Retelling a story

Then there was this orchard planet which got heavily infested by a species as there were no natural predators for the species. The warden of the planet was keenly interested in diversity, but this was just too much. After consultation with other wardens, he decided not to totally eradicate the species, but to transplant some specimens to another planet. When questioned:"Are you certain the species won't destroy the ecosphere of this place?", his reply was:"Yes, see those Smilodons and other predators? They will keep their numbers down."

accuracy

...and the results of this study point to the existence of quantum entanglement in macroscopic systems. The greatest difficulties in conducting the experiment were the vibrational effects on the insulated vacuum walls in zero-gravity that held the observed ice cubes. Even the lab-assistant performing the measurements had to be clad in breathing apparatus as his uneven breathing would have ruined the results. Additionally, he couldn't move for 30 minutes before the measurements as the system stabilized from the effects of opening the lab door...

...the ancient dwellers in the ocean were increasingly annoyed by the heat coming from the surface. Their chief scientist had proposed concerted effort to keep the heat out of the water saying, "let it go back the way it came." Eventually a consensus was reached. On the surface the temperatures started to rise as the dwellers started to release their pools of deep ice.

The alfa Corvi delta incident

Then there was this planet with a subcrust from of carbonaceus asteroids that the people of the only continent, surrounded by the world ocean, on the planet, had been using to their advantage for as long as anyone could remember. Then a small meteorite hit the continent, this lead to loss of buoyancy, and later the planet was used only by sport fishers, marine archeologist and scavengers.

coincidence or not?

Ah, weird, just occurred to me that 255K is pretty close to 0F. Did Fahrenheit calculate the blackbody temperature of the earth?

Gaseous Tetris

Just a mechanistic phrase for stagnant air.

dull sky

Bunch of stratocumuli gathered up, but is this now the new (asperatus) cloud? Contrast has been enhanced. sorry about the flare.

went outside and took another photo which somehow is the first one in the note. Produced only light drizzle.
