Co-workers are not your family. You may like them, become good friends with them, hang out with them, help them move in exchange for pizza, but calling them your family is a way companies manipulate you into doing unrealistic things, things you would and should only do for real family.

The #night at the Observatorio del Teide in the #Canarias Island looks like the whole #sky is in #fire

Most #astronomers don't know the impact of #ClimateChange on #astronomy. This is one example: #GlobalWarming increase probability of #wildfire, which can actually burn some #observatory

I hope all the colleagues (eg @asmasca) there are all fine and safe.

Gaiman: " If you really can't figure out which political party or which politician to vote for, just ask if they're on the side of libraries. Are they voting to fund their libraries? Are they voting to keep them free? Then vote for those guys. They're probably the good guys. And by the same token, the book burners, the book banners, they're probably the bad guys."

Something neat happens when you sort stars by color and brightness.

In this visualization of the stars in the globular cluster Omega Centauri, we can clearly see several groups of stars emerge from this sort: normal, main sequence stars; red giants; blue, horizontal branch stars; and white dwarfs. These are all stages in the lifecycle of Sun-like stars.

Yo quiero que esto se acabe con Joaquín Reyes disfrazado de Puigdemont haciendo un sketch que le de el gobierno a las izquierdas.

Y ya los verdaderos Junts no se atrevan a desmontar que era Joaquín Reyes.

‘The country is becoming a desert’: Drought-struck Spain is running out of water.

After a long and painful drought, the country has been hit by an unusually early heat wave, evaporating even more of the "blue gold" it still has left in its reservoirs.

While farmers fear for their survival, environmentalists say it is time for “Europe’s back garden” to rethink how it uses and manages its increasingly scarce water supply.
