Another excellent view of the #MaunaLoa upper northeastern rift zone with the active erupting fissure in the foreground. The summit caldera is in the back.

I'm trying to repost from Twitter. I fully support everyone leaving that site, but unfortunately USGS and other reliable info sources aren't here yet.
So, go to their site: https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hans2/view/notice/DOI-USGS-HVO-2022-11-28T18:29:33-08:00?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=dlvrit-usgsvolcanoes

"To recap, 3 fissures erupted but as of 1:30 PM, only the lowest of the three fissures was active. Estimates of the tallest fountain heights are between 100–200 ft (30–60 m), but most are a few yards (meters) tall."

I read this today in the New York Times in an article by David Wolman (of course) and wow, it crystallizes a lot about misinformation.

ICYMI: Mauna Loa in Hawai'i erupted for the first time in nearly 40 years last night. The lava flows are confined to the upper slopes of the volcano right now, but things can change quickly.

Jocelyn Bell Burnell transformed astronomy #OTD in 1967 when she made the first observation of a pulsar.

She and advisor Antony Hewish initially dubbed the object LGM-1 (“Little Green Men”) for its regular signal, but soon identified it as a rotating, magnetized neutron star.

' Many of the Kenyan excavators ... had expert local knowledge about the ancient sites, including their geology, histories and oral traditions. This knowledge was highly prized by the European scholars, who rarely did any digging themselves. But it was colonial practice, to intentionally “forget” the contributions of Africans to African history, [Prof George] Abungu said. “And the scholars went along with that.” '

Andy Borowitz strikes again!

propping open sleepy eyes with toothpicks like on cartoons but the pointy ends pierce both top and bottom lids and the tired flesh strips slide down the wooden spears until the two slabs meet and look like the mini appetizer sandwich peepers of a hellraiser cenobite
