...никогда не угаснет лютая ненависть к войне! Мы глубоко чувствуем горе тех, кто сегодня не может встретить своих близких. И мы сделаем все, чтобы будущие невесты никогда не теряли женихов, чтобы матери не дрожали за жизнь своих детей... Летят журавли, 1957

@theiaincameron Barely half that distance but same direction at a tenth of the altitude: this is the Isle of Man from Llandudno a couple of weeks ago. Lake District also visible but not on phone camera.

The longest line of sight in the U.K. has been seen only a few times, and photographed once. In 2015, Kris Williams was atop Snowdon in perfect conditions and managed to snap The Merrick in Southern Scotland. A remarkable distance of 232km (144 miles).

This satellite image shows a place on our planet. Can you tell where it is? (Hint: It’s a long name!) Bonus points if you can tell us what this location has to do with NASA. We’ll share the answer at 1pm ET.

@chalmermagne What report is this from?

They don't want you to know this, but Silicon Valley only happened because academics could go to the state innovation agency for a joined-up view before receiving their cheque from the university proof-of-concept fund.
