Point and click back trajectories shows the approximate origins of the current airmass for 292 US cities at 500m (orange), 1500m (blue), 3000m (purple).
Can see why the air feels crisp this morning for the northeast and Long Island.
Relative life cycles of stars visualization based on initial mass.
Larger stars towards the top of the chart fuse their elements much more rapidly than smaller stars, lasting only a few million years. Red dwarfs can burn for hundreds of billions of years, or even trillions of years for the smallest ones.

Feels like we are on the precipice of next week being very nice or very terrible
Ocean storm lurking around off the eastern seaboard. Any farther west and it's days of cool and wet. A bit east and it's days of pleasant sunshine
Wind shear highlighted by clouds at different altitudes. Nice colors too.
High altitude ⬆️

Built a local light pollution explorer today. This is the sky view in Manhattan vs North/South Lake in the Catskills.
The tropical update on TWC aired at ~48 minutes past the hour for most of my childhood. That was just about the only place to even see a satellite loop over the Atlantic in those days. Appointment viewing. John Hope is a legend.
It's hard to describe the dam that has been broken by LLMs being the best at coding. A capture from an interactive tool that I magically conjured up with the latest tools today. Years of ideas are now actionable almost without limit.
