Een ceo van biotech bedrijf in NL krijgt 205.000.000 bonus (!l. Dat geld komt ergens vandaan. Het wordt met omzet gegenereerd, aan bedrijven, die verdienen hun geld aan de consument, u en ik dus. Daar moeten ruim 4.000 gezinnen een jaar voor werken. Zij werken dus voor zijn 205 mln. Roofkapitalisme

Het was lang hartstikke spannend, maar meer dan verdiend dat Trump toch heeft gewonnen. Goed dat de FIFA dit transparant, fair en onafhankelijk heeft georganiseerd. Precies volgens de waarden waarvoor de voetbalorganisatie zich al jaren inzet.

Lezen deze 🧵. Het laat de zendingsdrang zien van radicaal rechts in de VS om hun visie op 'vrijheid' (= vrijheid om te plunderen) ook aan ons op te dringen.

The stanning of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS in this account continues

That's an under-appreciated impact of #AMOC shutdown, of particular concern given the recent results showing much higher likelihood of this. 1/2

Een komeet? Nee, dit is de planeet Mercurius. Hij heeft een uiterst ijle dampkring waaruit de druk van het zonlicht natriumatomen wegblaast. De staart is alleen te zien met een filter dat het licht van natrium op de golflengte van 589 nm door laat. Foto Steven Bellavia. Bron spaceweather.com
The image shows a dark starry sky and a bright comet-like object with a very sharply edged tail. The comet is planet Mercury. The tail consists of sodium atoms blown away from the planet's extreme thin atmosphere by the pressure of light particles (fotons) from the sun. This light pressure is the same force which drives solar sails in space. Steven Bellavia from Surry, Virginia, took this image. The tail is only visible during a few weeks around the time Mercury reaches its closest point of its orbit around the sun. The tail shines in light of sodium at a wavelength of 589 nanometres. You have to use a filter for just this wavelength to make the tail visible. It has been photographed by amateur astronomers from earth before. The tail was discovered only in 2001.

4 December 1939 | A Jewish girl Magdalena Dora Blau was born in Rotterdam in the Netherlands to Fritz and Mina.

On 11 August 1942 she was murdered in a gas chamber at the #Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp.

Hubble reobserved interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS on November 30. At the time, the comet was about 178 million miles (286 million kilometers) from Earth.

Hubble tracked the comet as it moved across the sky. As a result, background stars appear as streaks of light: https://go.nasa.gov/4iCU2lH 🔭 🧪
An image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope showing the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. The comet is a small white dot in the center of the image, with a light blue halo of light that takes up most of the image. Other stars are shown streaking across the image as diagonal blue-white lines.

Cape Hatteras and the Pamlico Sound in North Carolina in sunglint view in this image taken by astronaut Zena Cardman from space station #ISS on 22 November 2025. Original eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... @daveatcogs.bsky.social
The portrait format image shows a coastline full of barriers and lagoons, appearing as silhouettes because of all the sunlight reflected of the water in the lagoons and the offshore ocean. Clouds and their shadows at left and lower right.

A large field of low cloud drifted into southern Argentina around the Golfe de San Juan. This early morning image was taken by astronaut Mike Fincke from space station #ISS on 22 November 2025. Image enhanced. Original eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... @daveatcogs.bsky.social
The image shows an oblique view over brownish land at left and at top. In the centre of the image a large irregular shaped cloud field is visible, hanging mainly over the Atlantic Ocean at bottom. Shadows from clouds at upper right indicate a low sun angle. At lower right a small part of the space station is reflected in the window through wich the image was taken. In the course of the day the low clouds which reached over land dissolved.

Small low pressure area over the Caspian Sea at bottom, and extensive fields of fog over Azerbaijan (in centre) and Iran (further towards upper left). Image taken by astronaut Zena Cardman from space station #ISS on 23 November 2025. Original eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... @daveatcogs.bsky.social
The image shows an oblique view over a very haze part of Earth. At bottom a cloud swirl indicates a snmall low pressure area, with some sunglint off the Caspian Sea (at bottom), turning the sea surface bright. Azerbaijan (with Baku on the coast left of centre) and northwestern Iran are rather dark in the image, with a large area of fuzzy looking fog in the centre of the image and more bright looking fog and low cloud towards upper left. At top is the curved horizon of Earth and the blackness of space above it.

An impressive dump of sediments by the Irrawady (in the delta at right) and the Sittaung (in the estuary at left and Gulf of Martaban) rivers, Myanmar. Image taken by astronaut Mike Fincke from space station #ISS on 22 November 2025. Original eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... @daveatcogs.bsky.social
The image shows an oblique view on an estuary at left and a delta at right. The rivers in the estuary and delta carry sediments to the sea, visible as a large brown area in the blue sea. At right is a part of a docked Soyuz space capsule.

De #Zon vandaag. De groep van drie grote zonnevlekken links onder het midden vertoont weinig activiteit, dus vooralsnog ook weinig kans op een uitbarsting. De groep werd op 25 november door de Marsrobot Perseverance gefotografeerd toen hij voor ons nog niet te zien was. @leonoor.bsky.social
The image shows the sun with a number of dark spots, sunspots. Below and left of centre is an elonggated group is several very big sunspots. The image shows the Sun as photographed from the surface of planet Mars, showing several sun spots. Below centre is the big group which is also visible in the previous image. The image is strongly enhanced. A large number of bright specks which are visible in the black background around the sun are caused by noise in the camera. At the time of the photograph Mars was almost on the other side of the Sun, as seen from Earth. Therefore the Mars rover Perseverance could see the side of the Sun not visible to us. The sun rotates slowly anti-clockwise around its axis, that is from left to right in the image. The rotation drove the big sun spot group over the Sun's horizon at right and into our view early this week.
