A few years ago I mocked up a facsimile of this manuscript just so I could get my head around its mechanics. I'm co-authoring an essay that discusses it so I opened this video I made, and you can hear my dog (then puppy) whimpering the background...my poor heart! www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.

Yesterday, the crew of the ISS called the crew of #Artemis2 and had a short conversation in between their busy schedules of research and documentation (I promise, to a scientist, that's more fun than it sounds!)
