MIRAC-5 on the MMT with MAPS: annular groove phase mask N-band coronagraphic upgrade
We describe the coronagraphic upgrade underway for the Mid-Infrared Array Camera-5 (MIRAC-5) to be used with the 6.5-m MMT telescope utilizing the new MMT Adaptive optics exoPlanet characterization System (MAPS). Mid-IR ground-based coronagraphic adaptive-optics-assisted imaging can be a powerful tool for characterizing exoplanet atmospheres and studying protoplanets in formation within circumstellar disks around young stars. In addition to enabling ground-based observations of bright targets i…

Beautiful colors and textures of Fallenbacherspitze (2723m) in the cool evening light of the last day of August... Timeless, yet a distinct feel of autumn quickly approaching...

Ok, yeah, I'm not done processing my anger over liberals doing shit like this. So this historian sees a rise in right wing violence, sees the US government carrying out ethnic cleansing, sees a rise in white supremacist terrorism, and then says, "oh yeah... this reminds me of a time right around the 1920s. Hum... yeah, ANARCHISTS fighting the government! Yeah, that's the same thing."
FFS, IT'S THE RED SUMMER! If you want a parallel between today and some horrible time in US history, TALK ABOUT THE RED SUMMER. The point of the language of dehumanization that the right uses, the point of all the anti-black and anti-emigrant rhetoric, is that it leads to genocide.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I had the privilege this morning of leading a Eucharistic Procession from St. Eulalia Church in Maywood, IL to the ICE Detention Center in Broadview. We went to pray and have a few of us clergy and religious women bring Holy Communion and the love of the Christian community to the men and women detained there under inhumane conditions. Over 1,000 Catholics and other Christians marched in peaceful prayer and song, facilitated by the Maywood and Broadview Police Departments and the Illinois State…
No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ. What we have been able to do for detainees for the past several years, which is written into Illinois law, was refused by this current Federal Government. "Father, forgive the ones who do not know what they are doing." "Have mercy on the souls of those who know exactly what they'…
