I’m trying to understand the sounds of the universe that we cannot hear. So I am sitting on the shores of Kraken Mare on Titan with my cosmic cello. My cello translates these sounds and plays to me. Incredibly relaxing exercise.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LookingAtYou
Time for a bird I don't think I've ever posted on here, in the shape of a tiny tufted titmouse, surprised by the sound of some unthinking noisy photographer .. 🐦🦉

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Good morning, Bluesky. For #WaterfallWednesday, a small (maybe the smallest) but permanent waterfall trickling from an old tunnel. Ok, maybe it's more of a baby rapid or a rivulet.

Look to the Milky Way, in Sagittarius, and you'll find the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae. In this region, there are hundreds of millions of stars per square degree. My photo is littered with many of them.🤩

This perfect and pristine spring run can be visually enjoyed deep in the woods of North Florida. 12,000 acres of watershed was purchased a few years ago to preserve the St. Marks River area. Worth every penny. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #longexposure #rivers #springs #nature
