I was inspired on the physics of lift by Prof. Merrifield (@astromikemerri.bsky.social) from his video on Sixty Symbols (youtu.be/PF22LM8AbII?...) to eventually build a model RC airplane. The one I made is called the Klemm KL-107.

Today with the journal "Methods and Protocols," our published manuscript on Amphitrite ornata Dehaloperoxidase was selected for one of the cover banners for their landing page (www.mdpi.com/journal/mps). We are very appreciative of the recognition!

Total Lunar Eclipse. The Earth cast a shadow on the full Moon. At 3:19 AM EDT, the Moon was in range of a maximal eclipse. This 15-sec exposure single image shows the Blood Moon with the constellation Leo (partial) flanked right.
