The Gargoyles' #Eclipse
Gargoyles on Notre Dame in Paris silhouette against a cloudy sky with a New #Moon partially eclipsing the Sun. Captured on March 29, 2025, during the first eclipse season, this event preceded a total #lunar eclipse and will be followed by another in September.

How to Turn an “#EconomicBlackout” Into an All-Out War on #CorporatePower
Friday’s economic boycott is a one-day attack on corporate interests. The #degrowth movement calls for a broader societal shift.
Jonah Valdez, February 28 2025
Excerpt: "Rooted in the work of American and European political theorists of the 1970s, the 'degrowth' movement criticizes a #capitalist system that seeks unending growth and profit, which has led to #ecological and #environmental ruin such as the impacts of #ClimateChange.
"Instead, it advocates for a system that prioritizes the needs of the #planet and its people, such as #housing, #education, and #healthcare. According to Jason Hickel, a leading advocate of degrowth and author of 'Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World,' the movement calls for reducing consumption and production of things that harm the planet such #FossilFuels, #SUVs, #PrivateJets, #mansions, #FastFashion, #IndustrialBeef, #CruiseShips, and the #MilitaryIndustrialComplex.
"While the term may be unfamiliar to many Americans, its core ideas have cropped up in the Green New Deal’s goals of a post-fossil fuel economy; the pandemic-era phenomenon of white-collar workers voluntarily quitting their jobs and working less; and the recent social media trend of '#NoBuy,' which encouraged people to purchase less and #repurpose more.
"'People are getting a sense that they’re ripped off, that they’re being taken advantage of and exploited as consumers,' said Aaron Vansintjan, co-author of 'The Future Is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism.' 'It is promising that people are responding to the current moment by showing their distrust of these corporations.'
"The boycott has drawn wide–ranging media coverage, along with the attention of some celebrities. It also caught the attention of #LindaSarsour, a progressive activist best known for organizing the 2017 #WomensMarch after #Trump’s first election.
"'It is an easy risk-free way to invite masses of people to act in reaction to the outrageousness of this Administration,' Sarsour told The Intercept in an email."

PARIS - The Devil Made Me Do It
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvzqa-fjmFk
Beware the beast man, for he is the devil's pawn
He kills for sport, or lust or greed
Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land
Shun him, for he is the harbinger of death

A Partial Solar #Eclipse over Iceland
Yesterday, a partial solar eclipse occurred at sunrise in parts of North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. A striking photo from Iceland shows the Sun partially obscured by the #Moon, with a person seemingly pulling it out. No total eclipse was seen this time.

#Scientists may have discovered how to extract #power from the rotation of #Earth. If the technique provided for all #electricity needs of our #world, it would slow the planet’s spin by 7 milliseconds over the next century.
We polluted the #environment until it polluted back. Now #microplastics are terminal to the #planet, and it’s altering our #DNA

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.

Maybe we will find out - some day in the distant future - that some aeons in the past, there indeed was a living civilisation on planet Mars.

Proxima Centauri is our nearest stellar neighbor and is known to be a very active M dwarf #star.
Known to host a potentially #habitable #planet, the star #Proxima exhibits very active #flare activity in optical wavelengths.
Depending on the energy and frequency of these flares, nearby planets in the habitable zone might be rendered uninhabitable as the flares strip planetary atmospheres of necessary ingredients such as ozone and water.
