Lo que parece un paraíso invernal es, en realidad, una impresionante migración de millones de arañas emprendiendo el vuelo mediante un proceso llamado “ballooning” (vuelo arácnido).
Durante finales del verano y principios del otoño, las arañas liberan finas hebras de seda y dejan que el viento las transporte a través del paisaje.
El resultado es una capa surrealista de seda, similar a la nieve, que cubre campos y árboles — una técnica de migración inquietante pero inofensiva que la naturaleza realiza con total facilidad. hastaghsIncreíble espectáculo de la naturaleza: millones de arañas surcando el aire con su “ballooning”, cubriendo campos y árboles con finas hebras de seda que parecen nieve. ❄️🕷️

WindBorne's #CEO bravely admits that their balloon might have freaked out some pilots, as if claiming the skies for themselves wasn't enough 🌬️🎈. Meanwhile, the article attempts a groundbreaking feat: proving that #JavaScript is the new air we breathe, without which websites are just sad blobs of text. 🥴💻

Albuquerque: Balloonist Paradise
Albuquerque, New Mexico’s unique weather characteristics make it a popular destination for hot-air balloonists. While balloonists can control their altitude by warming or venting the air in their balloon, their horizontal travel comes at the mercy of the wind. (Just ask the erstwhile Wizard of Oz.) What makes Albuquerque special is a combination of topography, dry air, and altitude. Together, these features create the “Albuquerque box,” a circulation that gives south-flowing drainage winds below north-flowing prevailing winds.
The key to the box’s flow is a temperature inversion, where cooler, denser air is trapped near the surface and lighter, warmer air sits above. This typically occurs after a night of clear skies when much of the ground layer’s warm gets radiated away to space — something that’s easily done in high, dry altitudes.
Temperature inversions like this don’t last very long, though; by late morning, the sun’s warmth will dismantle the Albuquerque box. Still, it is a frequent enough occurrence, especially in the stable atmospheric conditions common in the autumn, that the city hosts an International Balloon Fiesta every October. (Image credit: B. Bos; via Physics Today)

Up, up into the blue sky, over the inn, over the island. You are free to be whoever you want here; a pirate captain, an accountant, an innkeeper. The air is warm, the zephyrs are gentle. This is your world now.
Isn’t it everything you ever wanted?

Hot air balloons in the early morning stillness ponder so slowly through the world! This video is from 2009 when a number of experimental balloonists held a convention in Amherst MA. My daughter and I filmed this very early in the morning from the Coolidge bridge looking south over the Connecticut River.
Some of the balloons: Hopper, Chariot, and Airship Rally

The BALMAN mission was successfully performed today. At 4:00 UTC, the balloon was launched from the observation point "Colibri" near the Ariane 6 launch pad of the Centre Spatial Guyanaise in Kourou.
After reaching an altitude of 17.8 km the mission was terminated and the balloon impacted in the Atlantic Ocean, 42 km NE of Kourou.
The total flight time was 3 hours.
