#OTD 2021: GENIET VAN HET LEKKERE WEER

Sublime release their second album, “Robbin the Hood”
I love this album for its raw authenticity and chaotic flow. Two years after their debut album, this one is more experimental and eclectic, with lots of free flowing dub jams and weird spoken word soliloquies.

#OTD on the 24th of February 2020 the robotics club of Willow Glen High School, which I was a part of, prepared for the #FIRSTRobotics competition. We'd learn later that week that it was going to be cancelled due to the pandemic - I often forget how full of enthusiasm we were before that occurred.

100 years ago #OTD Edwin #Hubble mailed the light curve of a #Cepheid in Messier 31 to Harlow Shapley who allegedly (a report about his immediate reaction was only published many decades later; contemporary sources seem lacking) immediately accepted the existence of other galaxies - a timeline of events related to this key insight based on numerous sources: https://www.facebook.com/dan.fischer.393/posts/pfbid02D7dy3mNRVXa9fi8mWeY5q6KJrUnMcSPi62CYejCLy5ha2XPhH6wXJsNgN5aHLvcAl (corrections and additions, especially about other reactions, for the years 1922 to 1926 welcome).

#OTD on March 13th 2020 my school in San Jose, Willow Glen High School, announced a “two weeks break” in light of the Covid pandemic. Little did we know that this was the beginning of a nation wide lockdown causing this school to close for over a year.

25 years ago #OTD an #AnnularSolarEclipse with an extremely thin ring could be observed in Western Australia - and I could easily (with a €40 telephoto lens, no filter whatsoever) photograph the chromosphere and even the inner corona: a quick report from back then can be found at https://geocities.restorativland.org/CapeCanaveral/5599/aus99/story.html with more pictures at https://geocities.restorativland.org/CapeCanaveral/5599/aus99/first.html
