Thoughts for the day
Spring has returned. Sky is blue, snow
is melting.
Our discussion group will meet at 4p
today. There is a community rally downtown to protest and several members
wanted to attend. I’ll be there also. We don’t need a King running our country.
RFK. Jr. knows way too little about
the autism spectrum to make such broad and mostly untrue statements to our
country.
K2-18b is an exoplanet about 124 light
years from earth. It is 2.6 times larger than earth. It is being studied by the
James Webb telescope for possibly finding life. The early studies there might
be.

Sogdians, an ancient Iranian people, were the key players on
the Silk Road. From 500 BCE, they facilitated trade between the East and West.
Their influence stretched across Central Asia, blending cultures. Did you know
they even influenced China’s imperial court? Intriguing!
Random Thoughts…
A group of Snakes is called a Den or
Nest or Pit or Bed or Knot.

Taught in High School but not true…
The Great Wall of China is visible from space
If space was on your next vacation list because you wanted to
see the Great Wall of China, you may want to look into seeing it while on Earth
instead. The Great Wall is not visible to the unaided eye in low Earth orbit;
some astronauts have claimed they could see it with snow to make it stand out.
Don’t lose all hope for space sightseeing; 15 manmade structures are
visible from space.
