From yesterday's #IceBridge flight: A tabular iceberg can be seen on the right, floating among sea ice just off of the Larsen C ice shelf. The iceberg's sharp angles and flat surface indicate that it probably recently calved from the ice shelf. pic.twitter.com/XhgTrf642Z

Die größte Orgelpfeife der Welt
..allerdings (logischerweise, bei der Größe), im Infraschallbereich.
Orgelpfeife im Megamaßstab: Der Vulkan Cotopaxi in Ecuador ist das wahrscheinlich größte Musikinstrument der Erde. Denn seit seinem Ausbruch im Jahr 2015 gibt er einzigartige Töne von sich, wie Forscher berichten. Erzeugt wird dieser Infraschall durch Luft, die durch seinen Kraterschlot strömt wie durch eine gigantische Orgelpfeife.
Saturn (und Jupiter)

Kevin M. Gill, a software engineer and data wrangler at NASA-JPL, created the fantastic video below „using still images taken by the Cassini spacecraft during it’s flyby of Jupiter and while at Saturn.
„Shown is Io and Europa over Jupiter’s Great Red Spot and then Titan as it passes over Saturn and it’s edge-on rings“
People seemed to like the Europa/Io/Titan gifs, so as an experiment I went and made a short video of them. The Voyage of the Moons.

Mondkurve
Photo by by Giorgia Hofer. A composite photo of the position and phases of the moon over 28 days. Each photo was taken at the same exact location each day, above the peaks of the Cridola Group, in Italy.
Solche Kurvenformen haben mich insbesondere im Orchesterstück TT1 interessiert.

Trotzdem unter #Natur abgespeichert, würde auch ohne Kloster noch geil aussehen.

Die chaotischen Wolken auf dem Jupiter
NASA’s Juno spacecraft took this color-enhanced image at 10:23 p.m. PDT on May 23, 2018 (1:23 a.m. EDT on May 24), as the spacecraft performed its 13th close flyby of Jupiter. At the time, Juno was about 9,600 miles (15,500 kilometers) from the planet’s cloud tops, above a northern latitude of 56 degrees.
The region seen here is somewhat chaotic and turbulent, given the various swirling cloud formations. In general, the darker cloud material is deeper in Jupiter’s atmosphere, while bright cloud material is high. The bright clouds are most likely ammonia or ammonia and water, mixed with a sprinkling of unknown chemical ingredients.
