"Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted."

"During a Tenebrae service, believers are gradually immersed into a physical setting of darkness, allowing us to reflect on Jesus’ suffering, the darkness that covered the land at His crucifixion, His separation from the Father, and the seriousness of our sin.

At the end of a Tenebrae service, a loud sound is heard in the darkness, called a strepitus. In Latin, the word “strepitus” refers to a loud noise or crashing sound.

Through the visual representation of darkness and the auditory experience of strepitus, believers are immersed in a church service with rich scriptural meaning.

Just as the darkness and Christ candle hold symbolic meaning, so also does the loud sound at the end of Tenebrae, which is associated with the events of Jesus’ death and his burial in the tomb."

"The more we can stop being tidy, the more wildness we can bring into our gardens and landscapes, the better habitat we provide. Wherever possible, we should stop mowing. Why not get rid of your lawn? Or shrink it drastically.
Lawns should be area rugs, not wall-to-wall carpet. " TED

Let your garden grow wild Many gardeners work hard to maintain clean, tidy environments ... which is the exact opposite of what wildlife wants, says ecological horticulturist Rebecca McMackin. She shows the beauty of letting your garden run wild, surveying the success she's had increasing biodiversity even in the middle of N...

"There are some places where putting trees back leads to net climate negative outcomes," Susan Cook-Patton, one of the study's co-authors, told AFP."

Study: Planting Trees in 'Wrong Places' Actually Boosts Global Warming Planting trees in the wrong places can actually contribute to global warming, scientists said on Tuesday, but a new map identifies the best locations to regrow forests and cool the planet.

"Only slightly more than 23% of the seafloor has been mapped in great detail, and even less has been explored with underwater cameras or submersibles. Mapping the seafloor is the first step in exploring the unknown depths of our global ocean."

Seafloor Mapping Our global ocean covers over 70% of the Earth’s surface. The marine ecosystem is the largest and most abundant in the world. However, most of the ocean is permanently dark, cold, and incredibly difficult to observe. Only slightly more than 23% of the seafloor has been mapped in great detail, and e...

"Comet Pons-Brooks has quite a tail to tell. First discovered in 1385, this erupting dirty snowball loops back into our inner Solar System every 71 years and, this time, is starting to put on a show for deep camera exposures. In the featured picture, the light blue stream is the ion tail which consists of charged molecules pushed away from the comet's nucleus by the solar wind. "
