#PPOD: ESA’s Smile mission has captured its first ultraviolet image of Earth’s northern aurora, revealing the glowing oval during an auroral substorm. Smile’s Ultraviolet Imager captured the image, observing ultraviolet light produced when energetic particles... 🧪 🔭
A square blue image, with a little over half of Earth taking up most of the image. Earth looks like how we see the Moon when it is waxing or waning at just over a half-Moon. Because this is an ultraviolet image, Earth does not appear in its usual colours, but is light blue with a white ring. This ring is about a third of the size of the face of Earth that we see, and is quite swirly, like clouds or dye being mixed with water. The background of the image is dark blue, with some tiny white dots: these are stars.

the hague, september 2026. iphone 15 pro max camera on various lens settings.
A dark green staircase railing with gold leaf detailing wraps around the white walls, with a long abstract chandelier hanging in the center. On one wall, an enormous replica MC Escher painting is displayed. A beach that is nearly empty, four people walk along the edge of the tide in the sand while golden sunlight scatters through the dark grey clouds. On the far left, a pier extends into the sea hosting a Ferris wheel and outlook tower. A fluffy cat with orange and white marbled fur sits on a stone path framed by bright pink and red flowers. The cat is facing away from the camera and down a tunnel of green vines further along the path. Two umbrellas connected by a soft orange string of lights sit before a row of red and white stone buildings, framed against dark grey and peach clouds in a light blue sky.

Two glasses with pink cocktails at a hotel rooftop bar during sunset. The sky is a gradient from very light blue to deep orange above the mountains across the sea. A cup of ice cream in my hand in front of the beach, the sun is so bright my skin appears reflective and the water is a deep green-blue.

valència, july 2026, sony a7iii (various lenses).
A historic stone church is framed against a light blue sky with wispy white clouds at the edges of the photo. A trimmed hedge garden sits at the edge of a river framed by trees, with Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias in the background against a light blue sky with a single pale peach trail of clouds.A historic red and white stone building is flanked by two modern grey concrete buildings. People on bikes zip by on the street and the sky is a clear light blue. A dark grey box is graffitied with a colorful swirl and white text that says "Life is sweet!" on a shady street lined with trees. Colorful buildings reflect sunlight from above.

This editorial is indeed blunt, in your face, sweary, and absolutely 100% correct. I'm happy Science published it. It needs to be spread far and wide, because it strips away all the usual mealy-mouthed crap when it comes to discussing Trump and makes it clear who he is and what he's doing.
