INTO THE BLACK HOLE....

[jayne lee wilson]

Remarkable images....

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-47873592

One hopes (no doubt despairingly) that the Little Englanders of the ERG are paying attention...
Time to remake the Disney movie, anyway... maybe it could be funded by a UK-Only company with Baker, Rees-Mogg and Francois (he dislikes the cedilla you know..) as MDs.....

Well these images the "sacking" of Scrote and the woodpeckers in our gardern are worth celebrating today

Woodpeckers? Soundtrack of the Spring (don't get rid of your dead trees or boughs...!)....a certain un-sound-alike Steve Reich work comes to mind....

I've often pondered on whether a black hole might be an appropriate place for such people. I didn't know that François dislikes the cedilla but I suppose that I can understand why he might see it as undermining his ERG credentials and, on the rare occasions when I mention him in writing, I always use the cedilla; as to Sheep Rees-Cat, I refrain from comment. But yes, all that aside, remarkable images indeed!

the "sacking" of Scrote

I hadn't realised that until you mentioned it so I looked it up; I have to admit to wonderment at how he came to be appointed in the first place...

So it's Mark Frank-Oiz then. More like Frank Oik, if you were to ask me. He's the epitome of Harry Enfield's Tory Boy.

Is it because of his encyclopaedic knowldge of music ?
Or his great ideas about architecture ?



Though i'm enjoying the new National Anthem

He obviously wants to pronounce it as Franquar.

Calling all scientists, how is it possible to get a photograph back from millions of trillions of miles and by what means? I have enough difficulty getting them from my phone to the PC.

....here's a laugh a minute that I watched last night https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod...s-bruges-group The Bruges Group event in central London on leaving the EU, with Conservative MPs Mark Francois, Andrew Bridgen and Anne Marie Morris,.....no I don't know why I watched it either perhaps "know thy enemy"....

....sorry irony seems to be trumping On Topic here....

Just scroll down the link for more on this....it all starts with 8 linked Event Horizon Radio Telescopes -

Never mind Marvin's brain, this is a planet-sized telescope...! Click on the 2nd image for a quick video-resumé...

Love those shiny towers of hard drives...reminds me of certain listening-room situations...

Grab a look at this later (well after United v Barca of course...my word those superstars have got a lot to live up to now)

Other related features on BBC4 tonight as well....
But it is stunning how close the pictures are to the sci-fi images in the movies! Especially that frog-eye spectacular...

Not for the first time does reality follow Hollywood...

It was fascinating to see this photograph and to learn a little of ow it was created. But why, oh why, must they spend so much time NOT showing the picture, rather like in contests such as the Leeds Piano Competition or the BBC Young Musician? Do we really want to be treated in this way?
