That Is So Sad Alexa Play Ozar Midrashim

lextalkington A couple more mech-fossils that will be available this Friday, Sep 28. . Gold Spiked Rockfish Articulated Copperneck Seahorse (in the background) . I’m busy making new frames for these, but I plan to offer a smaller compact stand with a solid background as an option.

Apparently, Luzia’s section of the museum is ruined.

She was a fossil known as “the first brazilian”, because hers were the oldest homo sapiens remains found in brazilian soil. Her skull was discovered in Minas Gerais in the 70′s and anyone who visited the national museum from the 80′s until now has seen her face.

Descanse em paz, mais uma vez, Luzia.

Fossil colleciton!

The Bortle Scale and Light Pollution

The Bortle Scale is used by astronomers to rate the darkness of our skies. It ranges from 1 (darkest) to 9 (brightest). For most of us, our daily lives are spent beneath a radiance level of between 5 and 8 and rarely venture into areas ranked 3 or darker- and what a shame that is.

Light pollution, while a testament to our technological advances, has blanketed our view of the universe and decoupled our relationship with the cosmos. For the millions of people living in areas where less than 20 stars can be seen in the night sky, it is practically impossible to imagine a natural sky blanketed with upwards of 2,500 stars backed by great ribbons of billions of stars which can be found in our Galaxy: The Milky Way.

What are the effects of light pollution?

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty- a beauty cold and austere, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music.
