Everytime I see a #Skylight discussion, I am confused because there is #Skylights and they came out last year. I think the Skylight project should consider changing their name to avoid confusion with Skylights. #ATmosphere #Bluesky @skylights.my
New research on effects of reentries of 1000's of satellites on the Earth's #atmosphere: "We find that depending on reentry latitude and aerosol size distribution, a 20–40-Gg stratospheric burden of Al2O3 aerosols accumulates poleward of 30 N/S between 10 and 30 km. Small but statistically significant changes in mesospheric heating rates lead to 1.5 K-temperature anomalies in the mesosphere and the stratosphere at Southern Hemisphere high latitudes."

Artic is the third luminaire in a series of light fixtures in which parts of a broken pressure washer are reused. The polybutylene terephthalate housing of the pressure washer’s electric motor has been repurposed as a lampshade.

The Japan Times: Clouds changing as world warms, adding to climate uncertainty…
Some clouds are rising higher into the atmosphere, where they trap more heat. Others are reflecting less sunlight, or shrinking and allowing more solar energy to reach Earth's surface... #environment #climatechange #clouds #atmosphere #space

One Sun. Two perspectives:
In the void of space 
, sunlight shines pure and white. On Earth 
, our atmosphere scatters shorter wavelengths, leaving vibrant reds and oranges to paint the horizon at sunrise.

Two views, one source—each shaped by where we stand.
All sorts of #toxic materials are released into the #atmosphere when buildings and their contents #burn. It's why one sees urban #firefighters donning breathing apparatus. #Wildlands adjacent to the Los Angeles basin also contain #mercury and #lead in #soil and litter layers, deposited over many years from #air #pollution generated by vehicles and industries. #Wildfires often emit these heavy metals.

The common mini-Neptunes typically form with a #hydrogen #atmosphere, resulting in conditions where #hydrogen and the #planet’s molten interior interact for millions to billions of years.
But the temperatures and pressures involved are so extreme that laboratory experiments to study them are nearly impossible.
Water and hydrogen would begin to separate deep within the atmosphere leading to rainfall deep inside the planet’s atmosphere as heavier water sinks.

3D map of #exoplanet #atmosphere shows wacky climate
#Astronomers have mapped the 3D structure of the layered atmosphere of one such ultra-hot #Jupiter-size exoplanet, revealing powerful winds that create intricate #weather patterns across that atmosphere.
"This planet’s atmosphere behaves in ways that challenge our understanding of how weather works."
#Astronomy and #Astrophysics reported on unexpected identification of #titanium in the exoplanet's atmosphere as well.

Great writeup of the #ATmosphere conference. It was organized by the community — the protocol that powers Bluesky is taking on a life of its own.

Getting around to watching the talks that I missed due to conflicts. First up is @divy.zone's talk about app shapes in the #ATmosphere. Such a great explanation of important components.

Nick @ngerakines.me is spinning up some working groups in @lexicon.community People are planning local meetups in the social events Discord chat. Thank you to everyone taking off into the #ATmosphere together!

Il y a un demi-milliard d’années, les plantes, jusqu’alors aquatiques, partaient à la conquête des continents. Une transition qui a métamorphosé la Terre et son atmosphère, ouvrant la voie aux vertébrés terrestres. Des chercheurs ont reconstitué le scénario de cette révolution.

Sand-sized fossils hold secrets to the history of climate change…
Between 18,000 and 11,000 years ago, the amount of #carbondioxide in the #atmosphere suddenly shot up. This caused rapid global warming, the mass melting of #glaciers, and the end of the last ice age... #climatechange #globalwarming #photosynthesis #fossils #southernocean #iceage
