Multiple levels (parallel planes; rock surface curves down to right) of slickensided fault surfaces in an outcrop of Marron Fm. andesitic volcanic rock (in south-central British Columbia), with one of my fingers for scale. Above my finger, the lighter coloured material is a mineral vein (fluid flowed along a fault plane and mineral precipitated from solution) with a patchy distribution now because it is partly eroded away.
The slickenlines present have two different groove lineation directions, diagonal down to the left and down to the right in both the purplish-brown host rock and the light brown vein material. They record two different steep (sub-vertical) directions of fault motion at this site back in the Eocene (ca. 50 million years ago), a time of post-orogenic normal faulting in this part of western Canada.

found this book in the library, been wanting to read it ever since I got into the Strobist movement..

To Hypatia, who edited the work "On the Conics of Apollonius", which divided cones into different parts by a plane.
"Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend.To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.
Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all." Hypatia (born c. 355 CE—died March 415)

have read that air traffic has not only returned to pre-Corona/Covid levels, but has exceeded it ! - hoped this would not happen ...
China is building 20 new airports and the Indians are buying airplanes without end ... but the Americans are world champions and the greatest in wasting energy and with Trump they will certainly be greater than ever ...
new findings show that Europe is warming more than the rest of the world ... by the end of the century temperatures could be around 50°C (122.0 °F) in summer ...
we love perpetual economic growth and others are also entitled to our prosperity ... or not ? ...

neue Erkenntnisse zeigen, dass sich Europa stärker erwärmt, als der Rest der Welt ... am Ende des Jahrhunderts können Temperature um die 50°C im Sommer enstehen ... aber vielleicht werden dass die Kipppunkte vorher verhindern ...

Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie in Paris is the biggest science museum in Europe.
This is view from the back of the museum looking over the garden and the theatre.

...is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet,
but soon will, and will change everything for everybody,
and nothing will ever be the same again.
As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world
you are writing science fiction.
It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible.

Well......Science fiction is one of my favorite genres of books and movies.....
The name NEMO has been used throughout history by many famous authors to describe events and people who find themselves on the border between fantasy and reality. In Latin nemo means ‘no one’ and indicates a world between fantasy and reality. Visitors to NEMO science centre can become a scientist, technologist or technician for a day. Suddenly dreams are real.

He's already back on Earth, but I took this picture of Mike doing some science last week because it looked so cool. On the Space Station we have a tight schedule and all of us are always doing different things. Often we don't know exactly what the other person is doing, and it is a testament to the planners at mission control that they ensure we don't get in each other's way all the time. Think of all the constraints, from power, to vibrations, equipment, time and physical space inside the Station, during the week we were 11 of us it was hectic but we also got so much done. Mike was packing the RTPCG-2 experiment for its return to Earth, it involves growing protein crystals in space that are helping researchers identify new ways of making medicine.
Il est déjà de retour sur Terre, mais j'aime bien cette photo de Mike prise la semaine dernière. Je n'avais aucune idée de l'expérience sur laquelle il travaillait : ça reflète bien notre quotidien. À bord de la Station, les plannings sont très serrés et tout le monde s'affaire sans arrêt. Le plus souvent, on ne sait même pas ce que font les autres astronautes. Au centre de contrôle, nos planneurs travaillent durs pour éviter qu'on ait besoin des mêmes équipements ensemble. Et à 11 la semaine dernière, on leur a donné du fil à retordre ! Alimentation électrique, disponibilité des équipements, vibrations ou même simplement le fait d'avoir assez d'espace physique pour travailler : il y a énormément de contraintes à prendre en compte. J'ai fini par lui poser la question : Mike rangeait l'expérience RTPCG-2 avant de la ramener sur Terre. Elle sert à étudie la croissance de cristaux de protéines en impesanteur. À terme, elle devrait aider les chercheurs à découvrir de nouveaux moyens de fabriquer des médicaments.
