The universe from beginning to end, covered in just eleven hours of thoughtful conversation between @astrokatie.comcrash-course-pods-the-universe.simplecast.com The final episode, "How it All Ends," is especially fantastic. Alt title idea: "The Episode at the End of the Universe."

Thanks. One of the motivations for explorations like this one is to discover (and/or confirm) the caveats.

Artificial intelligence systems trained on the works of specific philosophers to “do philosophy” as them may help us better understand those philosophers’ ideas, and explore how they might think about problems they never considered in their lifetimes. #philsky

A Triangular Prominence Hovers Over the Sun - © Andrea Vanoni - PicHD PicAbout Astronomy Picture Of the Day#astrophotos@shinyakato.dev 🔭 READ MORE 🔭

Why is there a triangle hovering over the Sun?  Although the shape is unusual, the type of structure is not: it is part of an evolving solar prominence.  Looping magnetic fields on the Sun channel the flow of energetic particles, sometimes holding glowing gaseous structures aloft for months.  A prominence glows brightly because it contains particularly hot, dense, or opaque solar plasma. The surprising triangular structure occurred last week. Larger than our Earth, the iconic prominence was imaged by several solar photographers and documented by NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory to form and violently dissipate in about a day. The featured image was captured in a color of red light emitted strongly by hydrogen.  Below, solar fibrils carpet the Sun's chromosphere, while the background sky is so faint in comparison that no stars are visible.  Our Sun's surface has been quite active this year.

The Moon Dressed Like Saturn - © Francisco Sojuel - PicHD PicAbout Astronomy Picture Of the Day#astrophotos@shinyakato.dev 🔭 READ MORE 🔭

Why does Saturn appear so big? It doesn't -- what is pictured are foreground clouds on Earth crossing in front of the Moon. The Moon shows a slight crescent phase with most of its surface visible by reflected Earthlight, known as Da Vinci glow. The Sun directly illuminates the brightly lit lunar crescent from the bottom, which means that the Sun must be below the horizon and so the image was taken before sunrise.  This double take-inducing picture was captured on 2019 December 24, two days before the Moon slid in front of the Sun to create a solar eclipse. In the foreground, lights from small Guatemalan towns are visible behind the huge volcano Pacaya.    Your Sky Surprise: What picture did APOD feature on your birthday? (post 1995)

The teletransporter: Now turn your thoughts to the curious device, Which scatters the body, then builds it precise. … Atoms once joined are torn apart, Their bonds severed, their forms depart. Though reassembled in perfect array, Is this the self, or merely its display?

"Let me put it this way, Mr. Amor. The nine-thousand series is the most reliable computer ever made. No nine-thousand computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error."
