Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 May 11 The Surface of Venus from Venera 14 Image Credit: Soviet Planetary Exploration Program, Venera 14; Processing & Copyright: Donald Mitchell & Michael Carroll (used with permission) Explanation: If you could stand on Venus -- what would you see? Pictured is the view from Venera 14, a robotic Soviet lander which parachuted and air-braked down through the thick Venusian atmosphere in March of 1982. The desolate landscape it saw included flat rocks, vast empty terrain, and a featureless sky above Phoebe Regio near Venus' equator. On the lower left is the spacecraft's penetrometer used to make scientific measurements, while the light piece on the right is part of an ejected lens-cap. Enduring temperatures near 450 degrees Celsius and pressures 75 times that on Earth, the hardened Venera spacecraft lasted only about an hour. Although data from Venera 14 was beamed across the inner Solar System over 40 years ago, digital processing and merging of Venera's unusual images continues even today. Recent analyses of infrared measurements taken by ESA's orbiting Venus Express spacecraft indicate that active volcanoes may currently exist on Venus.

The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate. ~ bell hooks bell hooks Author, activist, and cultural critic (1952-2021) This quote from author and social activist bell hooks appeared in her essay “Love as the Practice of Freedom,” published in 1994. In the piece, she presents her concept of an “ethic of love,” arguing for compassion — long revered in the world's organized religions — to be integrated into the social and political realms as well. “A culture of domination is anti-love,” hooks wrote, insisting that only love can bring about freedom and equality for all people.

Many cities are hosting free events today, so consider checking out whether your local botanical garden or library has something going on. Otherwise, Today rounded up 55 activities to do with mom, from organizing a cell phone family portrait to creating a cookbook together. ? ?— the Nice News team Featured Story How a Mom Entrepreneur Is Transforming Childcare for Working Parents Courtesy of Haven When Britt Riley had her first daughter, she took 12 weeks of unpaid maternity leave from her remote marketing job. After returning, she felt like she was falling behind, both as a mom and in her career. When her second was born less than two years later, it became even clearer that Riley needed a type of support that didn’t seem to exist. ? So she set out to create it herself. Enter: The Haven Collection, a unique, family-focused concept that’s helping reshape the way American society approaches childcare for working parents. There are three Haven locations across Rhode Island and New Jersey, and each features a fully licensed daycare facility, a coworking space, and a gym — all in one building. ? “One hundred percent, this business is built out of my own experiences as a new parent,” the 40-year-old, whose kids are now 7 and 9, tells Nice News, adding: “Community is the heart of all of it.” Click below to learn more about the spaces. Go Inside Haven Together With Pacaso This Is Where the Smart Money Is Inflation is creeping back. The Fed is holding rates high. The stock market is swinging like it’s 2008. Meanwhile, the wealthy are quietly moving money into hard assets, especially luxury real estate. They know what survives economic storms: tangible, limited-supply assets in top-tier locations. That’s why Pacaso’s co-ownership tech platform has been so popular. ? The company, built by Zillow’s founding team, has facilitated over $1 billion in real estate transactions and earned more than $110 million in gross profits — and it’s now open to individual investors for $2.80/share.

Again, brilliant!” A fabulous anytime gift. Shop now. From: Anu Garg (words at wordsmith.org) Subject: Vowels This week I wondered why the word vowel doesn’t include all the vowels. I asked our readers: How to include all the vowels in the word? Here’s a selection from the responses: Perhaps there was a miscommunication when “vowel” was spelled aloud. It was intended to be double-u, not w. “Vouuelization” has all the vouuels, and a few to spare! -Tristan Reid, Santa Monica, California (tristanreid yahoo.com) How about voieula...(the old English word from which vowel was derived) + a. -Ivy Kaminsky, Houston, Texas (ivykaminsky yahoo.com) Re-spell, like English “colour”. Vouwelization. -James Chavez, Eugene, Oregon (jamesrchavez gmail.com) You could go old-style and add that missing u after the o to give vouwelisation. Maybe then miss out the w for vouelisation? That might be a step too far. -Denise Thorn, Grantown-on-Spey, Scotland (denisethorn gmail.com) With the still-missing ‘u’ in your introductory comments, you’re clearly concerned about undervowelization. -Marc Slingerland, Lethbridge, Canada (marc.slingerland gmail.com) -Gregory K Sherrill, Rockville, Maryland (gregory.k.sherrill verizon.com) Vowelizatious. -Raymond Muzaaya, Kampala, Uganda (muzaaya gmail.com) Voweluation: Determining the worth (vowelue) of one’s rack of Scrabble tablets according to how the available vowels, either on the rack or on the board, will help one achieve a high point score. -Steve Benko, New York, New York (stevebenko1 gmail.com) Also mentioned by Gary Rogowski, Lyle, Washington (studio northwestwoodworking.com) Vowelacious! -Jenni Elion, Raleigh, North Carolina (jenni.elion gmail.com) -Heather Sudbury, London, UK (redcoyo yahoo.com) -J Russell Hoverman, Austin, Texas (jrhdal yahoo.com) Vowelatious. -Leigh Beekman, Redwood City, California (leighbdc aol.com) Ur-vowelization? -Mike Robinson, Nottingham, UK (mikerobinson666 hotmail.co.uk) Ubervowelization. -Rachel Cohen (rachelvalcohen gmail.com) -Debra Zei, Houghton, Michigan (debra.zei gmail.com) -Karen M.

Bergmann, Madison, Wisconsin (demiurge fibitz.com) How about undervowelization? -Brian Willson, Salt Lake City, Utah (willson 3ip.com) Vowels that are not just written, but spoken and heard: vowelauditory. -Tom Vandel, Portland, Oregon (tom lesoverhead.com) Why not just spell it voueail? -John Carver, Duncan, Canada (john.carver obloketure.ca) Unvowelization uses all the vowels. It means unvocalization. But that goes without saying. -Paul Wiese, La Crosse, Wisconsin (pgw1015 gmail.com) Unvowelization is defined as the process of removing vowels from a word. In computer programming one must name variables that are used in the program. Using ordinary words is descriptive but sometimes there are limits to the length of a variable name, or you just get tired of typing. Many words are still recognizable if some or all vowels are missing. Thus Time_before_the_first_Probing_Event could become TmBfrFrstPrbngEvnt. When phytophagous Hemiptera probe a plant they insert their mouthparts into the plant in search of phloem or xylem. -Timothy Aaron Ebert, Auburndale, Florida (tebert ufl.edu) Also m

From: Gregory Fry Today's Scripture: It was the time of the feast of Dedication in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was in the Temple walking up and down in the Portico of Solomon. The Jews gathered round Him and said, 'How much longer are You going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us openly.' Jesus replied: I have told you, but you do not believe. The works I do in My Father's name are My witness; but you do not believe, because you are no sheep of Mine. "The sheep that belong to Me listen to My voice; I know them and they follow Me. I give them eternal life; they will never be lost and no one will ever steal them from My hand. "The Father, for what He has given Me, is greater than anyone, and no one can steal anything from the Father's hand. The Father and I Are one." --John 10:22-30 There is something blissfully archaic about our Gospel lesson for today with its reference to sheep and shepherds. Sheep-talk is whimsical and romantic, but it also may seem quite irrelevant. Unless you are one of the few people who has perhaps worked on a farm or business which dealt with sheep, they may appear in your mind--as they long had in mine--as fluffy, white little animals spending their lives out grazing in some ideal bucolic scene. For those with a bit more knowledge, sheep may be referred to as rather stupid animals. They are easily distracted and gifted with minimal problem-solving ability. They also tend to be rather dirty and smelly, much of the time. Given that view of sheep, I always marveled that so many pastors chose to refer to their congregation as "my little flock!" But I discovered another way of looking at sheep. Most of the negative information about sheep can be traced to cattle ranchers, who do not like them because they are not cows. Cows are easier to herd. Cowboys get behind them, crack whips, or make noise, and the cattle move forward. That does not work with sheep. If you do that, sheep will run in circles. Sheep cannot be driven; they need to be led. They will learn to trust a leader and will go anywhere their leader goes first. Sheep need their shepherd to guide them and, if things get dodgy, to rescue them. Jesus understood this unique relationship between the sheep and the shepherd. He knew that while all sheep may look the same to an outsider, a good shepherd knows his sheep individually. Certainly that was what He had in mind when He told that story about a shepherd leaving ninety-nine sheep to search for one that had gone astray (cf. Matthew 18:12-14; Luke 15:3-7). Likewise, Jesus identifies a good shepherd as one who truly cares for the welfare of his sheep, even to the point of being willing to lay down his life for them (John 10:11-18). Jesus would have us understand that this is the nature of God’s deep and persistent love for every one of us. But sheep existed then--and exist now--in a world of danger as well as nourishment. I find it interesting that the Evangelist John makes a specific reference to the weather in this passage: "It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple...(10:22)." John was not a meteorologist, so I believe he is referring to the spiritual climate expressed by those who were opposed to Jesus and His message. The wind-chill factor of hostility and endless criticism from the religious leaders in Jerusalem cut Jesus and His disciples to the bone, blasting them with the cold air of ridicule and resentment. Into this frigid atmosphere, Jesus spoke those beautiful words that compared His followers' love and trust for Him to that wonderful relationship between the sheep and their shepherd. “My sheep hear My voice”, Jesus said. “ I know them, and they follow Me. I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of My hand" (John 10 27-28). You can count on that, Jesus says. Yet Jesus is here surrounded by those hostile to Him and His message. They demand that He "tell them plainly" whether He is the Messiah or not. This demand is not motivated by an honest desire to get to know Him better--they are implacably hostile to
