Howard County Library System's Evening in the Stacks held on February 22, 2014 at the Miller Branch.
A hazardous rainy drive overnight in and around the city. Very strong & gusty southerly winds & heavy rain were observed as this strongly awaited atmospheric river/storm system’s main cold front made ‘landfall’ in the Bay Area. This was indeed the strongest storm so far this season for the region. Conditions outside looked like a tropical storm! Certainly, this was a stormy night for the region. The Sierras were also looking at feet of snowfall before all this is said & done. This evening was just the 1st part of the storm. More heavy rain & wind was in store for the state over the next day or two as this atmospheric river was forecast to inch back north towards the South Bay the very next day... Things would finally die down by Friday. Stay safe out there, everyone! (Video taken Wednesday, January 27, 2021)
*Weather forecast/update: A strong Pacific storm, or atmospheric river, was expected to bring periods of moderate to heavy rain to the region. This system was forecast to arrive by Tuesday (Jan 26) & was to bring periods of heavy rain & high winds. This will likely result in an increased risk of mudslides over steep terrain, debris flow over wildfire burned areas, as well as localized ponding of water in low-lying areas. Up to 3 inches of rain was expected in urban areas & 3-7 inches possible over higher terrain. The entire area from Napa south thru Monterey & San Benito Counties would get a good soaking from this atmospheric river. Latest model guidance suggests the coastal slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains & Big Sur look to be the primary target of the heaviest rain. On top of this, a high wind watch was also in effect during the period. South winds 20-30 mph with gusts up to 50-60 mph are possible. North Bay, San Francisco Bay Shoreline, East Bay, Santa Cruz Mountains, and the South Bay will all be affected. Timing of the strongest winds are forecast to happen Tuesday evening thru Wednesday morning as this strong system’s cold front sweeps thru. Damaging winds can blow down trees & power lines which may result in power outages… Stay tuned to the latest forecast for the most up-to-date weather info online…

URT-11 is the eleventh in a series of Artemis recovery tests, and the first time NASA and its partners put their Artemis II recovery procedures to the test with the astronauts.

On Neptune it rains diamonds. The Solar system's other blue planet is a strange and distant world but one day we will go there and live in the clouds if we have the intelligence and courage to meet the challenge of the vastness of space. Humans could survive in the temperate zone of Neptune's atmosphere where there is liquid water and harvest the gems from the ocean of liquid diamonds far below. Someday space diamonds will be the height of fashion and a symbol that we are ready to go to the stars.

Dramatic edge-on Cassini views of Saturn's E ring, like these side-by-side
images, reveal for the first time a double-banded structure. The structure
is similar to that of Jupiter's gossamer ring and to the bands of dust
found within the solar system's asteroid belt. Scientists believe that the
E ring particles have their origins in the geysers erupting from the south
polar of Enceladus.
The double-banded appearance exists because there are fewer particles
close to the ring plane than 500 to 1,000 kilometers (300 to 600 miles)
above and below. This circumstance can arise if the particles making up
the ring encircle Saturn on inclined orbits with a very restricted range
of inclinations.
This special condition might exist for two reasons. One possibility is
that the particles being jetted out of Enceladus and injected into Saturn
orbit may begin their journey around Saturn with a certain velocity, and
consequently a restricted range of inclinations, with respect to the ring
plane. Another is that the particles may begin with a large range of
inclinations, but those orbiting very close to the ring plane get
gravitationally scattered and removed from that region by the passage of
Enceladus.
Scientists will continue to observe the E ring from various angles to
confirm and understand the structure.
Most of the bright specks in the images are background stars, although a
few are cosmic ray hits on the camera's detector.
The two images were taken five hours apart on Dec. 1, 2005, when Cassini
was approximately 1.9 million kilometers (1.2 million miles) from Saturn.
The image scale on the sky at the distance of Saturn is about 220
kilometers (137 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages
the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The
Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and
assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space
Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

Photo showing an impression of Interface I at POSTCITY.
Interface I by Ralf Baecker investigates the boundary between two interacting systems rendered into the physical. One system is a compound of motors, twine and elastic bands arranged horizontally. Each motor is connected to its opposing motor in the facing system by a string, and to its neighbors by an elastic thread. In order to excite the system’s behavior, each motor is fed with random impulses from a Geiger-Müller tube.
