Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of Saturn, taken about one month ago.
Original caption: Saturn is by far the solar system’s most photogenic planet, and in this latest Hubble Space Telescope snapshot it is especially so because Saturn’s magnificent ring system is near its maximum tilt toward Earth (which was in 2017).
Hubble was used to observe the planet on June 6, 2018, when Saturn was only approximately 1.36 billion miles from Earth, nearly as close to us as it ever gets.
Saturn was photographed as it approached a June 27 opposition, when the planet is directly opposite to the Sun in the night sky and is at its yearly closest distance to the Earth. Though all of the gas giants boast rings, Saturn’s are the largest and most spectacular, stretching out eight times the radius of the planet.
Saturn’s stunning rings were first identified as a continuous disk around the planet by Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens in 1655. 325 years later, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft flyby of Saturn resolved thousands of thin, fine ringlets. Data from NASA’s Cassini mission suggests the rings formed 200 million years ago, roughly around the time of the dinosaurs and Earth’s Jurassic period. The gravitational disintegration of one of Saturn’s small moons created myriad icy debris particles, and collisions today likely continually replenish the rings.
Visible in this Hubble image are the classic rings as recorded by early skywatchers. From the outside in are the A ring with the Encke Gap, the Cassini Division, the B ring, and the C ring with the Maxwell Gap.
Saturn’s appearance changes due to its seasons, caused by the planet’s 27-degree axial tilt. It is now summer in Saturn’s northern hemisphere and the atmosphere is more active. This may be responsible for a string of bright clouds visible near the northern polar region that are the remnants of a disintegrating storm. Small, mid-latitude puffs of clouds are also visible. Hubble’s view also resolves a hexagonal pattern around the north pole, a stable and persistent wind feature discovered during the Voyager flyby in 1981.
Saturn’s colors come from hydrocarbon hazes above the ammonia crystals in the upper cloud layers. Unseen lower-level clouds are either ammonium hydrosulfide or water. The planet’s banded structure is caused by the winds and the clouds at different altitudes.
This is the first image of Saturn taken as part of the Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) project. OPAL is helping scientists understand the atmospheric dynamics and evolution of our solar system’s gas giant planets.

Future System's Birmingham Selfridges store was inspired by the famous 60's chainmail dress by Paco Rabanne worn by twiggy I think. Like this one. It's more curvatious than twiggy and the conceit only works from a few angles - this is one of them. The rest of the time it looks like it needs a few years in the gym.

Postojna Cave is a 20,570 m long Karst cave system near Postojna, Slovenia. It is the longest cave system in the country as well as one of its top tourism sites. The caves were created by the Pivka River.
The cave was first described in the 17th century by Johann Weichard Valvasor, and a new area of the cave was discovered accidentally in 1818 by local Luka Čeč, when he was preparing the hitherto known parts of the cave for a visit by Francis I, the first Emperor of Austria. In 1819, the caves were opened to the public, and Čeč went on to become the first official tourist guide for the caves. Electric lighting was added in 1884, preceding even Ljubljana, the capital of Carniola, the Austro-Hungarian province the cave was part of at the time, and further enhancing the cave system's popularity. In 1872 rails were laid in the cave along with first cave train for tourists. At first, these were pushed along by the guides themselves, later at the beginning of the 20th century a gas locomotive was introduced. After 1945, the gas locomotive was replaced by an electric one. 5.3 km of the caves are open to the public, the longest publicly accessible depth of any cave system in the world.
HARLOW SHAPLEY FBI considered him a risk
A man are largely responsible for our current understanding of the structure of the universe and the solar system’s place in it. But to the FBI, Shapley was a dangerous character.
That’s in the massive file, too.
FBI agents recorded the addresses of every piece of mail that Shapley sent or received. Extraordinary surveillance was just part of the seven years of government spying on Shapley that ended in 1953, a year after he retired as Harvard College Observatory’s director.
The FBI even spied on the 1946 convention of the American Association of Variable Star Observers, which Shapley attended. He has an inherent dislike for authority, and will invariably do the opposite to what he is told or supposed to do.’” Shapley had made his reputation with one of the most monumental discoveries in astronomy since Copernicus’ displacement of the Earth. Using observations of Cepheid variable stars in globular clusters that he made at Mt. Wilson from 1914 to 1921, Shapley radically revised the scale of the Space estimated, after a few revisions, that the Sun and its planets were some 30,000 light years from the galaxy’s true center, which he correctly located in the direction of Sagittarius.
The daily Sun printed Shapley’s notes verbatim — coarse words and all. “Consequently, [the politician] wanted to murder me and blow up everybody,” Shapley wrote.
He then won a fellowship to study with Henry Norris Russell, the country’s foremost astronomer, at Princeton. Under Russell, Shapley made his reputation for solving the orbits of binary star systems through the use of complex equations. That landed him a research job at Mt. Wilson, which began in 1914.
Using the 60- and 100-inch telescopes at the observatory north of Los Angeles, Shapley made his great discovery about the Milky Way Galaxy’s
In 1952, Shapley reached Harvard’s mandatory retirement, stepped down from his post at the observatory. He had overseen massive projects produced by 25 large telescopes around the world, including the Shapley-Ames Catalog of External Galaxies. And the FBI continued to keep an eye on him
In February 1924 Edwin Hubble wrote to Shapley about his discovery of two Cepheid variables in the Andromeda nebula, M 31. Shapley responded that the letter was “the most entertaining literature I have seen for a long time,” and promised to send a revised period-luminosity curve. THE Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society has been awarded to Dr. Harlow Shapley for his studies of the structure and dimensions of the galactic system. Dr. Shapley, has been director of Harvard College Observatory and Paine professor of astronomy at Harvard since 1921, known particularly the relation between the period of variation and the absolute magnitude of Cepheid variable stars. The apparent magnitude of the Cepheid variables in a globular cluster is measured and compared with the known absolute magnitude of a Cepheid of the same period, and from this the distance of the cluster is obtained immediately, provided absorption of light in interstellar space is negligible. In 1915–18 he published a noteworthy series of papers on researches on the globular clusters, which brought these objects prominently before astronomers.
That enabled astronomers to calculate a star's distance from Earth, and in 1918 allowed Harlow Shapley, who would become Pickering's successor, to extend the boundaries of the Milky Way.
Nature, Nov 22, 2016
Just before World War I, Harlow Shapley of Missouri devised a technique for measuring the distances to the globular clusters, those lovely spherical arrays of stars which resemble a swarm of bees.
Cosmos
Harlow Shapley, who wrote an article in 1919 on the subject, was an astronomer, responsible for the detection of the redshift in distant nebulae and hence, indirectly, for our present concept of an expanding universe.
Scientific American, Oct 20, 2013
The article traces its roots to 1929, when Harlow Shapley said, “We organic beings who call ourselves humans are made of the same stuff as the stars.”
New York Times, Aug 12, 2013
In 1928, astronomer Harlow Shapley correctly concluded that the two stars were about equal in mass.

A large, powerful storm system/low pressure area brings gusty winds & widespread rainfall to San Jose, CA overnight. Even a high wind warning was issued for our area overnight (from Friday, February 1-Saturday, February 2, 2019) as the storm system's main frontal system passed thru... During the day on Saturday, winds died down with hit & miss showers around NorCal and the Bay Area, along with a few t-storms around the Central Valley. Even a tornado warning was issued around the Chowchilla area Saturday afternoon! Here, more widespread moderate to heavy rain was witnessed come early evening... Drive safe out there, everyone! Footage filmed during the post-midnight hours of Saturday, February 2, 2019.
*Weather scenario/update for the beginning days of February 2019:
The strongest storm of the season had battered California with flooding rains, damaging winds & thunderstorms… Following a weak system, a far more dynamically impressive system had followed Friday/Saturday. This event featured a rapidly-strengthening surface low near the North Coast. This kind of set-up had the potential to bring very strong winds to parts of NorCal. Such events are subject to uncertainty right up to the day of the event. Luckily, this event had produced winds that were a bit less severe than expected in the Bay Area Friday evening, though local gusts were still damaging (which caused our neighbor’s dead birch tree to fall on our fence/shed). Some gusts were impressive at least for the standards of my area. In addition to the risk of damaging winds in NorCal, the presence of a favorable jet dynamics have created a rather impressive cold frontal passage. Torrential downpours, strong southerly winds & t-storms have occurred in NorCal during the frontal passage with numerous t-storm activity in the Central Valley areas behind the front due to an unstable air mass left behind especially on Saturday & into Sunday. After this large storm passed, another colder system had dipped south from the Pacific Northwest into our state bringing snow levels down to near sea level in local areas of the Bay Area. The weather was to get quite interesting heading into Tuesday morning…
The Russell Carhouse houses approximately half the TTC's streetcars. The facility is located is located on Queen Street East near the intersection with Greenwood Ave. and services half the system's streetcar routes.

Getting covid a few days after my jab was one of my immune system's party pieces, I tell you. Fortunately, it didn't hit me as bad as I feared (thanks to the jab or perhaps due to taking Vitamin D tablets every day) but I'm not going to be rushing out tomorrow morning, flinging off my clothes and singing with the parakeets. No.
I may do that next Sunday, though.

7.3.13 | At a press conference this morning, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio called on the City’s Department of Investigation to immediately probe reports of “lost calls” in the new 911 computer system that could potentially delay response times and put New Yorkers at risk. Internal emails unearthed today indicate an estimated 1/4 to 1/3 of incidents transmitted to the new ICAD computer system in the days after its launch were designated as so-called “lost calls.”
In a letter to the Department of Investigation sent today, de Blasio urged the agency to conduct an immediate and independent investigation. Despite mounting evidence, the Bloomberg Administration has repeatedly denied any technical problems with the 911 system.

Battleship IOWA is well-know by the number on her bow. The ship designator and hull number system's roots extend back to the late 1880s, when ship type serial numbers were assigned to most of the new-construction warships of the emerging "Steel Navy". During the course of the next thirty years, these same numbers were combined with filing codes used by the Navy's clerks to create an informal version of the system that was put in place in 1920. Limited usage of ship numbers goes back even earlier, most notably to the "Jeffersonian Gunboats" of the early 1800s and the "Tinclad" river gunboats of the Civil War Mississippi Squadron.

Seen Here: The PCB out of the bag!
So, today my PCB for the LED matrix arrived from BatchPCB! For what I paid, the PCB arrived fairly quickly - I ordered it on the 15/02 I believe, and it arrived 11/03 -- 26 days, which is pretty good (they state 19 business days).
The quality is very, very impressive - far better than anything I could pull off at home. The silkscreen and soldermask makes it look really nice, too.
Soldering it was a joy, although there was a LOT to solder and it's all surface mounted.
I had a few problems at first; it wasn't lighting the matrix at all properly but I soon realised with my new design (transistors on the cathodes) I have to write the transistors HIGH to get a LOW on the cathode, so a quick line of code changed to get that working.
Then for some reason the top half of every letter was flipped. It turns out this was my fault: I messed up when making the package for the LED matrix in Eagle, swapping the matrix's 5th cathode for my system's 8th, 6th for 7th, 7th for 6th and 8th for 5th. This was fairly easy to fix in code, however.
Finally USB isn't working to program or communicate, but I can configure the FT232RL chip (after all, it's sending the clock pulse that's driving my ATmega168). I think I have an idea of what's causing this, but I'm not sure yet.

1st Generation
The first generation of DD-IRM (later to be called VIRM) were delivered from 1994 to 1996 as three and four car units. The three car units were delivered in the 82xx class and the four car units delivered as 84xx. The first batch of 290 double deck coaches (individual) were delivered. The first 47 were built by De Dietrich and from then on by Talbot at the now closed works in Aachen, Germany.
In 2000 an order was placed for new coaches in order to upgrade 3 car sets to 4 car sets, and the 4 car sets upgraded to 6 car sets. This is why they are now called VIRM (V = verlengd - extended). These were renumbered into the 94xx series and the 86xx series. These sets were formed between 2001 and 2005.
2nd Generation
The second generation of VIRM were new sets built to the 4 and 6 coach formations, at the same time as the first generation were rebuilt. These were numbered 95xx (4 car units) and 87xx (6 car units). These sets featured different seats, which were also in the new coaches placed inside the first generation sets.
3rd Generation:
These sets were delivered from June 2008 and these are all 4 car units. They are numbered 9547 - 9596. These sets differ in that they do not feature the catering lift, meaning the stairs could be wider and the destination screens inside the coaches have been replaced with full LCD information screens.
