Also "I would rather go to a library than a party"? I mean, there are parties and there are parties. Summer party at the great aunt's nursing home? Let me grab my library card...

I scored 21 on the questionnaire. But then the questions seem fairly transparent in their intention, so I might have been subconsciously gaming my score ;)

Mammatus clouds over London, after the UK recorded 100°F for only the second time in history today.

Transcript of the relevant section, taken from the BBC iPlayer subtitles: So, something must be holding those rings in place, and the answer can be seen in this photograph taken by Voyager 2: You can see a bright, thin ring, which is known as the epsilon ring, and, above it and below it, you...

Don't use apples, use dollars (or your currency of choice). Having a negative number of apples isn't intuitive, but being overdrawn is (for some of us, anyway :( ). If you only have $5 but you have to give someone $6, you are left owing them $1, so you have minus one dollar.

That Google Earth comparison is missing a tall building at the left, which seems to be the Essex on the Park tower. (It only opened this year.)

Somebody with the knowhow needs to do a simulated ground view from the camera location with the KML track superimposed. I could but I won't be on my home computer till tomorrow. @Mick West ?

Are you sure? It was a wide-angle shot (14mm lens), which has a horizontal field of view of about 104 degrees (AFAIK the D850 has a full-frame sensor, i.e. with no crop factor, so the FOV will be the same as for a 35mm film camera). If the camera was pointing east of south (about 28 degrees...

I don't have Google Earth on this computer, but I grabbed the KML file from Flightaware, if anyone wants to play with it.

AA1203 flew almost directly over the camera location (circled) at 4.12am UTC (10.12pm local time), at just under 20,000 feet and climbing. That's about one minute before the first photograph was taken. It was heading almost due east, but if the camera was pointing east of south, that might...

I can’t see any obvious candidates at that time on Planefinder, but it would be helpful to pin down the exact location. As others have said it may be a small plane that wouldn’t show up on flight radar sites.

Do we know the exact location of the photos? At that time, Jupiter (which appears to be the brightest "star" in the sky) was virtually due south (sky chart centred on Tusayan AZ)

According to the magazine, competition for the worst spot in the rankings was particularly fierce this year, with the Mariana Trench competing with locations as far-ranging as Mt. Everest, an industrial slaughterhouse, an iceberg drifting in the Arctic, St. Louis, and the cone of Hawaii’s Mauna...

It's just a letter to the editor in The Guardian newspaper, published on February 9 2012. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/feb/09/at-war-over-geoengineering It appears to have been written in response to an article three days earlier about the feasibility study published by Aurora...

Tallahassee also has a proposed ordinance regulating communications facilities that is anticipated to go before the city commissioners for consideration at a public hearing in January or February 2018. That ordinance was passed in June 2018...

No. It uses data from the NOAA's weather model. GFS, as far as I know. That weather model has grid points 18 miles apart, so the resolution isn't enough to give accurate wind directions in a given spot. If there is a strong overall flow it is probably close, but at the time in question the wind...

My best guess is that it was taken from the rear deck of one of the houses on the east side of East Avenue, around here: https://www.google.com/maps/@34.748264,-112.1105692,224m/data=!3m1!1e3 At a couple of points (eg 0:13 and 0:37) you can see cars driving along State Route 89A in the bottom...
