Good Morning #fediverse🌿

After that concern has entered my life on a daily basis, I thought that looking at some projects that are a pure team and joint - work effort can remind me that we can really move mountains if we unite for a greater cause.

This is the footage of the first of nine planet flybys that BepiColombo will make on its way to #Mercury.
During its first swing by it took pictures of our beautiful home - Earth🕊️

Have an awesome Wednesday!☀️☀️☀️

Many shades of green🌿
I assume green colour in leaves is the result of the chlorophyll-light absorption.
But what I do not understand are the different nuances of #green that we can see in different species ...
Apart from illumination, what is it that makes leaves of one tree shine in a yellowish green while others please us in a darker bluish tinge?
Is it the density of the leaf tissue, the chlorophyll concentration/distribution or a "magic ingredient"?
Probably a question for a #botanist? 🙏

A #caturday contribution

My old granny falling asleep over statistical thermodynamics and I can't blame her 🤷

I see responses on toots delayed or not in the correct chronological order in the #tusky app.
It's a bit chaotic, so bear with me I'll figure out eventually how this #mastoverse works 🌿

Slowing down before work, the scenic route to uni :)

Have a fab weekend!

#Science at work looking like #brucebanner 's lab   
Chilling mineral powders with liquid nitrogen :)
These tiny grains will tell us how a night on #Mercury would feel #brrrrrrr
