I usually agree with the famous Indiana Jones line "it belongs in a museum", but with two caveats to consider: in what museum and under what circumstances. Because if those are not considered, what is happening is basically looting.

A photo of a bunch of NASA research documents, with titles like "STRUCTURAL MARGINS OBSERVED IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO EXCEEDANCE", "PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF UNEXPECTED WOBBLE IN A RIGIDLY NON-WOBBLING SYSTEM", "OBSERVED PERFORMANCE OF COMPONENTS KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN INSTALLED BACKWARDS", "COGNITIVE LOAD IMPLICATIONS OF ACRONYMS REFERRING TO OTHER ACRONYMS", "THRMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MATERIALS DESCRIBED AS 'PROBABLY INFLAMMABLE'", "ON THE REPEATED SURVIVAL OF SYSTEMS NEVER INTENDED TO WORK", "THE EFFECT OF CLIPBOARD ON PERCEIVED AUTHORITY IN TEST ENVIRONMENTS", "MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SUBSTANCES EXPOSED TO REPEATED MEETINGS", "ANOMALOUS RESULTS WHICH PERSIST DESPITE STRONG MANAGEMENT DISAPPROVAL", and "A PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF THE MOON'S APPARENT DISINTEREST IN OUR ACTIVITIES"

Some terrifically titled papers from a discovered collection of NASA research documents found in a skip

In one of my archaeo classes, and just got provided with a fantastic list of authors on Paleolithic art:

Dale Guthrie - Realism and practical
D'Errico - Artificial memory systems
Leroi-Gourhan - Systems of meaning, social identity and affiliation
Breuil - Ritual, sympathetic magic
Mitten- cognition

A group of sketches inspired by different famous cave paintings. It includes a Laxcaux Cave horse, an Altamira Cave bison; a bear, rhyno and lions from Chauvet Cave, and a red animal from the Cave of Swimmers.

yeah, this solar storm has been something else!

Super cool theory to see! I've had this thought cross my mind a few times and wondered how it'd go.

It'd definitely be a passion project! And would totally have to come once i'm out of this masters program lol.

Furscience has some interesting stuff, and there's actually a fair amount of grey literature on the subject. I think i know someone defending a furry studies thesis soon!

I agree whole-heartedly. Its something I have even considered researching too :3 (anthropologist)

For real! I live in central Alaska, and this winter has had some real phenomenal aurora! Especially that last solar storm in November, reddish aurora i have ever seen!

I've got some pics and videos of em on my profile :3

Exactly! And this appreciation stretches so far back, I daresay for most if not all of the history of our species. I love seeing anthropomorphic phenomena anywhere in our shared expereince : )

The past few days have had some amazing aurora!
