From NBC News: "The sun cycles between periods of low and high activity over 11 years. The maximum can bring stunning light displays and offer NASA scientists unique research opportunities."

Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa (Mound of Shards), a historical archaeological site located in Alexandria, Egypt. The site is also known as the 'Hill of Treasure', regarded as a huge necropolis and royal cemetery that dates back to 2nd Century AD. The necropolis has a unique mixture of Roman, Hellenistic and pharaonic art elements reflected in paintings on the wall and style of statues, funeral objects and tombs. It is considered as one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages.

Everything about this is a joy - the birds, their rotundness, their quiffs, the Winter Wonderland framing, the composition. Thanks for capturing and sharing.


It can be a pain to find open access archaeology journals that don't charge hefty APCs. Which is why @bjorn, @joeroe, @andreatitolo and myself created diamond.open-archaeo.info -- a list of diamond-flavoured open venues for publishing, reviewing and curating archaeological research!

Skipping "on" is very annoying to British readers, just in case that matters to you. I know, niche.


If every person in the world ๐ŸŒ enjoyed the lifestyle and consumption habits of the *average* US citizen, how many Earths would be required to supply their demands?

Yes the title is a bit misleading. Still an interesting fact that we can take from this is that Overpopulation is not as detrimental as overconsumption.
Corollary, the control of natality in the global south is a waste of resources for a sustainable world, while vasectomies in the global north, in golf, polo clubs especially would do wonders.

Sorry to be lazy, but for a country like China, is their consumption being split from their exports?

Here's alt text for the image:

A four-panel comic strip depicting a humorous take on the Last Supper. Jesus is shown offering bread and wine, then a kielbasa, to his disciples. The disciples react with increasing confusion and one exclaims "I'm betraying you!" The overall tone is lighthearted and irreverent.
