Fw: Astronomy Picture of the Day (5/24/2025): Deimos Before Sunrise
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 May 24 Deimos Before Sunrise Image Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech Explanation: Deimos takes 30 hours and 18 minutes to complete one orbit around the Red Planet. That's a little more than one Martian day or sol which is about 24 hours and 40 minutes long, so Deimos drifts westward across the Martian sky. About 15 kilometers across at its widest, the smallest of Mars' two moons is bright though. In fact Deimos is the brightest celestial object in this Martian skyscape captured before sunrise by Perseverance on March 1, the 1,433rd sol of the Mars rover's mission. The image is a composed of 16 exposures recorded by one of the rover's navigation cameras. The individual exposures were combined into a single image for an enhanced low light view. Regulus and Algeiba, bright stars in the constellation Leo, are also visible in the dark Martian predawn sky.

Inspiring Quotes for Saturday, May 24, 2025
Hope I believe in some blending of hope and sunshine sweetening the worst lots. ~ Charlotte Bront? Charlotte Bront?¡¯s semi-autobiographical novel ¡°Villette¡± (1853) is laden with themes of loneliness and grief. As its protagonist Lucy Snowe navigates personal hardships ¡ª the loss of family and friends, isolation in a new place, and heartbreak ¡ª she finds herself tempted to despair. Like Snowe, Bront? experienced her own familial losses and arduous experiences. And while this introspective and emotionally raw novel doesn¡¯t deliver an idealized happy ending, it offers its own kind of resolve: a bittersweet recognition that even the darkest times are often illuminated by glimpses of light, both those we hold inside ourselves and those the world shows us if we remain open to seeing them.

The Carnarvon flapjack octopus, named in part for its ability to flatten its body like a pancake, has now been officially cataloged by scientists following its 2022 discovery. ? The creature was found nearly 5,000 feet deep off the coast of northwestern Australia along with around 1,000 other new-to-science species. It falls under the Dumbo octopus umbrella, a rare genus known for its flapping, ear-like fins. ? The mollusk¡¯s shapeshifting skills, which also allow it to expand ¡°like a tiny gelatinous umbrella,¡± per a press release, help protect it from predators. On the flip side, the octopus¡¯ large eyes (relative to its four-centimeter body size) help it seek out prey in the dark depths of the ocean. ?

Fw: What Does the Winner of ¡°Survivor¡± Get? All About the Prize Fund (and Why Losing Contestants Still Get Paid)
From: Sharon Pohlman https://www.people.com/ What Does the Winner of ¡°Survivor¡± Get? All About the Prize Fund (and Why Losing Contestants Still Get Paid)The winner of ¡¯Survivor¡¯ season 48 took home the grand prize on May 21, while other contestants were also paid for their time Caroline Blair Thu, May 22, 2025 Season 48 of Survivor came to an end on May 21 The winner took home the $1 million prize fund All the contestants reportedly receive a paycheck depending on their performance on the reality TV show Survivor has wrapped up another intense season! The hit reality TV competition show began airing on CBS in 2000 and has challenged contestants to survive in deserted circumstances while competing in various challenges, forming alliances and voting out competitors. Ever since the series launched, it has awarded the winner the title of Sole Survivor and $1 million. The Survivor season 48 finale, which aired on May 21, saw five remaining contestants ¡ª Joe Hunter, Eva Erickson, Kyle Fraser, Kamilla Karthigesu and Mitch Guerra ¡ª competing for the grand prize and Sole Survivor title. While only one person got to take home the $1 million grand prize, the remainder of the contestants reportedly also received some amount of money depending on how well they did in the competition. "I think people are always surprised to learn that we do earn money,¡± Corinne Kaplan, who starred on seasons 17 and 26, said in a 2021 episode of the Trading Secrets podcast. ¡°The same pot of money exists no matter how many players there are.¡± PEOPLE has reached out to CBS for comment. So, how much money have the past winners and contestants on Survivor won? Here's everything to know about what the Survivor winner gets. What does the winner of Survivor get?Ever since Survivor premiered in 2000, the contestants have competed to win the $1 million grand prize and the title of Sole Survivor. However, the winner doesn't get to pocket the entire $1 million, since thousands of dollars have to go to federal and state taxes. The total amount of money a winner receives depends on their state's income taxes. It's crucial that the winner pay the taxes, as season 1 winner Richard Hatch spent nearly three years in federal prison for not paying up. He told PEOPLE in 2023 that legal fees and missed work "more than wiped out the money." As inflation has increased over the years, some viewers have questioned why the prize fund hasn't proportionally increased. June Deery, professor of communication and media at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, spoke about the fund to The Hollywood Reporter in February 2025, saying, "The coveted commodity on most reality shows is not only the prize but the media exposure. Even if participants aren¡¯t catapulted into A-list celebrityhood, the attention capital they accumulate on TV can be monetized online ¡ª from pitching sponsors or regular YouTube ads.¡± Has Survivor ever increased the prize fund? The $1 million prize fund has stayed the same since season 1 in 2000. However, the CBS show doubled the jackpot to $2 million once to celebrate the 40th season, Survivor: Winners at War, in 2019. The season featured 20 winners from past seasons of Survivor to compete for the highest prize fund in history. Tony Vlachos was named the winner "The $2 million prize was all CBS," host Jeff Probst told Entertainment Weekly in 2020. "The truth is, Kelly Kahl is the guy at CBS who back in season 2 moved Survivor to go up against Friends. And we beat Friends in the ratings and his career was really made in that moment." Probst continued, "He's been invested in Survivor forever. And he has given us free rein to do what we want for a long time. And this season he said, 'Can you try to make winners happen? And can we give them a $2 million prize?' " How much do the second and third-place finishers get? Even though they couldn't snag the title of Sole Survivor, contestants who get second and third place also walk away with a significant amount of money. The runner-up receives $100,000 and the third place finisher gets $85,000, according to Today. Kaplan, who ap
