Stars becoming visible in the evening sky as seen from the mountains of southern New Mexico.

Brilliant Venus is in the lower left quadrant and is the brightest object in the frame.

Along the left edge is the star Spica in the constellation Virgo.

Along the upper edge, left of center is the star Arcturus, and the Big Dipper is in the upper right quadrant.

The lights of the village of La Luz are sprinkled along the floor of the Tularosa basin.

A wide angle photo of the evening twilght sky. Along the horizon there is still a band of yellow-orange sky. A small bank of clouds are a dark silhouette against the brighter sky. The sky tapers to a dark blue up high. Some stars, and one planet, are visible. Village lights are also seen. A few tree silhouettes provide more texture and interest to the scene.

Modelling of rift valleys on Venus and comparison to known topography suggests at least three places with active or quite recently active extension at rates of 3−10 cm/yr.

I remember when the prevailing theory was that the Venusian lithosphere just sat there until it catastrophically overturned every few hundred million years. Now it’s starting to look like Venus may not have Earth-like plate tectonics, but it’s not a fully stagnant lid either.

The most exciting possibility: perhaps we’re getting a look at what may have been the prevailing mode in the earliest part of Earth history.

Recent active rifting on Venus revealed by wide rift flank uplifts - Nature Geoscience

Comparisons between thermomechanical models and Venusian rift morphologies indicate that rifts on Venus are still, or were recently, active and may have undergone faster extension than usually assumed, potentially because of mantle plume activity.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦊🔢 Archaeologists have identified #Saktahnwaax, a #Maya mathematician-astronomer from around 800 CE, as the first named scientist of the pre-Columbian Americas.

Found in a painted chamber at #Xultun, #Guatemala, his name appears alongside advanced formulas, including a 2,920 day cycle that integrates #solar and #Venus years.

Archaeologists Just Found the Earliest Known Named Scientist in the Ancient Americas

Scientists have long known that the Maya were great thinkers—and we may finally have at least one name to credit.

The Moon and Venus a few hours ago, with my phone:

You can see how the entire Moon is visible actually but a slice of it is directly lit by the Sun so it makes it appear in that particular way to our naked eyes. Super cool.
