🇨🇦 Michael Porter 🇨🇦<p>Question for planetary astonomers:<br>What are the interesting effects of having a big moon (as we do), or being in a binary system like Pluto/Charon?</p><p>I remember that Larry Niven used the presence of a moon, and the tides produced, to some effect in his SF stories (written back in the 60s/70s, so some were made obsolete by later science). </p><p>Some ideas come to mind, with the caveat that a lot of stuff probably depends on the particulars of the formation of the planet in question (e.g. how much spin, and in what direction, did it end up with after accretion was mostly done?)</p><p>Tides: Would having a moon like ours slow cooling of the planet, due to flexing, à la Io?</p><p>In a system like Trappist-1, there's a strong possibility that the planets could be tidally locked to their star, but could having a moon help prevent that, with its own tidal forces?</p><p>This might be a question for biologists, but I'm thinking moonlight must have an effect on plants and animals?</p><p>Could a sufficiently-sized moon have any kind of protective effect, or on the flip side, a negative effefct on the planet? I know that even our own Moon takes up a tiny portion of the sky, so it's not like it's getting in the way of incoming asteroids to any great effect...</p><p>This was all sparked by the recent "Saturn has a buncha moons!!!” headlines, and my memories of teaching that the *number* of moons wasn't the thing I wanted my students to learn, but the *significance* of them. (e.g. Yes, Saturn has a lot of moons, but let's talk about Titan, or Enceladus)</p><p><a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Biology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Biology</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Moons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Moons</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/PlanetaryScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlanetaryScience</span></a></p>
Sam Levine<p>I have no idea how competitive this is (maybe they only get 10 applicants? maybe they get 10,000?) but it might be worth having grad students apply since it looks like the initial application is only a total of 375 words.

Flipboard<p>When Spanish colonizers established a town in the mountains of Bolivia in the 1500s, they might have expected to expand their communities by having babies, but they could not. While Indigenous folks raised families, not a single child of European descent was born for decades.

katch wreck<p>perhaps the purpose of vestigial parts of our anatomy is not always a result of incomplete evolution but because the structure was so important at a previous evolutionary junction, that it would make sense to maintain a vestigial form indefinitely, so that it could be re-implemented more easily, if the need arose again in the future <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/biology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>biology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>evolution</span></a> in this case, it's possible that biology encodes a type of record of all previous evolutionary events, as part of our cellular heritage</p>
D C Fitzgerald<p>Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo) found across much of Eurasia. Females can reach lengths of up to 75 cm- 2.45 ft and weigh between 1.75 to 4.6 kg - 4 to 10 pounds.

Garrett SharpeIt may not look like much, but the light coloring on this little piece of filter paper is around 2 billion marine bacteria. While I've been out sailing along Line P, I'm trapping bacteria on these slips of paper by pumping water through the tiny little holes in the paper that are smaller than the bacteria but large enough for water to slip through. Once I get these to the lab, I can pop the bacteria open to collect their DNA and see who lives in the water and what they can do.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/science?src=hash" title="#science" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/scientist?src=hash" title="#scientist" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scientist</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/marinescience?src=hash" title="#marinescience" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#marinescience</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/marinebiology?src=hash" title="#marinebiology" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#marinebiology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/biology?src=hash" title="#biology" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/microbiology?src=hash" title="#microbiology" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#microbiology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bacteria?src=hash" title="#bacteria" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bacteria</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pacificocean?src=hash" title="#pacificocean" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pacificocean</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/environment?src=hash" title="#environment" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#environment</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/water?src=hash" title="#water" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#water</a>
