By • @spacescience The illusion is called Fata Morgana and it's caused by warm air that is resting on patches of cold air in an atmospheric duct. This means that when you see something on the horizon, it can appear to be mirrored, floating or otherwise distorted due to this air acting like a refracting lens.

By • @galaxies This is because hurricanes rely on the Coriolis force to form and maintain their rotation. The Coriolis force is a result of the Earth’s rotation and causes objects in motion to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection is what helps hurricanes spin and develop their characteristic spiral shape. Since the Coriolis force is weaker near the equator, hurricanes are unable to form or maintain their structure if they were to cross the equator.
By • @mathsolverr Cartesian Coordinates
- Cartesian coordinates use two (or three for 3D) perpendicular axes: typically called the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).
- Any point on a plane is defined by how far along it is on these two axes.
- You describe a point by giving its x (horizontal) and y (vertical) positions.
- For example, the point (3, 2) is 3 units to the right and 2 units up from the origin (0, 0), which is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.
Polar Coordinates
- Polar coordinates describe a point based on its distance from a fixed central point (called the origin) and the angle from a reference direction (usually the positive x-axis).
- You describe a point by giving its distance from the origin (r) and the angle (θ) from the positive x-axis.
- For example, a point with coordinates (5, 45°) is 5 units away from the origin and at an angle of 45 degrees from the positive x-axis.
Cartesian Coordinates are great for:
- Problems involving straight-line movements.
- Easily adding or subtracting positions.
- Making rectangular or square grids.
Polar Coordinates are great for:
- Problems involving circular or rotational movements.
- Describing points in circular paths or angles.
- Working with trigonometry and waves.
In simple terms, Cartesian coordinates are like giving street directions using blocks (right/left, up/down), while polar coordinates are like giving directions using distance and angle (how far and which direction to go from a central point).

Via @itsthemind July 2023 Record High Global Temperatures - via @nasaclimatechange
According to scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York, July 2023 was hotter than any other month in the global temperature record.
Overall, July 2023 was 0.43 degrees Fahrenheit (F) (0.24 degrees Celsius (C)) warmer than any other July in NASA’s record, and it was 2.1 F (1.18 C) warmer than the average July between 1951 and 1980.
“NASA data confirms what billions around the world literally felt: temperatures in July 2023 made it the hottest month on record. In every corner of the country, Americans are right now experiencing firsthand the effects of the climate crisis.

Via @itsthemind Duck or Rabbit Illusion on Google Cloud View
Credit to Max Woolf @minimaxir (Twitter and IG), to Janelle C. Shane @janelle.shane for the idea of putting the original image through Cloud Vision, and @FlyingOctopus0 (Twitter) for noticing that the results vary on rotation!
The duck-rabbit illusion is a famous ambiguous image in which a rabbit or a duck can be seen. The earliest known version is an unattributed drawing from the 23 October 1892 issue of Fliegende Blätter, a German humor magazine.
The illusion works because the brain is constantly trying to make sense of the visual information it receives.
The illusion was first described by the American psychologist Joseph Jastrow in 1899.

Via @wetheaether The concept of the microcosm and the macrocosm, rooted in hermeticism, emphasizes the interconnectedness of the universe through the principle of "As Above, So Below." In this view, humans can be seen as living cells or bacteria within the greater world, reflecting the intricate harmony and interdependence that exists on both a small and large scale.🦠🏊🏖️🌎🌌

By @madewithflourish #Barbenheimer has made Hollywood history. 🎬
What began as a competitive studio move transformed into an online sensation due to the dramatic contrast of the film’s topics.
Social media encouragement to watch the films as a double bill has led to both films far outperforming expectations, and the first time in Hollywood history that two films have opened to more than $100 million and $50 million in the domestic box office.
#Barbienheimer, and let us know in the comments what you thought of the films!
By • @wsj Trees from Texas to New York have begun sprouting leaves earlier than in any year on record, according to data from the USA National Phenology Network, a group of scientists and educators that monitors the effects of weather on plants and animals.
The network’s model, which uses climate conditions to estimate when the first leaves will appear across the country, is based on when some lilac and honeysuckle species sprout their first leaves, which tend to be the first plants to start showing signs of spring in the Northeast.
In some parts of the country, this spring is starting almost three weeks earlier than average, compared with the past four decades, according to the model.
This year, warmer winter weather has led to early signs of spring leafing in the Southeast, lower Midwest and mid-Atlantic, while Southern California and Arizona are seeing a delay.
New York City, Washington, D.C., and patches of Texas and southern Ohio are seeing their earliest spring days in the past 40 years.
Leaves are appearing earlier than usual on forsythias in Maine, sugar maples in New York and eastern redbuds in Virginia, according to observational data submitted to the network by people across the country documenting the fauna and flora in their backyards and towns.

By @piechartpirate Everyone knows what a forest is, but a formal definition by The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization is, “Land spanning more than 0.5 hectares with trees higher than 5 meters and a canopy cover of more than 10 percent, or trees able to reach these thresholds in situ. It does not include land that is predominantly under agricultural or urban use.”
Regardless of definition forests provide an incredible place for biodiversity and can capture CO2 from the atmosphere. That is why I made this post, because it is important to protect the forests.
Since 1990 the area percentage of forest has decreased by 1 percent, this doesn’t seem much, but this is equivalent to 5 million square kilometers, or almost 1 billion football fields.
Some interesting observations from making this video were that in some countries the area percentage actually increases, for example China and the EU both increased their percentage of the last 30 years.

By @bloombergopinion 💚 Heart rate variability (HRV) offers insights into recovery from illness, injury or exercise, can track levels of physical and emotional stress, and even act as a predictor of cardiac failure. Advances in technology, including image sensors, now make HRV measurement accessible to anyone with a chest strap or smartphone.
💙 Among the more common measures, heart and respiratory rate are the simplest to take — you just need a watch with a second hand to count. More specialized equipment is needed for body temperature, blood-oxygen level and blood pressure, but they’re also quite straightforward.
🧡 The history of blood-pressure measurement dates back 300 years, when Reverend Stephen Hales stuck tubes into a horse to see how high the column of blood would climb. Today, you merely need an arm cuff attached to some electronics.
