Yesterday's newsletter included a sampling of Arthur Stieglitz's photos of New York, taken around 1900.
In his 50-year career, Stieglitz succeeded in elevating photography to a recognized art form.
His photos now hang in prominent museums.

👋🏻 Hi, my name is D'yani! (cisfem, she/her) #introduction time!

I'm a thoughtful #creative #introvert #leftist, very into #empathy #communication #mentalhealth #acceptance and real #friendship.

I'm afraid I suck at making friends? Despite unshakable deep loneliness. So pls if you think we could be friends, throw me a lifeline 😊

Introducing #Astro4j, my new toy project.

https://melix.github.io/blog/2023/04-22-introducing-astro4j.html

This is mostly for educational purposes. I have implemented my own algorithms to process Sol'Ex (http://www.astrosurf.com/solex/sol-ex-presentation-en.html) videos to reconstruct solar images.

Let me know what you think!

Time for #mythologymonday! Since we've already talked about Ganymede's disappearance (ahem, kidnapping) in the #myth of #Aquarius... how about a myth about the #constellations #Libra and #Virgo?

In #GreekMythology, Astraea is the goddess of justice (or innocence/purity/truth). She lived in the Golden Age, before the rule of Zeus. Long story short, Zeus takes over, and the Ages pass... and things get awful!

By the Iron age, Astraea is horrified by the world & disappears (escapes?) into the stars, where she awaits the return of the Golden Age.

"coi rodo xagycerni"

I know you don't understand, but it's a nice compliment...
in #Lojban.

Funnier is this one (and it's a pangram - a sentence that contains every letter):

".o’i mu xagji sofybakni cu zvati le purdi"

(read: Ohee moo khagzhee sof-uh-bahknee shoo zvahtee leh poordee.)

translation: Watch out, there are five hungry Soviet-cows in that garden.

What's a Soviet-cow?
I have no idea - but I'm sure there's more than five out there.

By now you’ve no doubt read about the #jameswebbspacetelescope observing #galaxies that are the most distant and earliest ever seen, but how can astronomers be sure these aren’t more recent and closer? #Space #astronomy #scicomm https://www.space.com/how-do-we-tell-age-of-galaxies

What? It's #Monday again?
