusa At first glance, it would seem that Medusa, the mortal Gorgon with writhing snakes for hair, wide glaring eyes, and a protruding tongue, is the least likely of all characters in Greek mythology to be a fashion and cultural icon. Yet, the opposite is true. Although her appearance was said to be so hideous that she could turn men to stone, Medusa has been immortalized by artists throughout the ages with a countenance that remains ubiquitous. The Power of a Gaze In the ancient world, her unique visage-occasionally adorned with boar-like tusks, bronze hands, golden wings, and a gaping mouth-was frequently depicted on statuary, shields, roof tiles, entryways, and floor mosaics to scare away enemies. Due to her association with Athena, she even adorned the Sicilian flag, where she resides today. Currently, Medusa's distinctive likeness can be found on clothing, mugs, eyeglasses, hair accessories, and jewellery and serves as the emblematic icon for a major fashion house. The Myth and the Misjudgement Numerous artists, writers, and filmmakers have drawn inspiration from her fierce beauty and tragic story. As a symbol of empowerment and resistance, Medusa often embodies revolt, representing the struggle against oppression and the reclamation of the feminine narrative. Beset by misfortune and misinterpretation, Medusa is frequently scorned within Greek mythology but beneath her grotesque facade exists a complex narrative interlaced with themes of beauty, metamorphosis, and victimhood. Upon recounting, her story warrants compassion instead of contempt. This study examines the figure of Medusa and analyzes her complex myths and their reflection of Graeco-Roman civilization. While the myths offer insight into classical society, can they also offer clues about Medusa's pre-Greek origins? Cursed to a fate to which she fell victim, it should come as no surprise that Medusa is introduced into the canon of Greek literature by way of an insult. In Homer's Odyssey (8th-7th century BCE) the fearless Greek hero Odysseus himself was frightened: "pale fear seized me, lest august Persephone might send forth upon me from out the house of Hades the head of the Gorgon, that awful monster." This excerpt highlights the intense dread and aversion associated with Medusa, since even the mightiest of heroes can be paralyzed by her terrifying visage. Alas, poor Medusa, although the derisions begin with Homer, they do not end with him. Continue reading...
