"Thinking about [visual artists engaging with history and science] feels quite organic to me. It feels nice to be in a world where you get to see someone thinking in real time about creating for the world, thinking deeply about the implications, and trying to create a legacy for how to do better."

"The Center for Anthropocene History ... is largely an extension of #envhist ... into the complex & rapidly evolving field of Anthropocene practice & thought. History is part of defining our time, as it should be." - S. Sörlin

Notes from the ICEHOUSE - liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/10.3828/...
The Center for Anthropocene History provides a good example. It is largely an extension of environmental history, and other strands of history writing, into the complex and rapidly evolving field of Anthropocene practice and thought. History is part of defining our time, as it should be. - Sverker Soerlin Notes from the Icehouse

Excuse us, we just need to vent 😤

At night, NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory's dome louvers open to match inside air with outside air, helping minimize blurring from turbulence.

That smooth airflow keeps the air around the telescope calm so Rubin can capture sharp views of the Universe. 🔭🧪
