Guilty of not always doing this "quite public" reposting. Makes since and I wonder why replies are defaulted to do it that way. My interface has always said unlisted... I only suspected what that meant but honestly didnt explicitly know. #TDIL

Heute gelernt: Es ist bei Tulpen ganz einfach zu erkennen welche blühen und welche nicht. Die Tulpen die zwei - oder mehrblättrig aus der Erde kommen werden auch blühen. Dort wo nur ein einzelnes Blatt erscheint, meist bei jungen Zwiebeln, wird auch keine Blüte kommen. #tdil

#TDIL The first four discovered asteroids Vesta, Juno, Pallas, and Ceres were originally thought of as planetary bodies.

Also that the #planets and known #asteroids each had a #astronomic #symbol that was known by astronomers and navigators.

These symbols were once commonly used by professional astronomers, amateur astronomers, alchemists, and astrologers.
