I donβt know why, but I particularly found this interesting.
Also, great photo.
If we could see in infraredβ¦
β¦light shining from all our crevices.
Some people can see in ultraviolet, but AFAIK nobody can see infrared
But we can see infra-yellow!
My guide supplied me a 50 watt halogen spotlight fitted with a deep red filter to watch at close range a bunch of rare native mammals including Western barred-bandicoots, Woylies, and Bilbies. To my dismay the animals behaved as if they were oblivious to the red light and their pupils remained fully dilated even when my spotlight was only a couple of metres away. More recently I found the same was true when watching Kiwis on Stewart Island in NZ. Some game parks in Africa also use red light exclusively for spotlighting at night.
My curiosity got the better of me as I had recently paid big money for an infrared viewer to watch owls nesting, only to discover you can view them more clearly without disturbance by using a cheap deep-red light and a pair of binocs.
Sorry about that. I blame the beans I had at lunch. Whatβs worse is Saturn wonβt shut up about it!
Definitely not silent.
Harumph! A moon should be free to let loose in her own home without her neighbors listening in.
Well, in space no one can hear you fart.
Once Alexa hears it, itβs all over the solar system.
I once farted in an echo chamber. I never heard the end of it.
I still think they should call it Hindsight.
But it wonβt land until 2021.
Exactly.
