This video zooms out from ESO's headquarters, out to Germany, beyond Europe & the Earth, out past the Solar System and our Milky Way galaxy, reaching a point where every single point of light flashing by is an entire galaxy

What can we learn by drilling a spring mound in @tulelakenps? A lot! Springs in the Las Vegas Valley record dynamic changes in groundwater levels in response to hydroclimate variations. 💧 See for yourself! 👉 ow.ly/EYHM50NkvJi

This is not our first BLIZZARD WARNING ever issued. This is the first since VTEC coding was implemented in 2006.
Due to the potential for strong winds and heavy snow, a BLIZZARD WARNING was issued for the #LACounty and #VenturaCounty mountains from 4 am Friday to 4 pm Saturday. Snow accumulations up to 5 feet and wind gusts in excess of 55 mph are expected. #CAsnow #CAwx

A M6.4 earthquake has occurred south of Eureka, CA in northern CA (Humboldt Co.). Additional shaking from aftershocks is expected in the region. We are continuing to monitor this event, so check back for additional information. #Humboldt #earthquake

Tomorrow is #ShakeOut Day. For 14 years, we have used this day to remember that a big earthquake will happen on some random day in our future. After the drill, use the day to do one more thing for earthquake safety. podbean.com/ew/pb-br9eh-eed4…

Today's Mira Loma quake is a very standard SoCal quake. It's in the Fontana trend - a lineation of quakes running SW from San Bernardino. We think it is a left-lateral fault covered by sediments.

Chapter: EARTH & MOON
If light from a full Moon converts your genetic profile into a wild canine, consider that moonlight is simply reflected sunlight. So if the Moon turns you into a werewolf at night, then so should the Sun in the daytime.

— A rampant gun fetish - a perversion - that feeds a violent society aided and abetted by lax gun policy, feckless politicians, and hateful ideologies - that’s what kills kids, and teachers, church-goers, people of color, and shoppers, and people just going about their day.

Books are not killing kids. CRT (actually not a in the curriculum) does not harm kids. History, even uncomfortable truths & facts, doesn’t destroy students. Masks never killed a kid. Affirming LGBTQ students safely in school never ended a child’s life.
But what does?

BREAKING: CA will require our kids to get the COVID-19 vaccine to come to school.
This will go into effect following full FDA approval.
Our schools already require vaccines for measles, mumps and more. Why? Because vaccines work.
This is about keeping our kids safe & healthy.

The M3.6 near Mojave is located very close (maybe on - can't be certain for the small ones) to the Garlock fault. The Garlock is one of the longest and fastest faults in California, but at the south end of the Sierra Nevada, very few people live near it.

“This will be one of the strongest hurricanes to hit anywhere in Louisiana since at least the 1850s,” Gov. John Bel Edwards said as Hurricane Ida targets the state. cnn.it/3ksIxQ2
