I remember learning of the atmospheric sodium layer in 1986 while working with a sodium D laser in an atomic physics lab. The only potential astronomical application at the time was by the Air Force, and that was Classified.

To counter the flood of low-quality manuscripts due to the ease with which they are produced with the help of generative AI tools, the arXiv now limits how many preprints you can submit: Two submissions per month, and at most three active submissions at a time. 🧪🔭 blog.arxiv.org/2026/10/01/u...

Wow. Rice singles, doubles, & homers twice, the latter being a grand slam. I think that’s 6 RBIs of the Yankee’s 9 runs.

Republican ads in Ohio leaning hard into “democrats want to force children to have unsolicited sex changes.” How unhinged from reality do you have to be to give this insane talking point even one second of credence? Let alone spending millions on ads to repeat it. I guess they think MAGA is stupid.
