ASTRONOMY - Giant Storms and High Clouds on Jupiter
2021 December 29

Explanation: What and where are these large ovals? They are rotating storm clouds on Jupiter imaged last month by NASA's Juno spacecraft. In general, higher clouds are lighter in color, and the lightest clouds visible are the relatively small clouds that dot the lower oval. At 50 kilometers across, however, even these light clouds are not small. They are so high up that they cast shadows on the swirling oval below. The featured image has been processed to enhance color and contrast. Large ovals are usually regions of high pressure that span over 1000 kilometers and can last for years. The largest oval on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot (not pictured), which has lasted for at least hundreds of years. Studying cloud dynamics on Jupiter with Juno images enables a better understanding of dangerous typhoons and hurricanes on Earth.

SANTE/MEDECINE - Comment mieux dormir - Evitez la caféine et la théine (1)
Les fans de café vont être déçus, mieux vaut prendre son dernier expresso après le repas de midi. De même, concernant le thé et les boissons au cola, il est préférable de les arrêter après 16h. Il est en effet prouvé que la caféine rallonge le temps d'endormissement et raccourcit le temps de sommeil. A la place, buvez une tisane de plantes apaisantes (tilleul, verveine, camomille ou fleur d'oranger, mais aussi passiflore, valériane, aubépine et houblon), ou un verre de lait tiède qui exerce un effet sédatif.

ASTRONOMY - Sun Halo over Sweden
2021 December 28
Video Credit & Copyright: Håkan Hammar (Vemdalen Ski Resort, SkiStar)
Explanation: What's happened to the Sun? Sometimes it looks like the Sun is being viewed through a giant lens. In the featured video, however, there are actually millions of tiny lenses: ice crystals. Water may freeze in the atmosphere into small, flat, six-sided, ice crystals. As these crystals flutter to the ground, much time is spent with their faces flat and parallel to the ground. An observer may find themselves in the same plane as many of the falling ice crystals near sunrise or sunset. During this alignment, each crystal can act like a miniature lens, refracting sunlight into our view and creating phenomena like parhelia, the technical term for sundogs. The featured video was taken in late 2017 on the side of a ski hill at the Vemdalen Ski Resort in central Sweden. Visible in the center is the most direct image of the Sun, while two bright sundogs glow prominently from both the left and the right. Also visible is the bright 22 degree halo -- as well as the rarer and much fainter 46 degree halo -- also created by sunlight refracting through atmospheric ice crystals.
