astronemma: Bipolar Nebulae These distinctive nebular formations are characterised by their axially symmetric, bi-lobed appearance. Many planetary nebulae exhibit this feature, and it is possible that there is a relationship between the two types of nebula, with one preceding the other in their evolution. The exact cause of the bipolar structure is unknown, however it could be linked to bipolar outflow (a process in which a star ejects highly energetic streams of outflow along both poles).

Bipolar Nebulae

These distinctive nebular formations are characterised by their axially symmetric, bi-lobed appearance. Many planetary nebulae exhibit this feature, and it is possible that there is a relationship between the two types of nebula, with one preceding the other in their evolution. The exact cause of the bipolar structure is unknown, however it could be linked to bipolar outflow (a process in which a star ejects highly energetic streams of outflow along both poles).

Honey is the fucking tastiest natural sweetener around, bitches. and it tastes different depending on what the bees used. Like, we got blackberry honey around here, right?

It’s tasty, you can use it as a substitute for corn syrup when making things like delicious caramel, it’s antibacterial so you can put it on a small cut if you run out of Neosporin, and it soothes burns better than aloe.What honey won’t do is help your seasonal allergies. The pollen that plants release into the air and cause allergies (anemophilous) are different from the pollens that stay in the plant and attract insect pollinators (entomophilous).  I had always heard that honey is loaded with vitamines and was a little disappointed when I found that an average tbsp of honey contains only the following: But it’s still good stuff. :)

Stop the shutdown of Public Television in Greece!

According to the BBC, the Greek government has announced that it will shut down the radio and TV services of the state broadcaster ERT. A government spokesman said transmissions would cease early on Wednesday. All employees, numbering at least 2,500, will be suspended until the company reopens “as soon as possible.” Unions voiced strong opposition to the move. An engineer at the broadcaster’s multimedia department who gave his name as Yannis said: “The government announced that channels will shut down at midnight - after that the screens will go black. “According to the government, from tonight I will be unemployed. It is a complete shock. In four hours’ time I will not have a job.”Let us help Greek journalists inform Greek people all over the world!Let us help Greek people remain properly informed!

Addendum: Pulling the plug on state broadcaster ERT signal has also pulled plug on BBC, Deutsche Welle and RIK channels in Greece.
