Some modern Korean music for your enjoyment:

Could you see this from Flag?
Oh yeah, been there, some years ago now. Wonderful. Learned that the old-timey monks knew how to construct it such that the interior climate could be stable and thus prevent warping of the wooden printing blocks.

Get well soon, David!

Agree about feeling good after conquering locomotive challenges. The conf was good. My paper had a bigger audience than last years'. Also enjoyed the bucolic surround of the conf site compared w/ megapolises Seoul and Tokyo.
Okay. Just got back from a conference in Japan -- not in Tokyo this time, but a more rural town to the north. What I discovered is that Japan railroads are complicated, unlike in Korea, where the govt runs everything, so finding the right path was challenging. But in the end all was well.
Something to start the weekend with.

Glad you are all feeling better.
Marsquakes indicate that the inner core of the red planet is solid, not liquid
An analysis of seismic waves propagating through Mars finds evidence that the planet has a small, solid inner core, which challenges existing planetary models. #Mars #InSight 🧪🔭

Konichwa, Gert-Jan!
Been getting into this 20th century composer of late. An interesting, short work with appealing visuals.

Taking a break by re-reading some old SF classics -- Arthur C. Clarke (Earthlight, The Nine Billion Names of God), Octavia Butler (Parable of the Sower, Parable of the Talents), Ray Bradbury (The Martian Chronicles).
@enigmakairos.bsky.social So. Drummer, eh?
Read HFR sometime back. THE GUNS OF THE SOUTH as I recall was a tad better, but this was certainly good. Must tackle more of the series someday.
The image depicts IC 410, also known as the Tadpoles Nebula, a vibrant emission nebula located approximately 12,000 light-years away in the constellation Auriga. This stunning image was captured using the Hubble Space Telescope’s SHO palette, where sulfur emissions are mapped to red, hydrogen to green, and oxygen to blue, creating an otherworldly, colorful scene. At the heart of the nebula lies a cluster of young stars, whose intense radiation and stellar winds sculpt the surrounding gas and dust into intricate shapes. Two prominent “tadpole” structures can be seen, appearing as dense, elongated knots of material being eroded by these stellar winds, pointing away from the cluster. The nebula’s vivid colors contrast beautifully with the darker patches of interstellar dust that obscure parts of the scene. Capture details: The image was taken with a William Optics Redcat 71 telescope, Atik Cameras AtikOne 6.0, and Antlia 3nm narrowband filters (Sii, Ha, and Oiii). The telescope was mounted on a Skywatcher EQ8 mount for precise tracking. The data, with a total exposure time of 12.5 hours, was stacked using Astro Pixel Processor to combine multiple images, enhancing detail and clarity. Final image processing was carried out in PixInsight, blending the narrowband data into the iconic Hubble SHO palette to highlight the nebula’s rich structure and vibrant color.
Behold #IC410, the #TadpolesNebula! 🐸✨ This cosmic nursery, 12,000 light-years away in Auriga, is a stunning mix of glowing gas and dust sculpted by stellar winds. Spot the ‘tadpoles’—dense knots of material! The beauty of creation on a universal scale. #Astrophotography
"...these “new” moons are sort of like buying a used 2005 Buick LeSabre: definitely not sporting a new car smell, but hey—it’s new to *us*."

"Introvert who pretends to be social," eh? Fits me to a T. How I learned to pretend was take an ESL teaching job. Forced me to come out of my shell, for delimited segments of time, anyway. 😁
It's like "Variations on the Smoke Ring."

I visualized this a few years ago to give an idea as to how it might appear to be there with Daphnis

Embedded in the Keeler Gap of Saturn’s rings is the tiny 8km moon Daphnis. Daphnis, with its tiny gravity, tugs on the ring particles as it bobs up and down making visible waves.
It was discovered by the Cassini imaging team in 2005.

Okay, so now what the hell do I do?
I hope the result is better than the COP29 result.
