Pergunta para meu neto: Alguem ja chamou o percussionista da orquestra de  maestro dos fundos, que dirige a orquestra pelo sentido da audição, assim como o da frente a dirige pela visão? Lembrei me do maestro meu neto...

Today's selection -- from Persians: The Age of the Great Kings by Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones. The Persians ruled the largest of all ancient-world empires:

"This history [of Persia] uses genuine, indigenous, ancient Persian sources to tell a very different story from the one we might be familiar with, the one moulded around ancient Greek accounts. This story is told by the Persians them­selves. It is Persia's inside story. It is the Persian Version of Persia's history./.../


#NASA - Birds


Every spring, migratory birds arrive in the continental United States from south and central America to breed. But precisely when they arrive each spring varies from year to year. In a NASA-led study published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, scientists have linked this variability to large-scale climate patterns originating thousands of miles away./.../

A New Radio Hit
Astronomers working with the CHIME telescope in Canada have detected the longest fast radio burst ever, clocking in at about 3 seconds. The bursts appear to feature a rhythm like a heartbeat, reports Ben Turner for Live Science. Fast radio bursts are mysterious radio signals, usually from faraway galaxies, whose origins remain under study. In 2020, researchers tracked the first fast radio burst detected within our own galaxy back to a magnetar, as Shannon Hall covered for Quanta.

That Smells Like It Looks Good
Researchers recently uncovered the network of brain connections behind a dog’s powerful sense of smell. The map includes an unexpected tract not yet found in other animals that runs from the olfactory bulb to visual cortex, reports Laura Sanders for Science News. Smell has been one of the least understood senses. But in 2021, neuroscientists unveiled for the first time how olfactory receptors in insects recognize smells when odor molecules bind to them, as Jordana Cepelewicz reported for Quanta in 2021.
