So into doodling, that they regularly scratched doodles into the walls of pretty much everything: public buildings like temples or theaters, latrines, brothels, tombs, and even the elaborately frescoed walls of elite villas. One of these doodles is thought to be among the first known caricatures. It shows the profile of Mr. Magoo's ancestor, below the helpful label 'Rufus est,' which translates to…'This is Rufus.'" ;) caricature "...on the wall of the atrium of the Villa of the Mysteries, one of the most luxurious residences in Pompeii.

September 28, 2017 / "This photograph, taken from the International Space Station (ISS), shows the sweep of the coastline of the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The cluster of lights at image center includes the major population centers of the Levant. The brightest lights are the cities of Tel Aviv in Israel, Amman in Jordan, and Beirut in Lebanon.
"Other light clusters include the Nile Delta in Egypt, and a nearby thin string of lights revealing the Suez Canal. The more scattered lights of the Turkish coastline and the country's mountainous interior arc from top left to top center.
"Populations are small in the deserts of the Middle East, so few lights appear in vast portions of Saudi Arabia (right), Syria (top center) and Iraq (top right). The largest population centers cluster where water is available, especially along the great rivers of the region, the Tigris and Euphrates. In Iraq, the capital city Baghdad stands as the brightest spot where these rivers meet.
"Images such as this also show the hints of conflict. In Syria, darkness now reigns along a 300-kilometer stretch where lights use to line the Euphrates River in the east of the country. This has left most of eastern Syria in the dark.

This illustration shows a proposed model for a mysterious astronomical event called a Fast-Evolving Luminous Transient (FELT). In the left panel, an aging red giant star loses mass via a stellar wind. This balloons into a huge gaseous shell around the star. In the center panel, the massive star’s core implodes to trigger a supernova explosion. In the right panel, the supernova shockwave plows into the outer shell, converting the kinetic energy from the explosion into a brilliant burst of light. The flash of radiation lasts for only a few days — one-tenth the duration of a typical supernova explosion.

from https://webbtelescope.org/contents/media/images/2023/149/01HGH0B1SB5Z2J55QKBZFFQWGH Dec. 14, 2023 see https://www.nasa.gov/missions/webb/nasas-webb-stuns-with-new-high-definition-look-at-exploded-star/ "This image provides a side-by-side comparison of supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A) as captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument).

At first glance, Webb’s NIRCam image appears less colorful than the MIRI image overall, however, this is only due to the wavelengths in which the material from the object is emitting its light. The NIRCam image appears a bit sharper than the MIRI image due to its increased resolution.

The outskirts of the main inner shell, which appeared as a deep orange and red in the MIRI image, looks like smoke from a campfire in the NIRCam image. This marks where the supernova blast wave is ramming into surrounding circumstellar material. The dust in the circumstellar material is too cool to be detected directly at near-infrared wavelengths, but lights up in the mid-infrared.

Also not seen in the near-infrared view is the loop of green light in the central cavity of Cas A that glowed in mid-infrared, nicknamed the Green Monster by the research team. The circular holes visible in the MIRI image within the Green Monster, however, are faintly outlined in white and purple emission in the NIRCam image.

from https://www.mdpi.com/2813-6284/2/1/1 "Figure 27. Age-independent growth curves for a large, old Tyrannosaurus, Sue FMNH PR 2081 (red, circles), and two Nanotyrannus, Petey BMRP 2006.4.4 (green, triangles) and Jane BMRP 2002.4.1 (dark blue, squares), corrected for split multi-LAGs as in Cullen et al. [49]. LAG #1 and the periosteum are not included in the regressions shown here. Four different growth models are fit to each specimen: logistic (solid), Gompertz (dashed), logarithmic (dotted), and von Bertalanffy (dot—dash). Horizontal black lines are asymptotic masses derived from logistic regressions of multiple individuals (i.e., multiple specimens used in the regression, with each specimen assigned a single mass and age at death) from Longrich et al. (in review) and are presented in decreasing order as follows: Tyrannosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Albertosaurus. Results are similar to those deriving from regressions that include LAG #1 and the periosteum (Supplemental Material)."
