@sybille_zeisel .@arminwolf hat auch schon 2013 ein konkretes Beispiel getippt:

[Peter Dynes @PGDynes]

Human habitat is being lost forever. The expanding purple zones are where thermal intolerance will make these areas uninhabitable in the next 30 years. Billions of people currently inhabit these regions.

[Sonja M. Lauterbach @SolautSonja]

Milliarden Menschen werden sich auf den Weg machen müssen, um für sich und ihre Kinder einen Lebensraum zu finden, der Zukunft möglich macht.
Wir brauchen Lösungen und keine depperte Nehammmer-Kickl-Orban-Packelei.

On February 24, millions of us made a choice. Not a white flag, but the blue and yellow one. Not fleeing, but facing. Resisting & fighting.
It was a year of pain, sorrow, faith, and unity. And this year, we remained invincible. We know that 2023 will be the year of our victory!

A new publication is out!
Validation of gas flow experiments for porous media by means of computer simulations, Sunny Laddha et al 2023 Meas. Sci. Technol. 34 045012, DOI 10.1088/1361-6501/acb373

And it is open source!

@SpaceMarschall @VinnyChirayil @FrontSpaceTech Right, you don't need to recreate a complete star or a whole comet to be able to understand individual processes. A laboratory has the advantage that you can isolate one effect or a controlled combination of effects to get answers, which theory alone can not verify.

[Raphael Marschall @SpaceMarschall]

@VinnyChirayil @FrontSpaceTech Yes, there are many cometary laboratory experiments. For example the KOSI experiment or more recently the ones performed @CoPhyLab. The latter also has a great youtube channel showing videos from their experiments.

[CoPhyLab @CoPhyLab]

Now, that is a lens system to work with. 18mu m per pixel on target!

@nick_attree @tuBraunschweig @cometary_doro @plemos151 Who is the guy behind Jurgen? He just looks like me.

[CoPhyLab @CoPhyLab]

@exploreplanets Are we talking about scientists or celestial objects?

[CoPhyLab @CoPhyLab]

What we were up to?
Preparing samples and make Brasilian Disc Tests in the L-chamber.

[CoPhyLab @CoPhyLab]

Try run for the Brazilian Disc Test to determine the mechanical properties of samples.

[CoPhyLab @CoPhyLab]

Getting ready for the next round of experiments.
Fitting the internal cameras in the sample manipulation device.

[CoPhyLab @CoPhyLab]

@lutz_o_richter @nick_attree @Philae_MUPUS This is the Co(met)Phy(sics)Lab(oratory) at TU-Braunschweig. An international project of several laboratories to have a better understanding of comets. See https://t.co/d8Mt5EKXMp

[CoPhyLab @CoPhyLab]

Every mm counts! It is getting crowded in our L-chamber.
Insertion fit test with sample manipulation device, lollipop motor mounted and sample transport cart inserting the sample container.

#OTD back on 13-14 March 1986, @ESA’s #Giotto spacecraft skimmed past #CometHalley, revealing for the first time what a comet’s nucleus looks like up close ☄️🛰️👀
