Sansa is our pick to hold the Iron Throne when Game of Thrones comes to a close.
Read more on: bit.ly/2g2x5gq
Tracking the evolution of a Game of Thrones character is always fascinating, from Arya’s transformation into badass assassin, to Tyrion’s transition from reluctant Lannister loyalist to right-hand man of the prospective Queen that would displace his own sister. In the case of Sansa Stark, we’ve watched a girl become a woman in the most difficult ways imaginable. Sansa’s endured the deaths...

WE'RE SO FILTHY RICH YOU POOR SLOBS! - Then the slimeball locked down her account. // Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin's wife Louise Linton is facing a backlash for an Instagram post -- later deleted -- that touted the couple's wealth. The post began with a glamorous photo of Linton stepping off an official government plane on a trip to Kentucky with her husband, who was there to discuss tax reform with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and visit Fort Knox. //

Brain's self-regulation in teens at risk for obesity
In a small study that scanned the brains of teenagers while exposing them to tempting "food cues," researchers report that reduced activity in the brain's "self-regulation" system may be an important early predictor of adult obesity.The researchers used functional MRI (fMRI) scans on 36 New York teenagers to measure neural responses to food cues and found that food stimuli in the form of words activated regions of the brain associated with reward and emotion in both overweight and lean teens. However, participants who were lean at the time but considered at increased risk for adult obesity because of family history had less neural activity in the brain's self-regulation and attention areas than lean adolescents with lean mothers. In a report of the study's findings, published July 25 in NeuroImage, the investigators suggest that reduced activity in the brain's self-regulation system may be a better predictor of obesity than heightened responses of the reward system to food cues.

Light Echoes from V838 Mon
What caused this outburst of V838 Mon? For reasons unknown, star V838 Mon's outer surface suddenly greatly expanded with the result that it became the brightest star in the entire Milky Way Galaxy in January 2002. Then, just as suddenly, it faded.
A stellar flash like this had never been seen before - supernovas and novas expel matter out into space. Although the V838 Mon flash appears to expel material into space, what is seen in the above image from the Hubble Space Telescope is actually an outwardly moving light echo of the bright flash.
In a light echo, light from the flash is reflected by successively more distant rings in the complex array of ambient interstellar dust that already surrounded the star.
V838 Mon lies about 20,000 light years away toward the constellation of the unicorn (Monoceros), while the light echo above spans about six light years in diameter.

Glendale, CA
Once in a while a group of people showcase their wonderful crafted and restored cars. It is like a time travel back in time, with a little hint of the future.
The amount of love they put into each detail of the cars is amazing. This kind of passion is palpable all over the place. I hope they can see my "Tiny Planet" as an appreciation of their craft.
BTW, I'm safely back from this time-travel, it was nearly have century!

Escape From Totality -- Glendo, Wyoming
The total solar eclipse of 2017 in North America as seen from the vicinity of Glendo, Wyoming yesterday... This was taken just a few seconds after totality had ended, as the first burst of rays appeared over the edge of the moon. Totality itself was an incredible experience, but I thought the first few seconds just past totality were the most photographically interesting , because there's simply more going on, visually. You can even see a few solar flares in the 12 to 3 o'clock position.
It was amazing how instantly the entire experience changed between 99% totality and 100% totality. You knew the very instant that complete totality had been reached because it was literally as if someone had just flipped the light switch off, and everything changed from pseudo-daylight to pre-dawn in an instant, with the exception that the entire horizon (all 360º of it) glowed with a pre-dawn glow rather than just the eastern horizon. Crickets started chirping. The temperature dropped noticeably. The wind stopped. And it was altogether one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had. My only regret was that it was all so brief and rushed - my fingers were flying trying to find the best combination of camera settings and take as many photos as possible, and I was also doing my darnedest to just experience it as well. I was able to do both, but not with the leisure or calm I would've liked. Totality only lasted for 2 minutes and 27 seconds from my location.
At any rate, if you've never experienced a total eclipse, then it's totally worth doing so if you ever have the opportunity (no pun intended). :-)

Dino-killing asteroid could have thrust Earth into two years of darkness | #Geology #GeologyPage
Tremendous amounts of soot, lofted into the air from global wildfires following a massive asteroid strike 66 million years ago, would have plunged Earth into darkness for nearly two years, new research finds.

Happy belated birthday to one of my favourite TARDIS teams: Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred who's birthdays were both on Sunday! Loved these two together. Too bad they didn't have more of a chance on the show, but thank goodness for Big Finish audios!

NASA's EPIC View of 2017 Eclipse Across America | DSCOVR
Aug 22, 2017: From a million miles out in space, NASA’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) captured 12 natural color images of the moon’s shadow crossing over North America on Aug. 21, 2017.
EPIC is aboard NOAA’s Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), where it photographs the full sunlit side of Earth every day, giving it a unique view of total solar eclipses.
