Happy Space Science Saturday! This Wednesday, October 29, Mercury will be at its greatest eastern elongation which is the best time to view the planet from Earth’s surface. During this period, Mercury will be at its highest point above the horizon in our evening sky and farthest away from the Sun. The best chance to view Mercury will be just after sunset.

How light and epigenetics cooperate to regulate plant growth

A research team led by Prof. Cao Xiaofeng at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has uncovered the cooperative roles of photoreceptors, epigenetic modifiers, and transcription factors in regulating light-responsive genes in plants.

Researchers elucidate the variability and adaptability of internode elongation in barley

Plant architecture is the outcome of several successive developmental processes that can be classified into two events: Organogenesis and extension. Organogenesis stems from the meristems (stem cells) that give rise to different types of organs (e.g., leaves and flowers) and axillary buds, plus the subtending internodes. These organs form a functional unit called phytomer. It iterates and extends itself for several rounds until the apex either aborts or terminates into a specialized structure.

Der #Mond passiert morgen früh um 10:14 MESZ #Planet Jupiter im Abstand von geozentrisch 3°08' nördlich. #Elongation 174°W.

Wahrscheinlich schwierig zu beobachten: #Planet #Venus erreicht heute ihren engsten Abstand westlich vom mag 1 hellen Stern #Regulus. Beide trennen dann geozentrisch 3°28'31,26". #Elongation 34°Ost.

Das nächste Treffen der beiden ist bei 46°W am Morgenhimmel am 9.Oktober 2023.

Comme la vague impression qu'il va y avoir un nouveau lot d'utilisateurs par ici !
Bienvenue tout le monde, installez vous confortablement 🍵
