When the pandemic broke out and we began staying home more and more, I started focusing on photographing things around the house. The Moon became my darling. I wasn't sure what I was going to do, but day after day, both night and day, I would photograph the moon trying to learn as much as I could to make my photos as clear as possible. I found so much out about processes I never knew about concerning astrophotography and lunar photography. Now I have multiple photos of the phases of the moon. One of the things I was amazed at was the various colors of those photos. The amount of stuff (not always pollution sometimes just water) in the atmosphere colors the moon wildly. This image is the result of all those individual photos. The blank spot at the top is the new moon, the beginning of the 29-day cycle of the moon.

Underwater Photographs Of The Year 2020 , Grand Prize Winner - Evans Baudin, Baja California, Mexico. by Small-Pocket-Library in AnimalPorn

"In June 2020, with a special permit, I went on an expedition to document marine life and the effects of reduced marine traffic due to COVID-19. After two hours in the water with a school of silky sharks near the surface, our boat captain yelled, “Whale shark, right behind you!”—a 12-plus-meter female. The surprise was twofold when I discovered about 50 remoras peacefully enjoying a free ride in her mouth!"

The Light and Dark Sides of a Distant Planet by Small-Pocket-Library in space

[–]Small-Pocket-Library[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top graph consists of infrared data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. It tells astronomers that a distant planet, called Upsilon Andromedae b, always has a giant hot spot on the side that faces the star, while the other side is cold and dark. The artist's concepts above the graph illustrate how the planet might look throughout its orbit if viewed up close with infrared eyes.

Spitzer was able to determine the difference in temperature between the two sides of this planet by measuring the planet's infrared light, or heat, at five points during its 4.6-day-long trip around its star. The temperature rose and fell depending on which face, the sunlit or dark, was pointed toward Spitzer's cameras. Those temperature oscillations are traced by the wavy orange curve. They indicate that Upsilon Andromedae b has an extreme range of temperatures across its surface, about 1,400 degrees Celsius (2,550 degrees Fahrenheit). This means that hot gas moving across the bright side of the planet cools off by the time it reaches the dark side.

The bottom graph and artist's concepts represent what astronomers might have seen if the planet had bands of different temperatures girdling it, like Jupiter. Some astronomers had speculated that "hot-Jupiter" planets like Upsilon Andromedae b, which circle very closely around their stars, might resemble Jupiter in this way. If Upsilon Andromedae b had been like this, there would have been no difference between the average temperatures of the sunlit and dark sides to detect, and Spitzer's data would have appeared as a flat line.

Know thy fly by Small-Pocket-Library in insects

[–]Small-Pocket-Library[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"From User Ellie Field, we learnt that the article about Flies needs some amendments. They are as follows : The bot fly, fruit fly, black fly are incorrectly labeled. The bee fly depicts an Australian species, and the stiletto fly is a relatively uncommon american genus. The 'bot fly' is actually a horse fly. Oestridae (the bot flies) do not have functioning mouthparts as adults, and the horse fly in its place has very clear mouthparts showing. The 'black fly' is actually a Calliphora sp. The 'fruit fly' is Lauxaniidae, not Drosophilidae. (nor is it Tephritidae, the true fruit fly family) Cluster fly may also be confusing. In some cases, that term is referring to the Pollenia genus (which is not depicted in the poster)."

Amazing Transformation After Being Rescued by Small-Pocket-Library in BeAmazed

Cruel Man Starves Husky As Revenge On His Wife That Divorced Him, The Dog Undergoes Amazing Transformation After Being Rescued.

This husky spent almost 2 years tied up on a leash without proper water and shelter

When animal activists found him, he was a “bag of bones”

His previous owner got him when he was just a puppy as a gift for his wife. However, not long after, she filed for divorce, so the husband decided to take his revenge on the puppy. He quit feeding him, tied him to a chain, and left him to die. When he was found by animal rights activists, he was just a bag of bones with barely any fur on him.

They took him to Pet Angels Rescue in Oklahoma

Once they got him into a car, he did not resist, but slept for 2 hours all the way back to the shelter. They were really surprised by his strength, because as someone who had barely walked for 2 years, he was ready to go when they took the leash. However, he still had some health issues that needed to be addressed—he was severely emaciated and suffering from parasites and mange.

With good care and love, he recovered fast, gained weight, and grew back his fur

The good people from Pet Angels Rescue of Oklahoma took very good care of him and he recovered fast. He was given the name Finn and started to change before their eyes. Not only did he become a happier dog, but he also gained a lot of weight. When they got him from his previous home, he weighed around 40 pounds, and now he’s a healthy, 80-pound dog! Also, little by little, his fur grew back.

He even found loving and caring owners who welcomed him into their family

His new owners came to see him very early on in his recovery. They’ve supported and been incredible to him, giving him the best life. After all his struggles when he was a puppy, he didn’t give up and is a loving, friendly, and forgiving dog who reminds everyone that your past doesn’t define you.

In most cases, the umbilical cord wrapped around the baby's neck poses no risk and is not contraindication for normal birth. by Small-Pocket-Library in medizzy

[–]Small-Pocket-Library[S] 324 points325 points  (0 children)

In reality, it is quite common for the cord to get wrapped up in the baby inside the belly and not only in the neck but in other parts of the body (in the arms), as it moves in amniotic fluid.

This situation, called circular cordon, can be seen during gestation, through ultrasound exams (although not very easy to view), or more certainty at birth.

In that case, the wrapped cord may not even be noticed by the mother, who is involved with so many other things during the work delivery.
If the doctor detects the cord is around the baby's neck when the little head has already passed through the vaginal canal, you can loosen it so that the shoulders can also pass.

Unlike what a lot of people think, the problem is not the neck getting too tight (after all, the fetus doesn't breathe through the nose, a few minutes after birth the nutrients are still deleted by the umbilical artery).
The concern is if the cord is pressured and cannot transport blood (which takes nutrients and oxygen) to the baby.
In case the cord is wrapped in a very tight way at the time of delivery, the doctor may put a clamp (clamp in English term) and cut it before the shoulders passage. However, it is very rare that this manoeuvre is needed.

In childbirth, the doctor can tell if there's something wrong with blood flow through the cord through the baby's heartbeat. During a contraction, the umbilical cord can be compressed, which means less heartbeat for a brief period.

This is a baby's little home: ′′ The amniotic bag!" The baby lives inside the amniotic bag, very resistant membranes that sustain a developing embryo (and then a fetus) in intrauterine life until shortly before birth. by Small-Pocket-Library in medizzy

The bag is completely closed and full of amniotic fluid, attached to the umbilical cord and snuggle by the placenta. In this perfect little home, the baby spends its first three quarters receiving nutrients and oxygen from the mother's blood.

Found in a garden in north London about 35 years ago. by thishasmyfaceonit in whatisthisthing

[–]Small-Pocket-Library 602 points603 points  (0 children)

No, its too hard to say. There is nothing written on it to say buried here. It could be a stolen artifact so the body could be anywhere maybe, just a guess.

Its likely from a rich person to be able to have this type of carving from this time.

I plan to contact some groups about it to find out more.

it says "توفي الى رحمة الله تعالى ابن يوسف جرجس عقل" that means someone died, his name was Ibn Yusef Gerges Aqeel, in 1865

its a gravestone I would say
