Wikipedia Picture of the Day: 2023-09-26 - Edward Bouchet (Narrated by Salli)
Wikipedia Picture of the Day - September 26th, 2023 - Edward Bouchet (Narrated by Salli)
Edward Bouchet (1852–1918) was an American physicist and educator. He was the first African American to earn a PhD from an American university, completing his dissertation in physics at Yale University in 1876. Bouchet had become one of the first African Americans to graduate from Yale College in 1874. On the basis of his academic record, he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, an academic honor society. Unable to find a university-teaching or research-facility position due to racial discrimination, he moved to Philadelphia in 1876 and took a position at the Institute for Colored Youth, where he taught physics and chemistry for the next 26 years. This photograph of Bouchet, from the archives of Yale, is part of a portrait album of students in the class of 1874.

Wikipedia Picture of the Day - June 24th, 2023 - Södermanland Runic Inscription 113 (Narrated by Amy)
Södermanland Runic Inscription 113 is a 10th-century runic inscription engraved on a 0.9 m by 0.5 m (35 in by 20 in) granite runestone in Södermanland, Sweden. The runestone was found in 1856 on a hill believed to have once had many other graves and monuments, and is thought to have originally stood atop a burial mound before falling over and being buried. The inscription is written in Old Norse using the Younger Futhark alphabet, and reads (transliterated into the Latin script): Þaiʀ situ stin, suniʀ Þurkitils auk Fulku, hiar faþur auk muþur iftiʀ. Kiarþu trikila, meaning: 'They placed the stone here, the sons of Þorketill and Folka, in memory of their father and mother. Made valiantly.' This photograph of the inscription was taken by Otto von Friesen, who owned the runestone in the early 20th century.

Astronomy Picture of the Day - January 14th, 2021 - Aurora Slathers Up the Sky (Narrated by Joanna)
Like salsa verde on your favorite burrito, a green aurora slathers up the sky in this 2017 June 25 snapshot from the International Space Station. About 400 kilometers (250 miles) above Earth, the orbiting station is itself within the upper realm of the auroral displays. Aurorae have the signature colors of excited molecules and atoms at the low densities found at extreme altitudes. Emission from atomic oxygen dominates this view. The tantalizing glow is green at lower altitudes, but rarer reddish bands extend above the space station's horizon. The orbital scene was captured while passing over a point south and east of Australia, with stars above the horizon at the right belonging to the constellation Canis Major, Orion's big dog. Sirius, alpha star of Canis Major, is the brightest star near the Earth's limb.

Astronomy Picture of the Day - November 18th, 2022 - The Protostar within L1527 (Narrated by Brian)
The protostar within dark cloud L1527 is a mere 100,000 years old, still embedded in the cloud of gas and dust that feeds its growth. In this NIRCam image from the James Webb Space Telescope, the dark band at the neck of the infrared nebula is a thick disk that surrounds the young stellar object. Viewed nearly edge-on and a little larger than our Solar System, the disk ultimately supplies material to the protostar while hiding it from Webb's direct infrared view. The nebula itself is seen in stunning detail though. Illuminated by infrared light from the protostar, the hourglass-shaped nebula's cavities are created as material ejected in the star-forming process plows through the surrounding medium. As the protostar gains mass it will eventually become a full-fledged star, collapsing and igniting nuclear fusion in its core. A likely analog to our own Sun and Solar System in their early infancy, the protostar within dark cloud L1527 lies some 460 light-years distant in the Taurus star-forming region. Webb's NIRCam image spans about 0.3 light-years.

Wikipedia Picture of the Day - January 18th, 2023 - Eureka Inn (Narrated by Matthew)
The Eureka Inn is a hotel in Eureka, California, built in the Elizabethan Tudor Revival architectural style. Opened in 1922, it was purchased in 1960 by Helen Barnum, the matriarch of a successful timber family in the county, before being sold to John Biord after Barnum's death in 1993. In 2004, the inn was closed after tax defaults by its owner, reopening in 2010 after the businessman Libo Zhu purchased and refurbished it. In February 1982, the structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This photograph shows the Eureka Inn's entrance hall as seen in 2020.

almost-half-of-new-cars-sold-in-norway
Beautiful News Daily - January 25th, 2020 - Almost Half of New Cars Sold in Norway Are Electric (Narrated by Amy)
Norway’s leading the electric vehicle revolution. It’s been giving incentives to EV owners for 30 years. Lower taxes. Tolls waived. Free parking. And massive investment in charging stations.
The country aimed to get 50,000 EVs on the road by 2018. It hit the target three years early. It now aims to stop sales of petrol cars by 2025.

Astronomy Picture of the Day - July 25th, 2021 - Crescent Neptune and Triton (Narrated by Brian)
Gliding silently through the outer Solar System, the Voyager 2 spacecraft camera captured Neptune and Triton together in crescent phase. The elegant picture of the gas giant planet and its cloudy moon was taken from behind just after closest approach in 1989. It could not have been taken from Earth because Neptune never shows a crescent phase to sunward Earth. The unusual vantage point also robs Neptune of its familiar blue hue, as sunlight seen from here is scattered forward, and so is reddened like the setting Sun. Neptune is smaller but more massive than Uranus, has several dark rings, and emits more light than it receives from the Sun.

Wikipedia Picture of the Day - July 11th, 2021 - Emily J. Harding (Narrated by Emma)
Emily J. Harding (1850–1940) was a British artist, illustrator and suffragette, and a member of the Artists' Suffrage League. This poster, created by Harding around 1907 to 1918 in support of the suffrage movement in the United Kingdom, depicts a woman wearing an academic cap and gown standing inside a locked gate with a "convict" and a "lunatic", to illustrate the fact that none of the three had a vote for Parliament.
