#atmospheric layers

[wayti-blog]

"Two University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists have discovered a new type of "whistler," an electromagnetic wave that carries a substantial amount of lightning energy to the Earth's magnetosphere. The research is published today in Science Advances."

"The wave carries lightning energy, which enters the ionosphere at low latitudes, to the magnetosphere. The energy is reflected upward by the ionosphere's lower boundary, at about 55 miles altitude, in the opposite hemisphere.

It was previously believed, the authors write, that lightning energy entering the ionosphere at low latitudes remained trapped in the ionosphere and therefore was not reaching the radiation belts. The belts are two layers of charged particles surrounding the planet and held in place by Earth's magnetic field."

"Review of plasma wave data from the Van Allen Probes showed that specularly reflected whistlers are a common magnetospheric phenomenon."

I've been replaying the Rusty Lake games while streaming them for a friend. We got all the way to Birthday, which started to get my gears turning, and before I knew it this happened.

Here are some naughty little detail shots:

natlan 5.1 was batshit insane but i won't deny cookery when i see it. last 1/3 of the archon quest is just brilliantly done in my opinion, from writing to level design to soundtrack. just genuine excellence

hey fromsoft. hey. hi. hello. HEY. would you like to explain to me? how is Radahn not only alive, but younger? not even asking about that other golden bullshit hovering around him, just this simple ask. how. is. radahn. alive. and. younger.

i woke up today and my entire dash was parkour civilisation and so in an effort to not be late to something for the first time ever i sat down and watched… to sum up my thoughts the nature of humanity is so that

What inspired your currently coloring style? I'd love to know your process and who/what inspired you to gain such a beautiful way of depicting your characters. What is your process for practicing anatomy as well? Love your stuff!

THANK YOUUU I've always chased the Movie Screenshot look but im recently working on the barrel of worms that is color theory and the way lighting/shadows affect different surfaces. My go to rn is rim light sksksk but im kinda itching to do more challenging lighting scenarios its just a matter of pin pointing What to study and taking the time 🤙 so i guess a movie look and noticing interesting lighting/shadows throughout my day and trying to apply that in drawing form 🤘 as for the anatomy I like to take a scientific approach to it like studying the muscles and where they stack up, how they can move even down to the positioning of the tib and fib, or just real life references or hell sometimes i gotta look at my own arm to grasp wtf a pose is lmfao but i also recommend loose gesture drawing and grasping the overall flow of a pose or limb it rlly helps keep your hand loose and relaxed and can piece the drawing together easier and faster

im gonna be honest i dont care that the eggs bedrooms at NINHO look super scary rn. NINHO is a nuclear bunker built for survival, and that should ALWAYS be the #1 priority when building a space meant to be safe. If it isn't safe, then it has failed as a safe space, just by definition. That SAID- gaining functionality doesn't mean they have to give up a nice room entirely. There's still ways to decorate. The space has to be different now, but remember that each room started out as a double-block layered square box. even a nuclear bunker can have paintings on the wall

"Pictured here are gigantic jets shooting up from a thunderstorm last week toward the Himalayan Mountains in China and Bhutan. The composite image captured four long jets that occurred only minutes apart. Gigantic jets, documented only in this century, are a type of lightning discharge that occurs between some thunderstorms and the Earth's ionosphere high above them. They are an unusual type of lightning that is much different from regular cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning. The bottoms of gigantic jets appear similar to a cloud-to-above strike called blue jets, while the tops appear similar to upper-atmosphere red sprites. Although the mechanism and trigger that cause gigantic jets remains a topic of research, it is clear that the jets reduce charge imbalance between different parts of Earth's atmosphere. A good way to look for gigantic jets is to watch a powerful but distant thunderstorm from a clear location."
