Les Archives de la Terre
Au crépuscule, plongé dans la contemplation du paysage fabuleux du canyon, ma pensée trouva à se poser sur une simple interrogation : Que cherche à me dire ce paysage?…
_________
Ici, le long labeur du temps, nous a laissé des archives de ce qui fut, sous la forme de strates de sédiments marins et terrestres, de débris de formes de vies diverses, d’un âge compris entre 200 millions et 2 milliards d’années…
Ces sols ont été transportés ici sur des milliers de kilomètres et soulevés 3000 mètres par des forces colossales, que l’esprit humain peine à imaginer.
Les sciences ont cumulé un grand corpus de connaissances au sujet du « comment » se sont formées les Archives de la Terre, ici et ailleurs. Mais, l’énigme de la vie elle-même, nous reste toujours caché par un voile de mystère.

J’ai ressenti une grande humilité devant cette scène, devant les forces déployées par l’évolution, durant …le long labeur du temps.
Alors, serait-il à propos de se demander si « Homo Deus » pourra relever le défi planétaire du climat, en le considérant comme un simple problème de gestion d’un habitat humain? Comme un problème, pouvant être résolu par la technologie, les savoirs faire humains usuels et l’intercession de la diplomatie internationale?
Il n’existe, en ce monde, rien de supérieur au monde lui-même. C’est le premier enseignement des Archives de la Terre.

The Earth Archive
At dusk, immersed in the contemplation of the fabulous landscape of the canyon, my thoughts found a simple question: What is this landscape trying to tell me?…
_________
Here, the long labor of time has left us archives of what was, in the form of strata of marine and terrestrial sediments, debris of various forms of life, of an age between 200 million and 2 billion years…
These soils have been transported here over thousands of kilometers and lifted 3000 meters by colossal forces, which the human mind can hardly imagine.
The sciences have accumulated a large body of knowledge about “how” the Earth Archives was formed, here and elsewhere. But the enigma of life itself always remains hidden from us by a veil of mystery.

I felt a great humility in front of this scene, in front of the forces deployed by evolution, during… the long labor of time.
So, would it be appropriate to ask whether “Homo Deus” will be able to meet the planetary climate challenge, considering it as a simple problem of managing a human habitat? Is it a problem, which can be solved by technology, the usual human know-how, and the intercession of international diplomacy?
There is nothing in this world greater than the world itself. This is the first teaching of the Archives of the Earth.

I gaze through the wormhole, fixed in space, experiencing the thrilling speed of of the citrus grove as it rushes past, propelled by the earth's movement, spinning and circling the sun, an ancient, frenetic dance set in motion long, long ago.
I close the wormhole and return to reading today's copy of the New York Times. Ah, a revival of Pippin opens this weekend. I must go.

this was a pre-dawn shot from last weekend, I was trying for that "silky" water effect but an added bonus was catching the planetary alignment of Jupiter, Mercury & Venus still visible in the top left corner. Lucky thing, don't think I'll be around for the next one !
Standing by the sea, I look out into infinity.
My gaze sweeps from left to right, and I can see almost 180 degrees. With my own eyes, I can observe the curvature of the horizon. I’ve come face to face with the planet.
It does something to you, to see it with your own eyes, this incomprehensible scale of the ocean. It's liberating. You let go of left-brain knowledge and lose yourself in awe.
Our ancient ancestors all the way back to the first animals have been seeing oceans just like this, and if there are other living worlds out there, they may have similar watery expanses.
Standing by the sea, I feel the oneness of it all. I feel connected to eternity.

"Planetary by My Chrmical Romance"
There might be something outside your window
But you'll just never know
There could be something right past the turnpike gates
But you'll just never know
If my velocity starts to make you sweat
Then just don't let go
And if their heaven ain't got a vacancy
Then we just, then we just, then we just
Then we just get up and go!

Compositionally Challenged: Week 24 What is it?
Obviously not planetary rings.......
a faint and ancient planetary nebula located in the constellation Camelopardalis, also known as the Giraffe. With an expansive diameter of over one light-year, HFG1 is the remnant of a dying star that has shed its outer layers. Due to its age, it is relatively diffuse and faint, making it a challenging target for observation. The nebula is of particular interest due to the binary system at its core, consisting of a white dwarf and a companion star, which produces a prominent wake as the system moves through space.
Nearby, Abell 6 is another planetary nebula, cataloged in George Abell’s survey of planetary nebulae. Like HFG1, it is located in Camelopardalis, though it is visually smaller and slightly younger. Abell 6 is known for its spherical structure and distinct shell of ionized gas. Both HFG1 and Abell 6 offer unique insights into the late stages of stellar evolution, contributing valuable data for astronomers studying the life cycle of stars.
