THIS IS HOW WHEAT GROWS


video upload by Photo Owl Time Lapse

"A lot of you have been asking for a soil time-lapse since I posted the one with cigarettes in soil. This video shows what happens to wheat underground over a few months. Notice how new heads of wheat could not be formed, it's because I shot this video indoors. I plan to redo a similar one outdoors, so we'll see the head formation too."

"Thanks to the very talented Fer Synths for the amazing contribution to this track, without you, this project would not have been possible.

- Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@FerSynths

'A synergy emerges as Fer Synths's electric guitar's soulful echoes entwine with the ethereal whispers of synth, creating a mesmerizing and mysterious slow-paced composition that captivates the senses.

Enigmatic melodies weave through the air, casting a spell of tranquility. The hypnotic rhythm unfolds at a leisurely pace, drawing listeners into a mysterious realm where time seems to stand still.'"

A "Flight" Over Jupiter



NASAJuno
"This video uses images from NASA’s Juno mission to recreate what it might have looked like to ride along with the Juno spacecraft as it performed its 27th close flyby of Jupiter on June 2, 2020.

During the closest approach of this pass, the Juno spacecraft came within approximately 2,100 miles (3,400 kilometers) of Jupiter’s cloud tops. At that point, Jupiter’s powerful gravity accelerated the spacecraft to tremendous speed – about 130,000 mph (209,000 kilometers per hour) relative to the planet.

Citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill created the video using data from the spacecraft’s JunoCam instrument. The sequence combines 41 JunoCam still images digitally projected onto a sphere, with a virtual “camera” providing views of Jupiter from different angles as the spacecraft speeds by.

The original JunoCam images were taken on June 2, 2020, between 2:47 a.m. PDT (5:47 a.m. EDT) and 4:25 a.m. PDT (7:25 a.m. EDT).

JunoCam's raw images are available for the public to peruse and process into image products at https://missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/.... More information about NASA citizen science can be found at https://science.nasa.gov/citizenscience and https://www.nasa.gov/solve/opportunit....

Color Photos of World War II


via CNN

1 / 14 -A new book by Imperial War Museums (IWM) offers rare color photographs from WWII, many published for the first time in 70 years. They are in their original condition, not retouched nor colorized. Pictured in this one is a 'spotter' at a 3.7-inch anti-aircraft gun site, in December 1942. "This was one of the few places where women could actually serve on the front line," said author Ian Carter. "They would spot targets, operate the range finder and other systems, everything but firing the guns. The clarity of the image is stunning -- the quality of the colors shows how good the film was for its time."© IWM

Progress launch timelapse seen from space


Published on Nov 22, 2018 European Space Agency, ESA

"Timelapse of the Russian Progress MS-10 cargo spacecraft launched on 16 November 2018 at 18:14 GMT from Baikonur cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, taken by ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst from the International Space Station.

The spacecraft was launched atop a Soyuz rocket with 2564 kg of cargo and supplies. Flying at 28 800 km/h, 400 km high, the International Space Station requires regular supplies from Earth such as this Progress launch. Spacecraft are launched after the Space Station flies overhead so they catch up with the orbital outpost to dock, in this case two days later on 18 November 2018.

The images were taken from the European-built Cupola module with a camera set to take pictures at regular intervals. The pictures are then played quickly after each other at 8 to 16 times normal speed. The video shows around 15 minutes of the launch at normal speed.

The Progress spacecraft delivered food, fuel and supplies, including about 750 kg of propellant, 75 kg of oxygen and air and 440 l of water.

Some notable moments in this video are:
00:07 Soyuz-FG rocket booster separation.
00:19 Core stage separation.
00:34:05 Core stage starts burning in the atmosphere as it returns to Earth after having spent all its fuel.
00:34:19 Progress spacecraft separates from rocket and enters orbit to catch up with the International Space Station.
