Fires on La Palma are common in summer due to the island’s dry climate. One analysis of tree rings suggests that intense fires burn the island’s forests roughly every 7 years on average, with less intense fires burning every 2-4 years.

9.16.24 / 9.17.24 - september supermoon

#last img is a composite btw. wanted moon clarity AND noise blowout; had to get clever to have both #‘she’s was so big and bright last night!’ - my mom #did you know the moon completes its orbit around earth in 27.3 days? it also completes a spin along it’s axis every 27.3 days #so we always see the same side of moon locally; but it depends on where you’re at on earth #the lunar cycle completes every 29.5 days - as opposed to the 27.3 it takes to complete its own orbit;#that’s a difference of 2.2 days!#something something pythagorean comma #like the leap year! a sidereal year is 365.25 days; every four cycles we gain a ‘semitone’ - an extra day #in musical scale: if you complete a circle of fifths using just intervals of perfect fifths; you’ll gain a quarter of a semitone #the interval leading from an old octave into a new one. like a step forward; a comma which denotes transition #so not a ‘circle’ but a spiral/fractal #in western music we flatten each fifth by a 12th of a pythagorean comma to give us our seven ‘perfect octaves’#also called ‘equal temperament’#this flattens each fifth by ~2 cents to eliminate the perceived discordance cause by the slight bump in tone #I’m not saying there’s a metaphysical connection between the chromatic scale and lunar activity #but #it’s neat when you notice that our moon (and other celestial neighbors) move with a sense of musicality #even if that is a modal sense of musicality and not a tonal sense #my art #aesthetic #art #artwork #webcore #internetcore #glitchcore #abstract #artists on tumblr #photography #lunar #moon

sas rh: let eoin survive the fall au » the astronomer philosopher, the earth and the moon

#sas rogue heroes #sasrh:canonau #augustin jordan #eoin mcgonigal #paddy mayne #although it is true paddy orbits eoin like the moon does the earth (moreso after the first jump)#and that everyone knows theyre basically attached at the hip (however you wish to interpret that)#it is *also* true the more the sas wins and advances the more david is requesting paddys presence for important matters #(and *yes* david's quite sure LT mcgonigal can handle waiting outside the tent on his own paddy hes a big boy alright now get in there)#HOWEVER #paddy starts noticing that ACTUALLY eoin is not waiting on his own so much cause theres another fucking lieutenant #who keeps orbiting around almost like moth to flame #and its weird but its no big deal at first - eoin is a social guy anyways so it makes sense even if this ones french ?#(plus paddy keeps his one on one time so no notes there)#BUT #suddenly they're sharing looks and smiles and sort of digs at each other and paddy knows damn well the way eoin is teasing #and apparently frenchie goes along with it adding his own brand of *something* and what the fuck #and then it seems like they have almost inside jokes and sometimes paddy gets out of his stupid briefing #and jordan is walking away all too pleased and eoin is all to calm smiling up at him like he didn't just maybe spent an hour #talking to a fucking french of all people. THIS ONE french of all people.#but then eoin is very good at distracting him and hoarding his attention away from other things #especially when he grabs his arm to drag him to the piano #(and in truth what nags at paddys brain is that he doesn't *hate* this necessarily ?? even if the knowledge picks at his brain)#(it... gets his attention it makes him think and wonder and he gets a little grumpy sure cause thats his eoin BUT #he doesn't hate it necessarily. and *that* should be a problem or something)#anyways back with my all have two hands agenda !!! look how cute they look together !!!

Becoming deeply radicalized against the idea of crewed Mars missions, y'know how the Rovers keep sending back better and better data what if instead of that we made an even bigger one and devoted nearly 90% of its capacity to holding a guy in a bubble on top of it instead of sending back useful data, but wait! They'll eliminate like a half hour of latency and also almost certainly contaminate the landing site and possibly the entire planet, so it's not all downside.

#At least in the near term it's fucking pointless and the downsides are very large and very big #Quite frankly it is extraordinarily likely that the first people to arrive at mars will do so dead #Because they will have been sent by fucking idiots willing to take too large risks #But the good news is that the wreck will spread across and contaminate huge amounts of the martian biosphere #To the point that we will quite possibly never be able to discern the history of life on mars #But if they live at least they'll get to slightly reduce the latency on our telerobotic fleet!#And travel home with the samples I guess #Good thing Percy's tagging and bagging rocks that we just canceled the return trips for #At least once we fuck up the rest of the planet those will be sterile #Kinda still excited about Aritimis but also kinda becoming anti-human spaceflight in general #We should consider not doing that for a while and at most focus specifically on living on the moon in a controlled and limited fashion #Ground the whole fucking commercial fleet who gives a shit those capsules are both gonna get someone killed sooner rather than later #And it's not like we're learning a whole lot by having people on hand up there #They spend most of their time trying to keep the machines from falling apart #Which is the main thing people would be doing for three continuous years on the shortest possible mars mission #Like you could send a dozen rovers for the price of one crewed mission both mass and money-wise #And that's probably a lowball estimate even assuming more and more advances in rover technology #Which are happening a lot faster than the advances in life support technology #Right now we do not even have enough functioning space capsules at our low earth orbit space station #Starship HLS is a fucking joke #The whole thing reeks let's just stop sending people into space for a while what were we really getting out of it

#Not A Poll #Mod Update #Lost Terminal #SAYER #AI Bracket #Seth #I'm only eleven episodes in but I would die for Seth.#To be clear I am making fun of myself for having this thought.#SAYER is tortured by humans (and tortures them in return) from all sides. Seth only knew his mother and she died a long time ago.#Seth de-orbits himself to come live on earth.#SAYER escapes Earth's orbit to find freedom.#They both have soothing voices talking to You and sometimes their voice glitches into a scary register when they feel an Emotion.#But yeah this is not an honest pitch unless you're like me and all you need is ''Good podcast with an AI protagonist'' for your pitch.#Also I should have just cracked open my laptop instead of trying to edit this on my phone.

We all know about the fuss around Pluto, how many decry its "demotion" to a dwarf planet, and how it's still an honorary planet in the hearts of many, and I totally get it, but I don't think any of you out there are taking it far enough.

What about the rest of the so-called "dwarf" planets, huh? where's their justice? what about Ceres? Haumea? Makemake? Eris? fucking Quaoar?! why have just eight planets when you can have 18?! Why only invite Pluto to the party if you're already gonna expand the guest's list?!

you know what should be "demoted"? fucking Phobos and Deimos, the two "moons" of Mars. these two motherfuckers are proof that the barrier-to-entry for moons is too low. they're barely visible, they don't effect mars in any meaningful way, they aren't even round since they aren't big enough to round themselves under their own gravity, and one of them isn't even in a stable orbit of Mars! Phobos is gonna get ripped apart by mars' gravity in just a few dozen million years!

the concept of a "Dwarf Moon" is too good for them. they should be called, like, sateloids or something. Lunoids at most. fuck em

#all of this is a joke btw #I know why Dwarf Planets are defined separately from the rest of the solar system #but tbf we as a society are sleeping on them hard #if Pluto was discovered after the concept of a dwarf planet was defined #we wouldn't even know it existed #which is a shame because it's a fucking Baller!#you see those close up images we got?!#That Data About It?!#Fucking Sick!#cool and interesting as fuck!#but nobody'd care enough to know if we'd found it after coming up the idea of Dwarf Planets #imagine all the cool & interesting shit out in the Kuiper that'd be common knowledge #if they got the same attention pluto did for being 'The Ninth Planet'!!!!!#also fuck phobos and Deimos #we gotta come up with subcategories for moons fr #bc as it stands right now #a second earth orbiting jupiter #and a mcdonald's-sized boulder orbiting mercury shaped roughly llke mitt romney's dog #would be the same type of celestial object under our classifications #and I feel like there are some SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES THERE #like the only thing they'd have in common is orbiting a planet the way a planet orbits a star

They're just shooting stars, little one.

#Xenogears #Elhaym van Houten #Elehayym van Houten #Fei Fong Wong #Abel Xenogears #my art #Ive always wanted to draw Elhaym in her first outfit. the seamless artificial full body suit.#Earlier this year I thought it was the same design as Sophia's dress from the shadow silhouette; collar; and cross until I saw the animatio #Lore time. So surprisingly...#its hard to find any info on just how long you'd be able to witness debris burn up in the atmosphere from a 100km-long colony ship that #but I'd imagine there'd be a whole lot in the first 50yrs at least.#According to what I found on the topic debris at the 500km range above earth takes 25yrs to be pulled down & burn up in the atmosphere #& at the 1200km range it'd take 2000yrs til it burns up completely.#That ship has a lot of debris; crazy 'meteor showers' would be seen nightly for a very long time i think #had its blocks pull apart within orbit of a planet but I'd imagine there'd be a ton in the first 50yrs at least #PW ep2

"The BAS and Outdoor Chattanooga would like to cordially invite you to join in with observers around the world for this year’s "InternationalObservetheMoonNight! We will be kicking off at 7:00 pm Eastern for what promises to be a wonderful evening of viewing and talking about all things lunar. If you have never looked at the Moon through a telescope, prepare to have your mind *B *L *O *W *N !" -

Never associate characters & their relationships to celestial bodies bc you'll literally go insane both with the beauty of the cosmos and also the blorbos

#from time to time I remember that quora reply that said that if the earth suddenly stopped existing the moon would start to orbit the sun #and it makes me lose a bit of my sanity every single time #“who are you talking abt” I'm not answering that. but it's kinda obvious #tani's personal shit #anyway. Goodnight

okay enough indie band dash terrorism for now... it's time for something some of you may actually be interested in: Wip Wednesday and because i typed a few extra words on it listening to some Selected Tracks

i reread all of what i've got down for this one (matejtadej space/astronauts au) and it was really one of those 'damn i wish the author finished this' moments. but alas i find it SO easy to get bogged down in the details!! need to let go and not worry about whether, for instance, the orbital path i described in this paragraph would be something that could actually occur

also go listen to A Different Kind Of Love and Blue Heaven <3

#it is a path the ISS takes because i stole it from an ISS tracking website and those two sights would be eight hours apart. however.#what would the orbital path of a craft headed for venus be? why is he in low earth orbit anyway isn't it just wasting resources?#<- my internal monologue. i need to keep telling myself that i am allowed inaccuracies and oddities and not everything has to be Correct.#it does have to be heartbreaking so watch out for that if i ever post it :3 #fic

Long ago, I started maintaining a fiction recommendation list at the Homestuck Discord, after the original comic ended in 2016. We were all desperately looking for more stories like it, because with that awful ending, it hardly felt like we had finished anything. [...]

There’s an interesting disconnect between it and this blog. I’ve reviewed some of its featured works upon reread, but the vast majority remains untouched, to the point I highly doubt many of you know it exists. This post will bridge that gap: I’m going to write at least one short review per work in every category of the list.

Read the full post here.

Day 33: Happy Birthday, Hero

#pokemon special #pokespe #specialshipping #trainer red #trainer yellow #my art #yellow may not be there physically but they’re there in symbolism. earth/moon specifically #I see red as someone who never wanted to lead. who originally was a kid forced into fighting circumstances #and that his nature is that of an observer #someone who witnesses and orbits #who wants to live the vibrant world of another - yellow of course #but feels like he can only watch. he’s a moon. a chunk torn from the whole #anyway happy birthday red
