☆ No-Show Socks: We Tested 50 Styles to Find One That Doesn’t Slip
  + stars: | 2023-05-06 | by ( John Ortved | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
MANY MEN—and perhaps you’re one—give summer socks a lot more thought than such tiny scraps of fabric might seem to deserve. The key question: Should you wear visible socks (hardly the breeziest or sexiest summer look), or choose “no-show” designs that hide inside your shoes, leaving ankles to lap up the sun’s rays? These invisible socks can be infuriating—constantly slipping underfoot, scrunching into a ball that wreaks havoc beneath your arches. What’s more, they have slipped out of fashion in recent years. This summer, you’ll likely spot more stylish guys wearing tall, ribbed tube socks than flashing their ankle bones.

☆ The Rays Are Better Than Everyone. At Everything.
  + stars: | 2023-05-04 | by ( Tyler Kepner | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Rays had just won again Tuesday night, but their architect was flustered by a small crack in the foundation. Erik Neander, the Rays’ president of baseball operations, wondered if any available veterans were lined up to start in the minors the next day. Anderson had pitched for a month in the Rays’ farm system last summer — and, most important, was lined up to start a morning game in Omaha in about 12 hours. The Rays made the requisite phone calls, got Anderson for cash considerations — “Maybe a dollar,” Neander said — and booked him on a 7 a.m. flight on Wednesday. That night, naturally, Anderson pitched three scoreless innings against Pittsburgh for his first career save in the majors.

☆ Astronomers spot a sneak peek of Earth's death — a star swallowing a planet whole — for the first time
  + stars: | 2023-05-03 | by ( Morgan Mcfall-Johnsen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Astronomers discovered a distant star swallowing a planet for the first time ever. Swallowing the planet whole produced a burst of energy that expelled the star's outer layers, causing it to expand and brighten rapidly. Except for a veneer of dust, the star pretty much looked the same as it had before, one year after devouring its planet. The distant planet that just got absorbed by its star was about the size of Jupiter, which is more than 1,300 Earths. (It later turned out, this pre-eruption dust was material from the planet skimming the atmosphere of the star as it orbited closer and closer.)

☆ Opinion | Why I Don’t Worry About Nuclear Waste
  + stars: | 2023-04-28 | by ( Madison Hilly | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
On a visit to the site of the Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown in Japan in February, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York did something refreshing: She discussed radiation exposure and nuclear waste without fanning fear. So it’s no surprise that many Americans believe nuclear waste poses an enormous and terrifying threat. We must stop seeing nuclear waste as a dangerous problem and instead recognize it as a safe byproduct of carbon-free power. The countries that have cleaned up their electricity production the fastest have generally done so with hydroelectric power, nuclear, or a combination of the two. The International Energy Agency believes it’s so crucial that global nuclear capacity must double by 2050 to reach net-zero emissions targets.

Milan CNN —The design world’s largest annual fair enjoyed a return to full pre-pandemic form with its 2023 showcase, transforming the city of Milan with hundreds of exhibitions, site-specific installations, pop-ups and public projects. Almost everywhere, the focus was on sustainable design, circular economy, material innovation and artistry combining craft with innovation. Some of the most interesting ideas were those that looked at waste – literally – to rethink what design can do when it uses what is already there. Shown in various stages of decomposition, the chair challenged viewers to approach products with the end of their lifecycle in mind.

☆ Ocean acidification is destroying coral reefs. Here's how 2 scientists are using bone research to protect them against climate change.
  + stars: | 2023-04-26 | by ( Tasmin Lockwood | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
It's becoming more acidic — hitting marine ecosystems and causing coral reefs to crumble. Increased acidity could devastate marine ecosystems, which are built upon coral reefs, and in turn, affect the fish and seafood humans eat. Ocean acidification: Lophelia pertusa coral in noncorrosive water off the Southern California Bight. The research began in January and will run for one year, with data collected in monthly intervals to help understand coral responses to ocean acidification and timescales. That's not just ocean acidification, but carbon-dioxide emissions, deforestation near coral reefs, and fishing practices like trawling, he said.

☆ I've studied the sun for 23 years. Here's what happened during the last solar maximum and what to expect from this one.
  + stars: | 2023-04-25 | by ( Crystal Raypole | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Solar maximum is a peak in the sun's activity that happens around the middle of each solar cycle. Mathew OwensThe solar maximum represents a peak in solar activity when the sun's magnetic field reaches its strongest and most disordered and dynamic point. NASA/Solar Dynamics ObservatorySolar cycles typically last 11 years, and the solar maximum happens roughly in the middle of each cycle. The sun's magnetic field reaches peak strength during solar maximum, generating an increase in events like solar flares and coronal mass ejections. These bursts are around four times as likely to occur during a solar maximum than a solar minimum.

☆ Defunct NASA spacecraft returns to Earth after 21 years
  + stars: | 2023-04-19 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
CNN —A NASA satellite that observed solar flares and helped scientists understand the sun’s powerful bursts of energy will fall to Earth this week, almost 21 years after it was launched. The retired Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) spacecraft, which launched in 2002 and was decommissioned in 2018, is expected to reenter Earth’s atmosphere Wednesday at approximately 9:30 p.m. The risk of harm coming to anyone on Earth as a result of RHESSI’s return is low — approximately 1 in 2,467, according to NASA. From its former perch in low-Earth orbit, the satellite captured images of high-energy electrons that carry a large part of the energy released in solar flares, NASA said. NASA said that the agency, along with the Department of Defense, would monitor the satellite’s reentry into Earth’s atmosphere.
