Acid mine drainage dissolves carbonate rock, leading to CO2 concentrations in the effluent that are as much as 1,000 times higher than in natural waters. Given the number of abandoned mines from centuries of mining, this may be a notable source of atmospheric CO2.

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 
Velella velella is the by-the-wind sailor, a type of floating colonial siphonophore, almost like a tiny version of portuguese man-of-war. It is often found in large numbers on beaches because they have a "sail" set at 45° either to the left or right. As a result, they can sail differently depending on wind direction. It is thought both forms are mixed mid Pacific Ocean and are sorted by the wind, some going to the Americas and others to Asia.

68 years ago today, the Mackinac Bridge opened to connect the Upper and Lower peninsulas of Michigan over the Straits of Mackinac. Nicknamed the “Mighty Mac” when it was built, it’s still the longest suspension bridge “between anchorages” in the Western Hemisphere. Stretching 26,372 feet (8,038 meters) shore-to-shore, it was designed by David B. Steinman, […]

Astronomical role of M45 in antiquity
The M45 group played an important role in ancient times for the establishment of many calendars thanks to the combination of two remarkable elements. The first, which is still valid, is its unique and easily identifiable appearance on the celestial vault near the ecliptic. The second, essential for the ancients, is that in the middle of the third millennium BC, this asterism (a prominent pattern or group of stars that is smaller than a constellation) marked the vernal point.
The importance of this asterism is also evident in northern Europe. The Pleiades cluster is displayed on the Nebra sky disc that was found in Germany and is dated to around 1600 BC. On the disk the cluster is represented in a high position between the Sun and the Moon.

In ancient Greece and the Mediterranean, the first appearance of the Pleiades before sunrise denoted the start of the navigation season, according to EarthSky. In fact, the name Pleiades probably comes from the ancient Greek word "to sail."
Even the modern holiday of Halloween may be related to Pleiades. Many think that Halloween is descended, in part, from the old pagan festival of Samhain, celebrated by the ancient Celts and Druids of the British Isles. These ancient people may have observed the midnight culmination of Pleiades, or when Pleiades reached its highest point in the sky, at midnight on the day of this festival, which would have been celebrated around the time of Halloween. They believed that this signified the time of the thinnest separation between the world of the living and the world of the dead.
