A google maps view of the area around the Strait of Hormuz, with crude markup showing the 4 steps to successfully clearing the strait:

1. Build up speed
2. Hit Trampoline
3. Cool backflip
4. Nail the landing

The boat is illustrated using a clip art yacht, and the trampoline is also just kind of floating there.

wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it

Pixelated black and white Voyager photo of Io, showing a plume from a volcanic eruption.

Voyager 1 captured the first evidence of an extraterrestrial volcanic eruption #OTD in 1979, on Jupiter's moon Io.

The plume in this image was discovered by astronomer Linda A. Morabito, working as a JPL engineer at the time, and announced a few days later. 🔭 🧪 👩‍🔬

Phwoah. These turbotrains were brilliant. In the 80s you got a crappy Southern Region train from Victoria to the Hoverport at Dover, then a nausea-inducing crossing at 60 mph on the hovercraft, then you were whisked to Paris on one of these sexy beasts. 5h30 min city centre to city centre iirc.

Today in Chemistry History infographic on Henri Becquerel and the discovery of radioactivity. In late February 1896, Henri Becquerel was experimenting with phosphorescent uranium salt crystals which glow for a time after exposure to sunlight. He placed the crystals on photographic paper, and saw that a black shadow was visible where the crystals were when the paper was developed. He initially thought the crystals were emitting X-rays when exposed to sunlight. However, on leaving the crystals on the paper in a dark cupboard during overcast days, he found shadows were still visible on the developed paper, and that the process was independent of sunlight. Marie Curie coined the term “radiation” in 1898.

Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity #OTD in 1896, and later shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Pierre and Marie Curie for the discovery.
