Watched an Episode on Nat Geo Super Structures, Engineering Marvels, which was on the construction of the International Space Station.
It was excellent!
Talks about the construction of it, oxygen, water, impact from objects in space, was really interesting.

Interesting read, not sure where else to put this.

I know the vastness of space, 4,000,000 km is pretty close, but still...
Leonard swung extremely close to Venus at the weekend, coming within 4 million kilometres.

@taniwharugby Great video. I'm always fascinated by fluid dynamics, particularly aerodynamics in motorsport where they determine the correct amount of flow and where to place the boundary between laminar and turbulent flow - best seen in Formula 1.

Study Confirms HPV Vaccine Prevents Cervical Cancer
Widespread HPV vaccine use dramatically reduces the number of women who will develop cervical cancer, a large study has shown. In the study of nearly 1.7 million women, the vaccine was particularly effective for girls vaccinated before age 17, among whom there was a nearly 90% reduction in cervical...
In the study of nearly 1.7 million women, the vaccine’s efficacy was particularly pronounced among girls vaccinated before age 17, among whom there was a nearly 90% reduction in cervical cancer incidence during the 11-year study period (2006 through 2017) compared with the incidence in women who had not been vaccinated.

Now we turn to phenylephrine. As you can see, that's a somewhat different structure - there's a phenol on the aryl ring, and there's no longer a chiral methyl group bretween the hydroxy and the N-methyl.Oh yes absolutely. Stood out like dogs bollocks

Pretty cool, but at the same time also a bit lame...
To get the picture the eight telescopes had to co-ordinate so closely “in a process similar to everyone shaking hands with everyone else in the room”, said astronomer Vincent Fish of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The project cost nearly US$60 million with US$28 million coming from the US National Science Foundation.
“What’s more cool than seeing the black hole at the centre of our own Milky Way,” said California Institute of Technology's Katherine Bouman.

The cool bit was the work they used to achieve it, they should have big up that!

@booboo Hard to say how tall that tree is given it's surrounded by relatively small trees.
Hyperion's precise location is a secret. Unless you have access to the internet and enter 'location of Hyperion'. In which case you will get the precise geo coordinates and a handy may to get there. Hint: You walk in from the end of Tall Trees Access Road...
Really well hidden.
Hopefully not too many can be bothered.

Have to try that for the Wollemi Pines...

it's not insta-worthy ... so probably safe
