Just a profoundly gross development. I was wondering what unexpected twist was going to make this situation even worse, and there it is.
Investment firms are showing a growing interest in an increasingly scarce natural resource in the American West. For some, that's concerning.
RIP Lin Brehmer. Never miss a chance to remind yourself that it’s great to be alive.
An inadvertent shot of the tarmac & one cycling boot out on today’s ride. Another 45km in sub-zero (°C) windchill weather, although at least it wasn’t raining 🤷♂️

Moon & Mars Occultation
A stunning late afternoon autumn mackerel cloudscape just before my Saturday cycle ride 🙂👍
Pity none of the panorama-capable photo apps on my iPhone are able to access RAW mode, which would avoid the clouds appearing as smeary messes 😬

Love a bit of late November convective incus action ☁️
I bet you’ve heard of Galileo & Hubble, but what about Henrietta Swan Leavitt?
Leavitt changed astronomy. She figured out new ways to measure a star’s distance from Earth & her work helped determine the universe is expanding.
Her boss, Edward Pickering, published her findings UNDER HIS NAME. Later, Shapley used her findings to determine distances around the Milky Way w/o credit.
Leavitt’s work is still used today. Next time you hear about famous men in #science share her story. #HistoryRemix
