I’m an extraction/lab associate at a medical marijuana facility in FL with a bachelors in chemistry. This is my "blog" Mainly consisting of weed and other psychedelic goodies. I have a passion for science in every sense of the word.
During the recent Perseid shower, photographer Petr Horálek caught an awesome timelapse of an exploding meteor and the vortex ring it created. This is a type of persistent train left when meteors pass through the upper atmosphere. The exact physics are not well understood because such events are difficult to observe; catching them at all is basically just happenstance. But one interpretation is that we’re seeing trails of plasma left by the ionization of parts of the meteor. When the meteor hits the upper atmosphere, there’s an extremely strong hypersonic shock wave. The jump in temperature across that shock wave is enough to pull atoms apart, creating a plasma. The train left by this meteor’s demise was faintly visible even an hour after the fireball. (Image credit: P. Horálek, video version; via APOD; submitted by Andrea S.)

Just a heads up, if the bubble moves in your vape pen there is some sort of solvent. Hopefully it’s terpenes reducing viscosity but it can very likely be PEG, PG, or some other cutting agent. Bottom line is if your pen is quoted at 85% or higher and the bubble moves from top to bottom in less than 10 seconds it’s potency is not accurate. That may very well be the potency of the distillate they started with, but it’s not the potency of the vape pen. Just trying to clear up some misinformation.

“This is a prerecorded briefing made prior to your departure and which, for security reasons of the highest importance has been known on board during the mission only by your HAL 9000 computer. Now that you are in Jupiter’s space and the entire crew is revived it can be told to you. Eighteen months ago the first evidence of intelligent life off the Earth was discovered. lt was buried 40 feet below the lunar surface near the crater Tycho. Except for a single, very powerful radio emission aimed at Jupiter the 4-million-year-old monolith has remained completely inert its origin and purpose still a total mystery.”
