Dacians: Empire of Gold and Silver, exhibition in the museum of Assen.
The Dacians : were the ancient Indo-European inhabitants of the cultural region of Dacia, located in the area near the Carpathian Mountains and west of the Black Sea. They are often considered a subgroup of the Thracians. This area includes mainly the present-day countries of Romania and Moldova, as well as parts of Ukraine, Eastern Serbia, Northern Bulgaria, Slovakia, Hungary and Southern Poland. The Dacians and the related Getae spoke the Dacian language, which has a debated relationship with the neighbouring Thracian language and may be a subgroup of it.Dacians were somewhat culturally influenced by the neighbouring Scythians and by the Celtic invaders of the 4th century BC
NGC 2359 (also known as Thor's Helmet) is an emission nebula in the constellation Canis Major. The nebula is approximately 11.96 thousand light years away and 30 light-years in size. The central star is the Wolf-Rayet star WR7, an extremely hot giant thought to be in a brief pre-supernova stage of evolution. It is similar in nature to the Bubble Nebula, but interactions with a nearby large molecular cloud are thought to have contributed to the more complex shape and curved bow-shock structure of Thor's Helmet.
It is also catalogued as Sharpless 2-298 and Gum 4.
The nebula has an overall bubble shape, but with complex filamentary structures. The nebula contains several hundred solar masses of ionised material, plus several thousand more of unionised gas. It is largely interstellar material swept up by winds from the central star, although some material does appear to be enriched with the products of fusion and is likely to come directly from the star.The expansion rate of different portions of the nebula varies from 10km/s to at least 30km/s, leading to age estimates of 78,500 - 236,000 years. The nebula has been studied at radio and x-ray wavelengths, but it is still unclear whether it was produced at the class O main sequence stage of development, as a red supergiant, luminous blue variable, or mainly as a Wolf-Rayet star.

Himalayan balsam (Impatiens glandulifera) is considered extremely invasive to lowland riparian areas such as moist forests, riverbanks and roadside thickets. It was introduced in the early 1800s as an ornamental planting that has since escaped into natural areas across much of the Northern Hemisphere.

The Zeche Zollverein was a coal mine that was in operation from 1851 to 1986. It is considered Germany's most famous industrial monument. In 2026, the site will celebrate the 25th anniversary of its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Taking photos at Lake Roland in Baltimore on a densely foggy New Years Day, I was drawn to the sight of a biker taking a break at the side of the lake, but the intensely red helmet stole the scene.
Here are Darlene and I helmet diving a few miles off the coast of Somerset, Bermuda. The hog fish (Lachnolaimus maximus) is Charles. Hog fish are sequential hermaphrodites, meaning they change gender during their life.

Cats probably wouldn’t need 9 lives if they wore
tiny little helmets and didn’t smoke cigarettes.
