Noctilucent clouds form at 80 kilometres up — the edge of space. They're not supposed to be visible at 38°N in December. And yet they were. And they looked like a whale.

This year’s #PrinterSolstice prompts are math themed, which seems perfect for my #womenInSTEM series. The first prompt, “addition” made me think of the greenhouse effect, excess additional atmospheric CO2 and the resulting excess terrestrial temperatures. It made me think of a scientist who has been on my to do list for years: Eunice Newton Foote. The reason I have not tackled her portrait 🧵

The Icicle Atlas. Everything you ever wanted to know about icicles. The University of #Toronto dept of #physics studies and catalogues icicles and how they are formed. Check out the Rogues Gallery for a link to photos of a bunch of them.
They study icicles and how they form, under what conditions, moisture and temp effects, how they grow on different structures and material, etc. Practical applications include designing surfaces (say, to discourage icicle formation) for things like airplane wings, houses, etc. The group is often contacted by special effects in the movie industry.
