Tournament Earth: The Earthly Eight

nasa:
To celebrate Earth Observatory’s 20th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, we asked readers to pick our all-time best image. We have already completed two rounds of voting, which led to two rounds of stunning upsets. As we head into round 3, only two of the top eight seeds (#1s and #2s) remain. It is time now to cast your votes for the best of the Earthly 8. Voting ends on April 13 at 9 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time.
The nominees are separated into four groups: Past Winners, Home Planet, Land & Ice, and Sea & Sky. Check out the contenders still in the game:
Past Winners: Ocean Sand, Bahamas (#5 seed) vs. A View from Saturn (#2 seed)
Though the above image may resemble a new age painting straight out of an art gallery in Venice Beach, California, it is in fact a satellite image of the sands and seaweed in the Bahamas. The image was taken by the Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) instrument aboard the Landsat 7 satellite. Tides and ocean currents in the Bahamas sculpted the sand and seaweed beds into these multicolored, fluted patterns in much the same way that winds sculpted the vast sand dunes in the Sahara Desert.
This beautiful image of Saturn and its rings looks more like an artist’s creation than a real image, but in fact, the image is a composite (layered image) made from 165 images taken by the wide-angle camera on the Cassini spacecraft over nearly three hours on September 15, 2006. Scientists created the color in the image by digitally compositing ultraviolet, infrared, and clear-filter images and then adjusting the final image to resemble natural color. (A clear filter is one that allows in all the wavelengths of light the sensor is capable of detecting.) This image is a closeup view of the upper left quadrant of the rings, through which Earth is visible in the far, far distance. The full image can be seen here.
Home Planet: Twin Marbles (#1 seed) vs. Fire in the Sky and on the Ground (#7 seed)
A day’s clouds. The shape and texture of the land. The living ocean. City lights as a beacon of human presence across the globe. This amazingly beautiful view of Earth from space is a fusion of science and art, a showcase for the remote-sensing technology that makes such views possible, and a testament to the passion and creativity of the scientists who devote their careers to understanding how land, ocean, and atmosphere—even life itself—interact to generate Earth’s unique (as far as we know!) life-sustaining environment.
Astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) used a digital camera to capture several hundred photographs of the aurora australis, or “southern lights,” while passing over the Indian Ocean on September 17, 2011. If you click on this movie, you can see the flowing ribbons and rays below as the ISS passed from south of Madagascar to just north of Australia between 17:22 and 17:45 Universal Time. Solar panels and other sections of the ISS fill some of the upper right side of the photograph.
Auroras are a spectacular sign that our planet is electrically and magnetically connected to the Sun. These light shows are provoked by energy from the Sun and fueled by electrically charged particles trapped in Earth’s magnetic field, or magnetosphere. In this case, the space around Earth was stirred up by an explosion of hot, ionized gas from the Sun—a coronal mass ejection—that left the Sun on September 14, 2011.
Ice and Land: Sand Dunes (#8 seed) vs. Retreat of Columbia Glacier (#6 seed)
Mountains of sand, some as tall as 300 meters (1000 feet), reach from the floor of Africa’s Namib Desert toward the sky. Driven by wind, these dunes march across the desert, bordered to the west by the Atlantic Ocean and in other directions by solid, rocky land.
The abrupt transition from sand to land is visible in this image, acquired on November 13, 2019, by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8. They show the northern extent of the Namib Sand Sea—a field of sand dunes spanning more than 3 million hectares (more than 10,000 square miles) within the Namib-Naukluft Park, which was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2013. Sand appears red, painted by a layer of iron oxide.
Scientists have long studied Alaska’s fast-moving Columbia Glacier, a tidewater glacier that descends through the Chugach Mountains into Prince William Sound. Yet the river of ice continues to deliver new surprises.
The image series begins in July 1986 (bottom image) with a false-color image captured by the Thematic Mapper ™ sensor on the Landsat 5 satellite. The false-color image from July 2014 (top image), acquired by the Operational Land Imager on the Landsat 8 satellite, shows the extent of retreat after 28 years. Use the image comparison tool to better see the details.
Sea and Sky: Atafu Atoll, Tokelau (#8 seed) vs. Raikoke Erupts (#6 seed)
At roughly eight kilometers wide, Atafu Atoll is the smallest of three atolls and one island (Nukunonu and Fakaofo Atolls to the southeast and Swains Island to the south are not shown) comprising the Tokelau Islands group located in the southern Pacific Ocean. The primary settlement on Atafu is a village located at the northwestern corner of the atoll. The typical ring shape of the atoll is the result of coral reefs building up around a former volcanic island.
Unlike some of its perpetually active neighbors on the Kamchatka Peninsula, Raikoke Volcano on the Kuril Islands rarely erupts. The small, oval-shaped island most recently exploded in 1924 and in 1778.
The dormant period ended around 4:00 a.m. local time on June 22, 2019, when a vast plume of ash and volcanic gases shot up from its 700-meter-wide crater. Several satellites—as well as astronauts on the International Space Station—observed as a thick plume rose and then streamed east as it was pulled into the circulation of a storm in the North Pacific.
On the morning of June 22, astronauts shot this photograph of the volcanic plume rising in a narrow column and then spreading out in a part of the plume known as the umbrella region. That is the area where the density of the plume and the surrounding air equalize and the plume stops rising. The ring of clouds at the base of the column appears to be water vapor.

so is this plants actually moving their leaves or is it airflow?
These are prayer plants (Marantaceae family), and as you can tell by the name, they naturally move their leaves up and down.

« Each phase of capitalism has a particular affect which holds it together. As long as the dominant affect is [personalised], it remains effective, and strategies against it will not emerge. The problem is only visible at an individual, psychological level; the social causes of the problem are concealed. Each phase blames the system’s victims for the suffering that the system causes.
[Until WWII], the dominant affect was misery. In the 19th century, the dominant narrative was that capitalism leads to general enrichment. The public secret of this narrative was the misery of the working class. … When misery stopped working as a control strategy, capitalism switched to boredom. In the mid-20th century, the dominant public narrative was that the standard of living—which widened access to consumption, healthcare and education—was rising. Everyone in the rich countries was happy, and the poor countries were on their way to development. The public secret was that everyone was bored. This was an effect of the Fordist system which was prevalent until the 1980s—a system based on full-time jobs for life, guaranteed welfare, mass consumerism, … and the co-optation of the labour movement which had been built to fight misery. Job security and welfare provision reduced misery, but jobs were boring, made up of simple, repetitive tasks.
If the first wave of social movements were a machine for fighting misery, the second wave (of the 1960s-70s) were a machine for fighting boredom. Most tactics of this era were/are ways to escape the work-consume-die cycle. … In the feminist movement, the “housewife malaise” was theorised as systemic in the 1960s. … The mid-century reorientation from misery to boredom was crucial to the emergence of a new wave of revolt. We are the tail end of this wave. Just as the tactics of the first wave still work when fighting misery, so the tactics of the second wave still work when fighting boredom. The difficulty is that we are less often facing boredom as the main enemy. This is why militant resistance is caught in its current impasse.
Capitalism has largely absorbed the struggle against boredom. … Companies have adopted flattened management models inciting employees to not only manage, but invest their souls in, their work. Consumer society now provides a wider range of niche products and constant distraction. … Capitalism has encouraged the growth of mediatised secondary identities—the self portrayed through social media, visible consumption, and lifelong learning—which have to be obsessively maintained.
In contemporary capitalism, the dominant reactive affect is anxiety. Today’s public secret is that everyone is anxious. When discussed at all, [anxiety] is understood as individual psychological problems, often blamed on faulty thought patterns or poor adaptation. All forms of intensity, self-expression, emotional connection, immediacy, and enjoyment are now laced with anxiety. It has become the linchpin of subordination. One major part of the social underpinning of anxiety is the multi-faceted omnipresent web of surveillance. We need to think about the ways in which a neoliberal idea of success inculcates these surveillance mechanisms inside the subjectivities and life-stories of most of the population. We need to think about how people’s deliberate and ostensibly voluntary self-exposure, through social media, visible consumption and choice of positions within the field of opinions, also assumes a performance in the field of the perpetual gaze of virtual others. We need to think about the ways in which this gaze inflects how we find, measure and know one another, as co-actors in an infinitely watched perpetual performance.
… The present dominant affect of anxiety is also known as precarity. Precarity is a type of insecurity which treats people as disposable so as to impose control. Precarity differs from misery in that the necessities of life are not simply absent. They are available, but withheld conditionally. Precarity leads to generalised hopelessness; a constant bodily excitation without release. … The situation feels hopeless and inescapable, but it isn’t. It feels this way because of effects of precarity—constant over-stress, the contraction of time into an eternal present, the vulnerability of each separated (or systemically mediated) individual, the system’s dominance of all aspects of social space. … Structurally, the system is vulnerable. The reliance on anxiety is a desperate measure, used in the absence of stronger forms of conformity.
If the first wave [of anti-capitalist revolt] provided a machine for fighting misery, and the second wave a machine for fighting boredom, what we now need is a machine for fighting anxiety – and this is something we do not yet have. […] »

“My favorite genre of twitter is straight men reacting to Oscar Isaac”
Every time I see one of these thirst posts, even if I like the guy and agree that he’s handsome, I’m briefly bewildered. I’m like “Really? Really? What? He’s not that special!”… And then I remember that I’m asexual and I realize yet again that there’s a whole axis of human experience that I just do not get.
It never gets less like missing a step in the dark.

Fiction is disappointing in its portrayal of…people’s weirdness. Just how weird people really are in real life.
So many books have all their characters be incredibly normal and I’m like ????? You guys can go outside and not run into someone who is even slightly strange? Or act like “quirks” are only for characters who are explicitly supposed to be eccentric instead of just…people being people.
like, my neighbor sunbathes in his driveway in his underwear and builds coffins in his spare time. My OTHER neighbor just sets things on fire whenever he needs to relax so at random times he’ll be out burning his deck furniture or something. I knew a guy in high school who woke up every morning at 3am and could lip sync flawlessly to every veggietales song. I knew a girl who collected hand sanitizer and wore bright, glittery green eyesore alligator earrings after she got her ears pierced. our family friend back in Tennessee owns six pugs and an unbridled pug obsession. My brother (13) aspires to be a hobo and calls himself Moped the Cheapskate. My grandma reads ya novels (she loved six of crows btw), determined that she was a ravenclaw through the internet, is responsible for me learning my first curse word, and flips off trump when she’s watching him on TV. one of my high school friends was a conspiracy theorist who did intense research about chemtrails. a member of my squad when I was like 14 was referred to by us only as Poodle. the guy who taught my public speaking class in high school moderated a doomsday prepper forum and would talk wistfully about how he would like a bunker. I used to work out with a guy who worshiped Thor smack dab in the middle of the Bible Belt. today my best friend literally just ate dirt while we were hanging out and I can only be just like “whatever, he eats leaves, the little packets that say do not eat, and food off the floor of restaurants, how could a little dirt hurt him?” because that’s just what he does he just…eats things
The sad thing is that almost everyone I know would be The Weird One if they were part of the cast of a book?? But it isnt weird to be weird or eccentric or the opposite of normal. people are just…that way. books drop any somewhat unusual quality as a marker that a person is “eccentric” and I promise you can’t make your characters too weird
Because I write down people that I meet and hear of: my dad met a lady at his work who claimed to be psychic and talked at length about how ghosts would watch her shower (“I hope you like what you’re seeing!” she would tell them) and about the ghost-seeing party she was planning. He talked to a woman who was a sonographer and who had an enormous tattoo of a dragon all the way up her leg and thigh. “Organs move. Babies don’t,” was her wisdom. He met a guy with a phobia of glitter. People are weird. There’s no excuse to make stock characters and people who are average and without quirks. To me it just makes them seem undeveloped because EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING.
People are just weird. let them be weird pls
addition: the other day I met my friend’s friend, who once said “I’ve been run over, I’ve been shot, and my birthday is April 13” in a game of two truths and a lie; you can guess which one was false
my English teacher can throw axes. this came up in a conversation about knife throwing
My mom’s cousin 1) bought a urinal at a yard sale 2) had his 50th birthday party in a cemetery
Since highschool I’ve been telling people that I have never met a Normal Person and I’m not convinced they exist. Everyone I’ve ever engaged with has had their own unique strangeness somewhere, and that’s not a bad thing.

My grandma reads ya novels (she loved six of crows btw), determined that she was a ravenclaw through the internet, is responsible for me learning my first curse word, and flips off trump when she’s watching him on TV. one of my high school friends was a conspiracy theorist who did intense research about chemtrails. a member of my squad when I was like 14 was referred to by us only as Poodle. the guy who taught my public speaking class in high school moderated a doomsday prepper forum and would talk wistfully about how he would like a bunker. I used to work out with a guy who worshiped Thor smack dab in the middle of the Bible Belt. today my best friend literally just ate dirt while we were hanging out and I can only be just like “whatever, he eats leaves, the little packets that say do not eat, and food off the floor of restaurants, how could a little dirt hurt him?” because that’s just what he does he just…eats things
The sad thing is that almost everyone I know would be The Weird One if they were part of the cast of a book?? But it isnt weird to be weird or eccentric or the opposite of normal. people are just…that way. books drop any somewhat unusual quality as a marker that a person is “eccentric” and I promise you can’t make your characters too weird
Because I write down people that I meet and hear of: my dad met a lady at his work who claimed to be psychic and talked at length about how ghosts would watch her shower (“I hope you like what you’re seeing!” she would tell them) and about the ghost-seeing party she was planning. He talked to a woman who was a sonographer and who had an enormous tattoo of a dragon all the way up her leg and thigh. “Organs move. Babies don’t,” was her wisdom. He met a guy with a phobia of glitter. People are weird. There’s no excuse to make stock characters and people who are average and without quirks. To me it just makes them seem undeveloped because EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING.
People are just weird. let them be weird pls
addition: the other day I met my friend’s friend, who once said “I’ve been run over, I’ve been shot, and my birthday is April 13” in a game of two truths and a lie; you can guess which one was false
my English teacher can throw axes. this came up in a conversation about knife throwing
My mom’s cousin 1) bought a urinal at a yard sale 2) had his 50th birthday party in a cemetery
Since highschool I’ve been telling people that I have never met a Normal Person and I’m not convinced they exist. Everyone I’ve ever engaged with has had their own unique strangeness somewhere, and that’s not a bad thing.

My favourite thing about Zuko joining the Gaang is how seamlessly he assumes the position of:
sleep-deprived
over-aggravated
strict
parent, forced to play bad cop, to keep the children on task.
And my absolute favourite (without missing a beat):
Which is a pretty accurate approximation of daily conversations with a toddler.
THAT’S JUST IT ABOUT ZUKO. He became the missing piece the gaang sorely needed because he IS the central father figure taking care of the toddlers.
This is a character who’s been prepped for leadership for years. He knows he could potentially rule the firenation one day. His uncle has been secretly grooming him while aboard the battleship WHICH Zuko runs. He’s the leader of a small batallion of fire nation soldiers. He’s a prince. He understands what it means to be a leader. He understands sacrifice. Can you imagine from his perspective exactly what it was like to join the Gaang? The people who’ve thwarted him all this time, really ARE just children.
He finds out Aang really IS a literal child. Sokka is mostly self taught as all paternal figures he could have had teach him left for war at a young age. So he’s very much Junior as to what it means to be a leader. Toph led a very sheltered life of female nobility, learning to be seen not heard. And she lashes out in full blown preteen angst. Katara has the mom of the group part down because by god SOMEONE had to step up and be an authoritative figure to the babies!
So here comes Zuko thinking the Gaang might just be as war worn as he is. They’ve got all their shit together and must be, like him, mature for their ages. DING DONG HE WAS WRONG. He’s a practical adult with a lot of life experience trying to wrangle children in to saving the freakin world. No wonder he’s sleep deprived, aggrivated, and strict. He thought he was dealing with professionals. Like what he’s used to. Instead he just adopted 3 kids and is sharing custody with Katara.

Transylvania, Romania
“For centuries, the small villages in Transylvania have preserved their hay meadows, raised cattle and operated self-sustainable farms. The agrarian fairytale that is extinct in Western Europe still exists here in bucolic scenes, where young boys learn to cut and rake hay by hand, where all village women are proficient in weaving, and all men can build a house from scratch - with thousands of hard-split wooden shingles on the rooftop. In this old world, defined by traditional belief systems and respect for the environment, one does not trample a meadow of high grass before mowing it, the cows and horses find their way home along the muddy village tracks and the rivers’ water is busy with the milling, washing and alcohol making.“

Another school a few villages over (Not like ours - the kind that just teaches very basic stuff, like math and science) invited the students of Armitage Hux’s Academy For Aspiring Troopers to take part in “varsity sports” with them.
We weren’t familiar with the term, so they told us the point was that each school would gather their best athletes to spar with one another for exercise and entertainment.
It sounded great, so we decided to accept their invitation.
Unfortunately, we arrived at their training grounds to find their students were armed with things like “padding” and “footballs” while ours had armor and blaster rifles. They thought maybe we weren’t quite ready for this, after all.
We agreed to declare the first match a draw and try again at a later date.
Was there a marching band present or no? Because I recall being in the marching band at the Arkanis Academy. Obviously I was the section leader for the saxophones.
Yeah! They had one of those.
And they even had this awesome thing called a “color guard!”
Give me a week or so to stitch up some First Order flags, and we can have one of those, too.
That is something I’d very much like to see happen.
Sweet!
Can I be an assistant coach? Deej keeps begging me to get some exercise, and proudly waving the First Order flag sounds like a fun way to get some.
Certainly! I miss the thrill of performing in front of adoring crowds while I march by in uniform and playing my saxophone.
Yeah, I know how much you miss having gobs of us troopers in neat lines so you could yell pro-First Order propaganda at us, too.
It seemed like such a chore back then to stand there for a half hour listening just so we could do the choreographed fist pump at the end of your speech. But it really was a lovely team-building event.
Ah, the things we take for granted. Once we get our sports teams up and running, you can start hosting pep rallies again. The cadets will love it!
And I can show anyone who’s interested the art of being in a marching band
Hey! Got those flags ready!
Definitely not my prettiest work, but it was short notice and all the good First Order fabric is currently being made into school uniforms.
Also, I took some artistic liberties with the logo. Hope you don’t mind.

Won’t that only solve 75% of your problems?
The book solves half of your problems, not all of them
Say you have 8 problems. You read the book, and you have 4 problems. You read the book again gets rid of HALF, of those 4 problems. So you’re left with two. Out of the 8 problems, 6 were resolved and 6/8 is 75%.
Finally Tumblr can do math
So, what you’re saying, is that if I buy infinite books, I will solve all of my problems, because the sum as n approaches infinity starting at 1 of (½)^n equals 1, which would be 100% of my problems.
No, you will only ever be able to become infinitely close to solving all of your problems, like this:
Please stop explaining math to me im gay
that’s why radioactive material is such a bitch! it only ever deteriorates relative to its mass so it will never completely vanish
This post is pushing me to the limit
MY BRAIN IS ONLY WIRED TO BE ABLE TO SEE COLORS ONLY MANTIS SHRIMP CAN SEE NOT COMPREHEND THE SQUARE ROOT OF FUCK YOU
You know, you could just buy enough books to cut your problems down to one and hope it’s one you can solve on your own.
If your problems are truly integer in nature, eventually you hit the point where the infinite divisibility model fails. Then, each new book has a 50% chance of solving your one remaining problem.
Unfortunately, problems are not a static set, and you are likely to gain new problems along the way. Problems like, “Where do I put all these books?”
If your problems are truly integer in nature, I feel bad for you son
I got infinitely divisible problems but a book ain’t one.

“When I was a student at Cambridge I remember an anthropology professor holding up a picture of a bone with 28 incisions carved in it. ‘This is often considered to be man’s first attempt at a calendar’ she explained. She paused as we dutifully wrote this down. ‘My question to you is this – what man needs to mark 28 days? I would suggest to you that this is woman’s first attempt at a calendar.’ It was a moment that changed my life. In that second I stopped to question almost everything I had been taught about the past. How often had I overlooked women’s contributions?”

were you a “mud potion, picking up worms with your bare hands and trying to climb every tree you see” weird kid, a “sadistically playing god with your barbie dolls/action figures/plushes” weird kid, or a “devouring entire novels in a single afternoon and then writing wish fulfilment self insert fanfiction for them before you even knew what fanfiction was” weird kid?

I love the DIY ethics of punk. You wanna be in a band but have no musical ability? You wanna put on shows but have no money? Wanna make a zine but you have no writing ability? Wanna draw but you can’t draw? Go do it, do what you want to do, the scene is full of people who don’t meet societies standards, we don’t need to be up to societies standards. Doing things is good, so do things! People that do things inspire other people to do things!
