Today in 1461 young Edward of York routed the Lancastrians, under Tudor leadership, at Mortimer's Cross. There was a parhelion, like this one I saw a few years back. It panicked the Lancastrians but Edward thought quickly & told his men it represented the Trinity; clearly God was on their side.

Spectacular black and white marine mosaic in the women’s changing room (apodyterium) at the Central Baths, ancient Herculaneum. Triton with dolphins, cherub, octopus and cuttlefish. 1st century AD. Modern changing rooms could do with a Roman style upgrade! 📷 by me #MosaicMonday #Archaeology

Absolutely. The retina is amazing. According to Darwin the eye is an “organ of extreme perfection” and he was concerned about how the human eye could have arisen by natural selection from simpler versions in more distant species.

@gensocuk.bsky.social great to see the very deserving awards announced at the GenSoc November meeting which sadly I was unable to get to. It is still the Society which speaks most eloquently to me. Always engaging meetings.
