They wanted to stock up before the 25% tariffs imposed. :-)

First was the non-stop Perth to London flight (though those flights do start/finish in either Sydney or Melbourne) and just now the first non-stop flight from New York (QF 7879) has just landed in Sydney after 19.5hrs.

Cheers.

A Trail of Night Lights

Large image.

This image of star trails was compiled from time-lapse photography taken by NASA astronaut Christina Koch while onboard the International Space Station (ISS). This composite image was made from more than 400 individual photos taken over a span of about 11 minutes as the ISS traveled from Namibia toward the Red Sea.

I just love this one!

Migrating Russian eagles run up huge data roaming charges

Russian scientists tracking migrating eagles ran out of money after some of the birds flew to Iran and Pakistan and their SMS transmitters drew huge data roaming charges.
I'm sorry for the scientists, but how glorious that golden eagles can simply ignore our puny and arbitrary national, political, and economic boundaries.

Emma Andersson and Billy Ludvigsson were out on a snorkeling trip on Airlie Beach in Australia when the adventure took a sudden turn - a man was bitten by a shark and the nurse couple probably saved his life.
"He had a great sense of humor despite the circumstances and was most annoyed that he couldn't parachute the following day," says Emma Andersson.

Strange that some people enjoy adrenalin-filled near-death experiences. I don't:)

Indiana has a real mess of time zone observations...
https://visitindiana.com/about-indiana/time-zones
While most of Indiana is in the Eastern Time Zone, there are 12 of our 92 counties that are in the Central Time Zone to make things convenient with their surrounding areas.

How to dissect your Thanksgiving Tyrannosaur...
Shaena Montanari, a paleontologist and dinosaur expert, showed me and my friend Joe Hanson how to perform the dissection. You can follow along in a video Joe made for his YouTube channel, It’s Okay To Be Smart. We used a rotisserie chicken, but you find the exact same structures in the bones of your bird on Turkey Day.

One example of a feature that birds and some dinosaurs share is the wishbone. Also known as the furcula, it is actually two collar bones that have fused together. Wishbones are found only in birds and one lineage of dinosaurs, called theropods. This is the same group of dinos that included T. rex and velociraptors. Montanari explained that the wishbone is one clue that modern birds are dinosaurs.

To be clear, while all birds are dinosaurs, not all dinosaurs were birds. There were many types of dinosaurs (just ask any kid at your Thanksgiving table), and modern birds are descendants of only one lineage. It’s like how all turkeys are birds, but not all birds are turkeys.

When did Beet's start?
It seems that the number of captions to the Beet give me a caption thread is slowing down. It may be time for a tomb stone soon. I was trying to find when the original Beets started. The oldest I was able to find using Goggle is Beet VIII, shown below.

Does anyone know when Beets started?
