Finally an RGB image of comet #3IATLAS from images taken by #GeminiNorth during the 26 November #shadowTheScientists session: noirlab.edu/public/news/noirla - the coma has become bluer due to more gas emission. Also published today: an X-ray image by XMM-Newton at esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/ with explanations in cbat.eps.harvard.edu/iau/cbet/ which also contains more 3I news.
Meanwhile the paper iopscience.iop.org/article/10. claims an upper limit for 3I's nucleus diameter of only some 750 meters from the measured non-gravitational acceleration (NGA) parameters: that would be waaay more stringent than the 5.6 km upper limit from early Hubble observations reported in iopscience.iop.org/article/10. (where also a lower limit of 440 meters is stated).

Measuring dissimilarity between convex cones by means of max-min angles
Welington de Oliveira, Valentina Sessa, David Sossa
arxiv.org/abs/2511.10483 arxiv.org/pdf/2511.10483 arxiv.org/html/2511.10483
arXiv:2511.10483v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This work introduces a novel dissimilarity measure between two convex cones, based on the max-min angle between them. We demonstrate that this measure is closely related to the Pompeiu-Hausdorff distance, a well-established metric for comparing compact sets. Furthermore, we examine cone configurations where the measure admits simplified or analytic forms. For the specific case of polyhedral cones, a nonconvex cutting-plane method is deployed to compute, at least approximately, the measure between them. Our approach builds on a tailored version of Kelley's cutting-plane algorithm, which involves solving a challenging master program per iteration. When this master program is solved locally, our method yields an angle that satisfies certain necessary optimality conditions of the underlying nonconvex optimization problem yielding the dissimilarity measure between the cones. As an application of the proposed mathematical and algorithmic framework, we address the image-set classification task under limited data conditions, a task that falls within the scope of the \emph{Few-Shot Learning} paradigm. In this context, image sets belonging to the same class are modeled as polyhedral cones, and our dissimilarity measure proves useful for understanding whether two image sets belong to the same class.

Silent phone video of a person pouring some liquid (developer) into a photo development tray with a pre-exposed coated piece of paper. Immediately after the developer comes in contact with the paper, an image quickly appears with progressively more contrast. The whole time the person keeps on agitating the liquid in the tray to ensure an even development process (usually this fully stage lasts 5-10 mins, depending on developer used)

Eyewitnesses say Iranian government forces have begun opening fire,
apparently with automatic weapons and at times seemingly indiscriminately,
on unarmed protesters.
Hospital workers say protesters had been coming in with pellet injuries but now arrive with gunshot wounds and skull fractures.
One doctor called it a “mass-casualty situation.”
Despite the communications blockade, a recurring image has made its way out of Iran:
rows and rows of body bags.

You do not vote syndicalist, you organize syndicalist, so treating it like an election choice in Kaiserreich is fundamentally silly.
Because of that, I’m buying myself Hearts of Iron IV just to install Kaiserreich and laugh at it.

Black-and-white historical photograph of a large urban building completely covered in political banners and murals promoting syndicalism, including slogans like Unite against upper class oppression and imperialism, vote syndicalist, and list 3, with workers depicted raising flags and crowds of pedestrians walking past on the street below, suggesting an election campaign staged in a strongly working-class, revolutionary aesthetic.

netpbm tools are a suite of tools to convert and fiddle with the ppm/pbm/pgm (collectively pnm) file formats, which are pretty much the simplest image formats on the planet, which even have an ASCII version; so if you have a simple script you want to generate simple images with they're a good choice of format, and if you have them, the pbm tools can convert to/from pretty much anything else or do simple scale/etc - lighter than ImageMagick say.

When I was walking down from the mountains recently I noticed the frost on the trees and branches -- and some single leafs that were still around.
I really liked this extra touch of color in the grey surrounding. And that it's just a little detail on the huge mountain.
#photography #winter

This image captures a delicate and serene winter scene in a forest. The branches of the trees are coated with a thin layer of frost, creating a beautiful, crystalline effect. The frost highlights the intricate patterns of the branches, giving them a magical, almost fairy-tale-like appearance.

A few brown leaves still cling to the branches, adding a touch of autumnal color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the frosted branches in the foreground …

A magical autumnal scene unfolds in this serene forest setting. The forest floor is carpeted with a thick layer of golden and orange leaves, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Sunlight filters through the tall trees, casting a soft, golden glow that illuminates the scene and highlights the vibrant colors of the foliage.
