TIL that in 2017, the European Southern Observatory in Chile was able to get an image of the red supergiant star Antares that was detailed enough to show its surface and atmosphere! in c/til@lemmy.world

I hadn't realized there was a link; I thought it was just a picture. Thank you!

That's astounding! Is it a real picture or a radio signal interpretation?

Fair enough; I have no idea. We'd like to think we are above our animal natures I'm sure.

Babies produce a pheromone to make them cuter so that you don't huck them into the woods when they just won't shut up.

This seems like more of an askLemmy or noStupidQuestions kind of post.

Whats a current obstacle or challenge in your life you'd like to share and have people brainstorm for solutions? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I've got a pretty sweet gig, all of us do at this company, and I think "rocking the boat" could only make my situation worse. We are only like a dozen people and there's only one person in each "department". We aren't being mistreated and we are privileged enough to be able to leave if we were.

Suggestions for a two-child height tracker (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello Lathe Ladies, Mitre Mates, and Plywood Pals!

I've been tracking my kids' heights on a wall for several years but I'd like a prettier solution. Something I can screw on the wall and mark their heights on (maybe temporarily and then go back with a wood burner or something). Ideally, sometime that's two identical adjacent pieces that I can give them if I'm ever lucky enough to be a grandparent.

A straight 7' board with a cutout for the moulding and burnt or painted 6" increments is the simplest solution, but can y'all think of anything nicer? I would prefer to keep it on a semi visible wall instead of the laundry closet.

Thanks friends.

Older women, women with weight changes or visible disabilities, or transfolk of Lemmy - how has the male gaze changed for you? (sh.itjust.works)

Hello ladies (current and former) of Lemmy (current) - I'm curious how your experience of the male gaze has changed as you moved in and out of young-woman-hood.

How has your opinion of being seen changed through this process?

How should I change my polite behavior to be more accommodating? (sh.itjust.works)
 

My parents raised me to always say "yes sir" and "no ma'am", and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I'm not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like "no thank you, ma'am" based on their appearing AFAB, but on a future visit to the store they had added their pronouns (they) to their name tag. I would feel bad if their interaction with me was something they will remember when feeling down. This particular person has a fairly androgynous haircut/look and wears a store uniform, so there's no gender clue there.

I am thinking I need to just stop saying "sir" and "ma'am" altogether, but I like the politeness and I don't know how I would replace it in a gender-neutral way. Is there anything better than just dropping it entirely?

For background I'm a millennial and more than happy to use people's correct pronouns if I know them!
