[Sophia Proneikos @Pergament_F]

"When our genes were unable to store all the information necessary for our survival, we slowly invented the needed genes.
But then there came a time, perhaps ten thousand years ago, when there arose a need to know more than it was convenient for our brains to hold. And so we learned to store vast quantities of information outside our bodies.
We are the only species on the planet, at least as far as we know, that has invented a communal memory that is stored neither in our genes nor in our brains. The place where this memory is kept is called a library.
A book is made from a tree. You give it a single glance, and you hear the voice of a person who may have been dead for a thousand years. Across millennia, the author speaks, quietly and clearly, directly into your head, personally to you.
Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, for it binds together people who are citizens of different epochs and who have never known one another.
Books break the shackles of time; they are proof that humanity is capable of magic."
Carl Sagan,"Cosmos"

Remember when Manny Ramirez made a running catch, high-fived a fan, and still hosed the runner 💀

You've seen this before. It's the "treasury" of the ancient, rock-cut city of Petra.

But do you know what it actually is — or more interesting, what's inside?

It isn't what you might expect... (thread) 🧵

An analemma is a diagram showing the position of the Sun in the sky, as seen from a fixed location on Earth at the same mean solar time, as that position varies over the course of a year.

August 2024 on the Sun. This month saw (yet another) increase in sunspot numbers, providing the highest sunspot numbers for over 20 years. And yet… where are all the big solar flares or filament eruptions? These seem to have slowed down for now. #spaceweather
