How do black hole jets accelerate? Using both EHT and lower-frequency data for several black holes, a team of EHT scientists have now made advances in answering this long-standing question. The study is now published in Astronomy & Astrophysics. #blackhole #astronomy More here: tinyurl.com/4mjt8pph

🌍🌪️ Extreme weather is intensifying, impacting people, & nature. More heatwaves, stronger storms & rising floods all require urgent action.🧪 Read UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres statement on #WorldMeteorologicalDay ⤵️ 🔗 @wmo-global.bsky.social wmo.int/content/wmo-...

Heart cockles have evolved structures similar to fibre optic cable bundles, according to research in Nature Communications. These ‘window-like’ structures channel sunlight to symbiotic algae living inside their shells, while blocking out harmful ultraviolet radiation. go.nature.com/4hW2j39 🧪

This is figure 1, which shows heart cockles (Corculum cardissa and Corculum spp.) are asymmetrical, photosymbiotic bivalves.

The #core of the #Earth spins around a slightly different axis compared to the #mantle. In this animation we start in a space frame and switch gradually to the frame spinning with the mantle. In that frame the core appears to wobble. The mantle precesses and the core, being fluid, lags a bit. 🧪 🔭

Guten Morgen zusammen - wie immer mit einem aktuellen Bild der Sonne via Satellit SDO, heute mal wieder in (Achtung: Fachbegriff) gletschereisbonbonfarbener Wellenlänge.

Die ganze erdzugewandte Seite der Sonne in petrol- beziehungsweise türkisfarbener Darstellung. Knapp ein Dutzend hellere Stellen auf der Oberfläche, manche kleiner, andere größer. Das sind sogenannte Aktive Regionen, die sich in dieser Wellenlänge verraten. Apropos Wellenlänge: Hier hat der Satellit UV-Strahlung aufgenommen, die für unsere Augen eigentlich unsichtbar ist (wir spüren zwar die Folgen von UV-Strahlung in Form eines Sonnenbrandes, sehen diese Strahlen aber nicht). Um sie dennoch in ein anschauliches Bild zu übersetzen, wurde sie künstlich eingefärbt. Auch bei anderen Bildern des Satelliten ist das so - jedesmal in anderen Bereichen des elektromagnetischen Spektrums und jedesmal in einer anderen Farbe.

Descartes and the Mind-Body Problem [via MIT Press and Jonathan Westphal] 🧪🧠 Bit of a stretch to say this "mystery" haunts #philosophy to this day. Without the body, there is no 'mind' - which is simply a process in the body substrate. getpocket.com/explore/item... #mind #body #duality #philsky

Descartes and the Discovery of the Mind-Body Problem

The French philosopher René Descartes is often credited with discovering the mind-body problem, a mystery that haunts philosophers to this day. The reality is more complicated than that.
