Today's $20 pickup is an Atwater Kent Model 40 radio (and its accompanying speaker), circa 1927. Previous owner said it smoked when he plugged it in. Let's take a look. 🔍📻⚡️ #radio #electronics

Oof, that paper was a schematic at one point. Must've been ripped to shreds by mice, who got inside by way of the convenient mouse access port located at the rear of the chassis.

Two telescopes, two epochs, the same nebula. You might have to stare for a little bit to fully appreciate all the movement going. Apologies to any faint stars who got deleted. I tried to remove the NICMOS PSFs from the Hubble view (which is lower resolution/blurrier)

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

Born #OnThisDay in 1887 was Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. Despite having almost no training in mathematics, he is regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He became one of the youngest Fellows in the Royal Society's history when he was elected in 1918 at the age of 31.
