A compilation of 9 composite images. The images are presented in a 3-by-3 grid, and all include pinks and purples as dominant colors.

In the first row, at our upper left, is an image of N79, a giant star forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Here, shafts of golden light bursting out of a central glowing orb cut through misty purple clouds. Beside it, to our right, is an image of a spiral galaxy known as NGC 2146. Shown from the side, the galaxy resembles a streaky, tilted disk of purple cloud with a glowing golden haze at the center. Completing the top row, at the upper right of the three-by-three grid, is an image of IC 348, a star-forming region in our Milky Way galaxy. This other-worldly image resembles a tangle of dark pink hair dotted with dozens of colorful orbs in various sizes.

The first image in the middle row features the M83 spiral galaxy. Here, the disk-shaped galaxy is viewed face-on, with mottled, dusty-rose arms spiraling around a central golden core. To the right, in the center of the grid, is the M82 starburst galaxy. In this image, the tilted, powder blue, disk-shaped galaxy is viewed edge-on. Bursting out of the core in opposite directions, perpendicular to the disk, are giant, hazy purple gas clouds that extend for thousands of light-years. Beside it, at our right edge of the grid, is an image of NGC 1068, a relatively nearby spiral galaxy. This neighbor is viewed face-on, with its tightly packed golden arms and faint purple clouds spiraling around a hazy core. There, million-mile-per-hour winds swirl around a glowing black hole.

In the bottom row, at our lower left, is an image of NGC 346, a cluster of newborn stars. Beside it, to our right, is an image of IC 1623, a system where two galaxies are in the process of merging. And finally, at our lower right hand corner, is Westerlund 1, Earth’s biggest and closest neighboring β€œsuper” star cluster.

Ashes to Abundance: The Great Coal Collapse - EV Curve Futurist China is leading a global solar surge, accelerating coal’s collapse. This blog tracks the tipping point of a civilizational energy shift already underway.

Following up on my deep dive into China’s coal exitβ€”here comes the global sequel. From Pakistan’s rooftop boom to Uruguay’s 98% renewables, coal’s grip is breaking planet-wide. This isn’t just declineβ€”it’s collapse. β€œAshes to Abundance” unpacks the global energy supernova. #EnergyTransition #RIPCoal

A smart European strategy for electric vehicle investment from China Chinese EV investment aids EU decarbonisation but brings risks, needing a united EU strategy to align it with climate, industrial and security aims

The EU faces difficult industrial policy questions. One of them is how to deal with Chinese investments in Europe’s electric vehicle supply chains. In this new paper we argue that Europe should be open to such investments, but with strong conditionality.

Remember: supplements are essentially unregulated. In addition to the "black pepper increases turmeric absorption" issue this case involved, there's no guarantee the supplement contains the amount of the thing it says it contains and doesn't contain other harmful ingredients!

King Fuchai of Wu built the a palace on the site for his gorgeous concubines, including Xi Shi, one of the Four Beauties in Ancient China (and a spy for his enemy, King Goujian of Yue). The temple was built centuries later.

Below the Threshold Low lead levels are linked to lower school performance, suggesting current safety limits may be too high and earlier intervention is needed.

πŸ§ͺ Science Poem πŸ–‹οΈ

Research published in @jama.com ‬ has found that even low lead levels in early life can harm school performance, long before they trigger official concern.
