Albert Einstein died on this day, April 18, 1955.
It is incredible to hear Albert Einstein explain his famous formula, E=mc².

Barnard 68…The dark hole in the Space
It is not actually a hole but a molecular cloud that is so dark no light can pierce through it, leaving the stars and galaxies behind it invisible from our view.
We have wondered since time immemorial -are we alone? Are we close to finding out? And if we do, it will be the most important discovery in the history of humankind. Will we be ready?

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

A spiral galaxy seen face-on. Broken spiral arms made of blue patches of stars and thin strands of dark dust swirl around the galaxy’s centre, forming a broad, circular disc. An extended circular halo surrounds the disc. The centre is a brightly-glowing, stubby bar-shaped area in a pale yellow colour. A bright star in our own galaxy, with long cross-shaped diffraction spikes, is visible atop the distant galaxy.
This star & spiral galaxy may appear to be neighbours, but they're actually separated by 45 million light-years.
The image of the pair combines data from two instruments on the NASA/ESA #Hubble Space Telescope, taken more than 20 years apart.

A small sunlit blue bird with a rusty red chest and white belly perches on a thin branch with his head turned to the right and the sun glinting off his black eye.
Archie's a bit happier today, although it's hard to tell because he refuses to admit it.

A lone woman walks her dogs on a stormy beach.
The rocks remember battles past,
The waves strike hard but never last.
Yet here she treads, where legends fade,
a warrior bound by oath once made.
Dogs at heel, like wolves of old,
their eyes alight, their spirits bold.
And in her step, the earth still feels,
the strength of one who never kneels.
Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

I thought the bluebirds had moved on—nothing at all yesterday—and then at 6:00am today, all four were sitting above the feeder waiting (photo from an hour later—it was dark and I was on a sheet of ice carrying bird seed and meal worms 😐) 🪶

The sky you see at night is a window into the past...
The stars you see shone thousands to billions of years ago, their light only now reaching your eyes.
Dark skies reflect my sadness at the firings of all the humans that help keep the #GreatLakes as healthy as possible. Tonight I mourn the loss of the 14 @usfws.bsky.social employees that kept the invasive sea lamprey at bay. My fishery will be hurt. 😢😢🌊🌊

“Hi Chris, this is Jill from Newsmax-“ continues on to ask me to appear on a Super Bowl preview segment My response - “Hi Jill, thanks for reaching out, unfortunately I have a strict policy of not working with people who back autocrats and dictators, let alone those are at this very moment in the process of destroying the constitutional separation of power that makes companies like you own able to function independently, as opposed to be government propaganda, so I’m going to have to regretfully decline.”

Ernest Hemingway once said,
“In our darkest moments, we don’t need advice.”
What we truly need is the power of human connection: a quiet presence, a gentle touch, or the smallest gesture that reminds us we’re not alone.
I’m proud to call the amazing cartoonist Ed Wexler a friend.

A deep-field image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam instrument, showcasing the aftermath of a colossal collision between two galaxy clusters. The image reveals a complex web of galaxies, gas, and dust, with the most prominent feature being a bridge of hot gas stretching between the two main clusters.
Small fraction of the deep universe.

A grim but essential memory: 80 years ago today Auschwitz was liberated. That there was an Auschwitz to liberate is unspeakably tragic. . .
