This year's theme for #NationalHeritageWeek (all 32 counties) is "Heritage at Risk". If anyone feels like doing a little workshop about mapping place names, #benchmarks, sewer vents, jostle stones or anything else heritage and at risk, it would be much appreciated. I'll certainly do one about field names in my local library - will share details asap.

And speaking of discoveries, PRONI have added 8 of the potential monuments I discovered while mapping buildings in Northern Ireland to their database as well. The links to them on their website don't work, but the numbers are DOW017:068, DOW001:066, DOW009:116, DOW021:082, DOW020:119, DOW028:079, DOW030:049 and DOW044:072 .

Lunar Impact Flashes NASA Artemis

NASA의 Artemis 2 임무 중 우주비행사들이 달 표면에서 발생하는 유성 충돌로 인한 순간적인 빛의 섬광을 직접 관측했다. 이 관측은 달의 충돌 빈도, 에너지 방출, 분화구 형성 과정을 이해하는 데 중요한 실시간 데이터를 제공하며, 특히 달의 지구 반대편에서 이루어진 관측이라는 점에서 의미가 크다. 지상 시민 과학자들과의 협업을 통해 관측 데이터의 신뢰성을 높였고, 이러한 연구는 미래 달 기지 건설 시 미세운석 충돌 위험 평가와 방호 설계에 활용될 전망이다. Artemis 임무는 앞으로도 달 충돌 활동 모니터링과 탐사 전략 수립에 핵심적인 역할을 할 것이다.

🐴🐘🐪 This tooth survived the end of the Ice Age in a gravel pit. 🦷

Found 5 miles east of Montevideo, this lower horse molar may have belonged to one of the last Equus roaming Minnesota before their disappearance from North America. It’s tooth 10 in the 12 specimen project tracing Minnesota’s Ice Age horses.

Follow the whole 12 tooth journey in Lost Bones #4 thru the link in my bio.
