“Webb has discovered a 3000-mi (4800-km) wide jet stream over Jupiter’s equator, above the main cloud decks. This newly discovered Jovian jet stream travels at 320 miles per hour, 2 times the winds of a Category 5 hurricane on Earth! It’s located around 25 miles (40 kilometers) in altitude, in Jupiter’s lower stratosphere...”

Louis Clegg is just gaslighting in this interview.

Entrenching The Voice in the constitution for one small group of people is not just any group it’s the original inhabitants of the last 65,000 years!

She makes the point why The Voice is actually necessary in the the constitution, as current laws for protective measures against discrimination “can be tinkered with so when the balance gets out of whack parliaments can change them” That is, they’re subject to political whim

When I first came to Australia from NZ I was shocked at treatment of Aboriginal people in 1981

At least Slim Dusty had the decency to meet a group of them, who had come into town, after being refused concert entry

How far have we come Australia?

I’ve created a new list for the Life Sciences. It allows you to see the hashtags followed by scientists in each of the disciplines

I’m not sure how useful it will be, but you can quickly discover who’s posting to hashtags that are of interest each of the Life Sciences

Disciplines covered are arranged according to the following:

• Animal Behaviour • Astrobiology • Behaviour Science • Biochemistry • Bioinformatics • Biology • Biomaterial Science • Biomedical Science • Botany • Cell Biology • Developmental Biology • Ecology • Entomology • Genetics • Immunology • Marine Science • Microbiology • Molecular Biology • Mycology • Ornithology • Virology • Zoology

It’s remarkable what astrophotographers can capture from their back yard. Lauren Hughes @WestwoodAstro took this photo of the Pinwheel Galaxy M101 from his driveway

Note he captured a supernova, which he has labelled SN 2023ixf

Earlier I watched Bjorn Ekeberg, Sabine Hossenfelder, and Rupert Sheldrake debate the nature of the universe. I've read books by Rupert and watched many of Sabine's videos, so that was great fun for me.

Here Sabine is talking about youth, , for the same, and the quality of studies about exactly what is going on. She also expresses some opinions (she has many opinions, always), and welcomes comments, so here goes:

MarkIngs,

@stevesplace I’ve really enjoyed Sabine’s podcasts on the occasions that I’ve watched them for the physics. I was surprised to discover your post and this podcast, but pleased she covered the topic in an independent way
