What is the most spook-tacular nebula in the galaxy? One contender is LDN 43, which bears an astonishing resemblance to a vast cosmic bat flying amongst the stars on a dark Halloween night. Located about 1400 light years away in the constellation Ophiuchus, this molecular cloud is dense enough to block light not only from background stars, but from wisps of gas lit up by the nearby reflection nebula LBN 7. Far from being a harbinger of death, this 12-light year-long filament of gas and dust is actually a stellar nursery. Glowing with eerie light, the bat is lit up from inside by dense gaseous knots that have just formed young stars.

Cool. I'll check them out.

That sounds like a book I'd be interested in. Thank you for sharing it with me.

I'm not sure how you want your learning sessions, but I just use ChatGPT for a project I had and it explains everything with the code to work from

I wonder who crossed the line first

This doesn't seem wholesome, imo.

Thanks. I just hope the weather gets better in Florida by next week.

I just finished creating a chatbot trained off Microsoft's dialogpt, and it felt really weird talking to it. I asked it if it had any plans and it responded with going to the beach in the south of France. I then shut it off.

It just felt weird to talk to it and hearing its response. Yes, there was a 3 sec delay, but I think I'll just put it aside for now.

Besides that, everything else has been going well. I'll be heading on vacation next week to see NASA's rocket launch to Europa.

Cool. I wasn't sure. Thank you.

Wise words to live by

Sorry, but I wish I knew. Apparently, Big Bend has the most species of birds of all the national parks. I really wanted to know the species of the bird by my campsite because it was a white bird with what looked like a pink baseball cap on it's head. I don't know, but if I was a coach on bird baseball team, that'd be my lead.

Yea. That was the end of the Window trail. I wasn't planning on doing it since my main reason for going was to relax, but the couple that was passing me on a different trail told me it was easy with a nice view at the end, so I went.

I went on two other short trails during my time there and that was it. I don't plan on going back, but thank you for your suggestions. Maybe someone else will try those out.
