Day 89: Oil Spill
2026-05-06
Hello!
As I write this, a weird light is coming from outside my bedroom.
Oh wait, that's the moon. Damn, I'm up late tonight.
This is a different kind of pollution to the cans of trash littering the campus. I'd argue that this is worse, because it's liquid and difficult to clean up.
It's reasonable to ask someone to pick up their trash, but when a car drips oil, no one gets the towel and mops it up unless it's in an indoor repair shop to prevent slipping hazards.
And a towel probably can't handle the giant oil spills that happen from the extraction efforts around the world.
Finally, a video from Physics Girl. And it's about a photograph, too! For three years, Dianna from Physics Girl, has been away from producing science YouTube videos due to long COVID, but she's back now to explain a special picture of the sun.
