A mystery to most. But it is something very interesting.

WITNESS - “This light source was 100% on the bottom of the ocean, and not something that was floating through the water column. It did not move in the current. The water depth at this specific location was 60’ deep. This object did not have a physical shape that we could detect. It was invisible to our sonar.”

Today we explore Io, the most volcanically active place in the Solar System. Plus, we learn that nearly half of China’s major cities are sinking and discover a connection between queasiness and hunger.

The volcanic activity on Jupiter’s moon Io is caused by friction and heating in its centre due to gravitational interactions with neighbouring moons. (NASA/JPL/University Of Arizona)

All I can say is I took it because I liked the shower falling a few miles to the south....and the chinks of blue sky through the clouds at the top right.

The slow (VERY slow) Spring of 2024 continues....
