@cosmos4u@scicomm.xyzIt seems likely that a bright #fireball on the morning of the 12th dropped #meteorites in #Bavaria, says the Czech analysis https://meteor.asu.cas.cz/cz/post/bolid_2026_02_12/ based on data from special cameras: the body came in slowly and at a very shallow angle, so the potential strewnfield is huge and thus a systematic search not viable, and one can only hope for discoveries by chance.
@smurthys@hachyderm.ioSunday: 2°C outside (felt like -1) and figured it was a good time for a hike in the woods, hills, and fields of #Bavaria on a trail I've been eyeing for a couple of years now. Muddy trails for about half the distance but easily negotiated.🚶♂️🌲
Would've liked if the walk was longer but 10.7kms felt good, especially after a 2-month break in any such activity.

@smurthys@hachyderm.ioCaught me some "Schäfflertanz", a dance custom dating back to 19th century coopers (makers of bins, barrels, etc.) of Old #Bavaria, #Germany. Performances in modern times are apparently on a 7-year cycle.

@smurthys@hachyderm.ioWhy the #pretzel—baked worldwide—is shaped the way it is, according to the Wiesender Bakery.
In short: it symbolizes folded arms for prayer.
PS: This is a picture I took today of a wall poster.
