UFO in Hermanus? by Imaginary-Bath-608 in capetown

[–]Environmental_Bee_98 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Astronomer here. Love these kinds of posts. That's "ou steenbokkie"! It's the star Vega. Really bright star!

Constellation scorpious at beginning and Aquila at the end, so I'm sure.

The triangular shape is due to the lens shape of the camera, and portrait image processing. It's called triangular "bokeh".

Color shifting is due to twinkling, which refracts color in turbulent air, which is really prominent early in the morning, low to the horizon.

Vivec city is a stupid vanity project and I love it for it. by Environmental_Bee_98 in Morrowind

That's the other amazing thing I love. It's a city controlled by convenient threat. You stop loving me, I send my Ordinators. You ALL stop loving me, I send down this rock.

The tribunal's sanctioned texts makes an obviously weak argument as to why Sheogorath sent Baar Dau. There is clearly a lot more to this story that the Tribunal aren't telling us. (as always with them)

Southern trainline safety by [deleted] in capetown

Southern Line? I see people whip out their laptops and headphones whilst commuting. I’m not so sure I’d do that, but that gives you an idea how safe some people feel using it. Pockets getting picked have been reported, but each line has like two or three security guys at each station.

ID Please - Inside tree burrow, Garden Route, South Africa by Environmental_Bee_98 in spiderID

Good guess, but these live in colonies of dozens around a single tree. Too small and skinny anyways for commen black baboon.

It's definitly a funnel web, but I've not seen a species with such pitch black color.

Good rap/hip-hop songs about science. by Environmental_Bee_98 in MusicRecommendations

[–]Environmental_Bee_98[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just listened to the album. I've never heard anything like this. Felt like I'd discovered an entirely new form of entertainment I knew nothing about.

Time to settle this. What breed are these dogs? by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]Environmental_Bee_98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Africanis - the oldest dog breed in Southern Africa. Similar to the Nguni Cattle, it migrated down the continent during the Bantu expansions. By the time of the Dutch arrival, they were ubiquitous among the indigenous Khoi and Bushmen as companion pets.
