I Have Finally Finished Writing This Long Essay On Solar Winds. Good Lord I Forgot How Much I Hated Writing

I have finally finished writing this long essay on solar winds. Good lord I forgot how much I hated writing these things. I got an extension and everything but I've still had to pull several all nighters just to get it finished on time.

I actually do love solar modelling, and especially the combination of fluid dynamics and magnetism. Solar wind especially is awesome, but at the moment I'm just exhausted from it. I'm just praying to the immortal soul of Eugene Parker that I'll be able to get the 70% I want on the paper.

If anyone wants to hear more about it I'll happily share, but you'll have to give me some time to find the enthusiasm again

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

A leopard shark turns and swims from right to left in the Kelp Forest exhibit

Our Animal Care team recently completed annual exams on all seven leopard sharks in our Kelp Forest exhibit. From aquarists to veterinarians and volunteers, it takes a small community of shark afishionados to get this important job done!

Each shark was brought up individually by the dive team, anesthetized, and given a full workup. Vet services drew blood, inspected gills for parasites, checked eyes, and examined the elasmobranchs via ultrasound. Meanwhile, aquarists recorded measurements as the sharks woke up.

These annual checkups are critical to the ongoing care of these amazing animals—and it wouldn’t be possible without the collaborative work of our dedicated Aquarium community! 💙

📸 Thanks to staffers Mary and Tiffany for the fintastic photos!

In light (haha) of the recent eclipse, I’d like to point out that it was during an eclipse in 1868 that French Astronomer Jules Janssen observed an unusual spectral line produced when he pointed his telescope at the partially obscured sun. He assumed that it corresponded to the spectrum of Sodium.

Observation by English astronomer Norman Lockyer later that year revealed it to be a different element. The first one discovered on a distant celestial sphere before it was discovered on Earth. He chose to name it after the sun.

In 1968, one hundred years later, a space probe was launched to orbit around and study the sun.
