  1. From January 1994 to March 1995, cosmonaut-physician Valeri Polyakov spent 437 consecutive days aboard Mir, circling Earth 7,075 times and travelling nearly 187 million miles to test whether a human could endure a Mars-length mission—and more than three decades later, no one has broken his record for a single continuous spaceflight.

  2. Walking along the River Wear footpath on the approach to South Hylton late this afternoon and great to take in this lovely view, bathed in exquisite golden hues.
    The sun is already setting more than 20 mins later than at the winter solstice and by the end of the month, that difference will be more than an hour!
    For anyone not too sure of where this location is, the bridge in the background carries the A19, spanning the river between South Hylton and North Hylton. The white-walled buildings are on the North Hylton side, the one nearest the camera being the popular Shipwrights public house.
    Although the ground was frozen and covered in a light dusting of snow, the air was absolutely calm and the only sounds this far downstream from the bridge was of curlews as they flew up and down the river making their distinctive call.

  3. Final 'snow' picture from last weekend's venture outside into the great snowy wastes of Wearside in NE England!
    Grabbed a few images from Sunderland's East End, of which this view of the Grade II listed Trafalgar Square was one.
    The 14 almshouses were completed four years before that other Trafalgar Square in the capital and were constructed to house the families of lost seamen.
    Funding came from the Muster Roll in 1840 and the almshouses were named in honour of the 76 sons of Sunderland who took part in the Battle of Trafalgar.

  4. Blue bedsheets, a green sweatshirt, and an orange cat. Shylo is comfy and warm as she snuggles under my arm while it's a snowy 8° outside on a Montana Sunday morning.

  5. 6/6

    And now #January is finished.

    #Narzissus is a one man show from #Austria 🇦🇹
    This #blackmetal album presents a wide variety of instruments, lot of #folk motives from East Europe, especially the #Balkans (for my ears at least). Also some #finnish lyrics. Black metal is often sketchy, Narzissus is #Antifa and #antinsbm one more reason to support him over on his #Bandcamp site if you’re into #atmosphericblackmetal
    I love this album and the discography of him was a no-brainer for me.

  6. La memoria non è fatta solo di giuramenti, parole e lapidi, è fatta di gesti che si ripetono ogni mattino del mondo. E il mondo che vogliamo noi va salvato ogni giorno, nutrito, tenuto vivo. Basta mollare un attimo e tutto va in rovina.

  7. #January 28, 1694
    #OTD Peter Collinson, English #Botanist from Peckham & #Quaker merchant is born.

    He introduced 200 #Plants to England, including the #Ailanthus or #Tree of #Heaven, #Planted in rows near his grave.

    John Bartram sent him new specimens from America. He also corresponded w/ Linnaeus & Benjamin Franklin.

    Peter once wrote a line that is inscribed on #Sundial-s,

    Peter's final words were, "Few men have enjoyed life more - I cheerfully resign!"
