  2. We just dropped our honest verdict on Yakushima — Japan's mossy UNESCO island. $73 jetfoil, $42 beds, 22km ancient-cedar trek. The weak yen makes it tempting, but rain, ferry cancellations & brutal logistics? We break down real 2026 costs & who should skip it.

  3. Kosmische Spuren in uralten Bäumen: Was sind Miyake-Ereignisse?

    Irgendwann zu Beginn der 2010er Jahre steht die Doktorandin Fusa Miyake zum ersten Mal vor einer sehr alten Baumscheibe. Es ist eine Scheibe aus dem Stamm einer Japanischen Zeder, die 2000 Jahre lang auf der Insel Yakushima im Süden Japans gewachsen war. Die Aufgabe der jungen Physikerin: Sie soll die einzelnen Wachstumsringe des Baumes untersuchen, um mehr über die Sonnenaktivität im achten Jahrhundert herauszufinden, die dort chemische Spuren hinterlassen hat. In gewisser Weise erreicht Miyake wenige Jahre später ihr Ziel, allerdings deutlich spektakulärer als sie oder ihr Doktorvater Betreuer das erwartetet hatten. Zum Ende ihrer Doktorarbeit publiziert sie eine Studie im renommierten Magazin „Nature“ und berichtet: Der Gehalt an Kohlenstoff-14 war im achten Jahrhundert Jahr für Jahr unauffällig, stieg aber plötzlich innerhalb nur eines Jahres an. Im Jahr 774 muss die Menge des radioaktiven Nuklids in der Atmosphäre ganz plötzlich stark zugenommen haben. Warum – das ist damals noch völlig unklar. Karl erzählt in dieser Folge von einem rätselhaften Phänomen, das wenig später den Namen der japanischen Physikerin erhält. Miyake-Ereignisse beschäftigten schon bald Astrophysiker weltweit, als klar wurde: Es handelt sich um ein global nachweisbares Phänomen, in uralten Bäumen genauso wie im Gletschereis der Antarktis. Dessen Ursprung liegt höchstwahrscheinlich nicht auf der Erde. Hinzu kommt: Es blieb nicht bei einem einzelnen Ereignis im Jahr 774. Bis heute fanden Forschende neun derartige Ereignisse aus den letzten 14.000 Jahren, sieben gelten als gesichert. Nur in unserer modernen Welt fehlt jegliche Erinnerung daran. Denn das letzte Miyake-Ereignis fand man in Baumringen aus dem Jahr 993. Was den Zustrom der radioaktiven Nuklide ausgelöst hatte, ist lange unklar. Im Gespräch sind Supernova-Explosionen oder sogar exotische Gammablitze irgendwo in der Nachbarschaft des Planetensystems. Schon bald rückt auch die Sonne in den Fokus der Forschung. Was auch immer die Ursache war: Die Spuren der Miyake-Ereignisse haben bereits etliche Disziplinen beeinflusst. Dank ihnen gelang es, die Radiokarbonmethode zur Altersdatierung deutlich zu verbessern. Vereinzelt konnten sogar Jahrtausende zurückliegende Ereignisse aus der Geschichte aufs Jahr genau datiert werden. Episodenbild: CC0 Gabriel Jimenez / Unsplash

    Deer grazing drove an assemblage-level evolution of plant dwarfism in an insular system besjournals.onlinelibrary.wile

    "On #Yakushima island, #SikaDeer might have forced #flora to shrink as small as a tenth of the size of their mainland counterparts... Miniaturised #plants are found all over the world, but these are usually a reaction to environmental factors such as cold, dry or windy conditions"

  16. This is Gate 1 at Yakushima Airport. We left Yakushima yesterday through this gate.
    Yakushima Airport has one gate and only one gate. It’s called Gate 1.

  17. I return from my walk through the old growth cedar forest of Yakushima. I review the day’s MLB box scores. I see that the Rockies gave up 7 runs to the Dodgers in the top of the 9th to squander a 9-4 lead and lose 11-9. I drink lots of local Shochu.
