It’s done. This is the moment Britains last remaining coal power station came off the electricity system for the final time, marking the end of 142 years of coal generating electricity in Great Britain. HT National Grid ESO

Marissa J. Lang writes a tender story about the friends who gathered here on July 19, 1974. What were they doing having breakfast and drinking champagne on the National Mall? How could it happen? Gift link.

This photo on the National Mall captivated the country decades ago. The real story behind it remained a mystery — until now.

In 1974, a group of friends met the unthinkable with a lavish celebration. The real story behind a photo that captured the moment remained a mystery until now.

Reviving this thread of truly dumb real estate photos with tonight’s entry. What are we even doing here people?

Blueberries and out of focus oats(??) spilled on a dark kitchen counter. Clean measuring spoons and a small dish of powder that looks like cinnamon. Also out of focus. So dumb.

Three people I know personally (of about 20 that I pestered to do it) who checked their registration were suspended. Check, and pass it on.

Enjoyed reading Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan this weekend. The writing feels light, and the story compelling. I’m looking forward to reading the sequel. :)

Hey 🔭 🧪, my wonderful colleauge Gina Panopoulou is advertising for a PhD position in Galactic astrophysics here at Chalmers. Please share with anyone that might be interested. Deadline is Nov 1st. www.chalmers.se/en/about-cha...

A three panel figure: (1) gloved hands in a laboratory setting work on assembling a reciever for a millimeter telescope. (2) An aerial view of the Onsala Space Observatory with the 25m dish in the foreground looking up, two smaller dishes in the middle distance, and the raydome around the 20m in the distance, (3) artist impression of the SKA telescope in South Africa: dozens of dishes look at the sky in a dessert setting.

Did you know galaxies are classified into three major categories: elliptical, spiral, and irregular? These galaxies span a wide range of sizes, from dwarf galaxies containing as few as 100 million stars to giant galaxies with more than a trillion stars: bit.ly/3WNI1Rd 🔭 🧪

Six images on a black background, three across in two rows. The top row shows three illustrations of galaxies. At left, an elliptical is shown as a fuzzy blue dot that gets brighter toward the center. In the middle is a spiral galaxy, looking like a pinwheel. The right image is a representation of an irregular galaxy, a sprinkling of colorful dots that are denser and whiter toward the center. In the bottom row are three real images of galaxies. On the left is a large light orange fuzzy dot with the words ESO 325-G004. In the middle is an image of galaxy M101, with a yellow center and blue/purple arms spiraling from the center. On the right is a cloud of red wisps against a black background. A bright white shines near the top right of the red cloud. Below is the designation NGC 1569.
