I know that I will never buy something from BN since I live in Sweden, but I have to admit that if I had lived in the US their latest feature would have made me a poor woman. As it is… my TBR list have grown a lot from skimming through the BN readouts list. […]
A team of NASA scientists and engineers is poised to realize a lifetime goal: building an instrument powerful and accurate enough to gather around-the-clock global atmospheric carbon-dioxide (CO2) measurements from space. Developers of the CO2 Sounder Lidar instrument snapped this photo during a field campaign over California and Nevada. via NASA http://ift.tt/2ax2BeL
Acadia National Park is one of the most visited parks in America, drawing more than 2.5 million visitors per year to the craggy, jagged coast of Maine. The park is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2016. On September 6, 2015, the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on the Landsat 8 satellite acquired these images of the […]
To tease you, here is the slightly tweaked blurb for Daughter of the Dark. (Though to be fair, it only cover the first half. ) For a century and a half, Jenny McNeill have been living in exile. She has built a nice career as a runner, not drawing attention to herself. Until now. Now […]
I am really close to being done with Vanished. I am the first to admit that it is a bit messy in the second half. But that is because I hadn’t quite figured out what should happen. In other words: it is a first draft, with room to improvement. The plan is to finish it […]

An unusual celestial object called CX330 was first detected as a source of X-ray light in 2009. It has been launching “jets” of material into the gas and dust around it. via NASA http://ift.tt/2aqttPC
NASA’s Scalable Convergent Electric Propulsion Technology and Operations Research (SCEPTOR) project has reached a critical milestone, where the electric propulsion integration and conversion of the Tecnam P2006T aircraft into the X-57 will commence. via NASA http://ift.tt/2au7n11
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image reveals the vibrant core of the galaxy NGC 3125. Discovered by John Herschel in 1835, NGC 3125 is a great example of a starburst galaxy — a galaxy in which unusually high numbers of new stars are forming, springing to life within intensely hot clouds of gas. via NASA […]
