Besides observing the physical structure of protoplanetary disks, astrophysicists also use spectrum analysis to identify the chemical structure of the material in the disks.
Here are some images of the spectral analysis of 5 such disks done by the Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS). The study identified large reservoirs
of nitriles and other organics in the inner disk regions, and elevated C/O ratios across most disks.

@zleap @Loukas There are many issues with mining minerals, just as there are with any type of mining. It also runs over indigenous people once again, whether it's the lithium triangle in South America, or Thacker Pass in Nevada, for which I did a deep dive. Greenwashing at its finest.

@zleap @Loukas Yes, the Big One ever lurks, for which there is no preparation. Similarly, no preparation in western states for the water crisis in the making for decades. Typical. There have been efforts to reduce municipal water use, like watering lawns, but those efforts are a drop in the bucket compared to agriculture. Arizona pumps its aquifers dry to grow alfalfa to feed Saudi cows, and Nevada is mining lithium, requiring 500,000 gallons of water for one ton of product. All quite insane.

I love clever uses of incentives and tech: Cities are using traffic lights near schools that start red and turn green if an approaching car isn't speeding.

If you're good, you get to keep driving. If you're bad, you have to stop and wait for the light to turn green.

The average speed on the road almost immediately dropped to the speed limit as people learned the rules.

Instead of punishing people with tickets after the fact, it creates the behavior the city wants.

Meet Daniel Perry

A self proclaimed white supremacist

A child predator who propositioned children online

a person who bragged about killing a black homeless man

Then declaired his intentions to purposefully kill a BLM protestor

Daniel ran a red light and drove his vehicle into a crowd

He was just sentenced to 25 years in prison.

*This* is the man Greg Abbott wants to pardon. Think about that.

Don't know what to say? Here's something basic ya'll can grab and amend as needed.

Ancient giant eruptions may have seeded nitrogen needed for life.

Science News reports: "The discovery adds evidence to the idea that, early in Earth’s history, volcanoes could have provided some of the materials that made it possible for life to emerge."
