this is what i mean
To be clear, THIS is how nights of the future should be lit
This is bat friendly street lighting, which not only looks sick as fuck but allows bats to pass through without disturbance, as they cannot see red.
orange and especially white lights deter bats and prevent them from reaching feeding grounds at nighttime. Please if you can, write to your local council and encourage red street lights!!!!
This would also hugely benefit nesting sea turtles in coastal areas! I imagine bats are similar to turtles in that they can see red light, just not as well as other wavelengths.
Reaching Europa
Oil, 18 x 24 in, 2015
An allegory of our scientific aspirations to explore Jupiter’s moons.
Last week the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) spacecraft was successfully launched on its way to study Jupiter’s moons from orbit, which hold intriguing possibilities for life beyond Earth. Another spacecraft, the Europa Clipper is planned for launch in October 2024.
“The nature of life on earth and the quest for life elsewhere are the two sides of the same question: the search for who we are.”

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “do not stand at my grave and weep” after the poem by mary elizabeth frye. the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]
