magic system where “dark magic” and “light magic” are literal terms - dark magic consumes photons, making an area around the spell visibly darker, sometimes to an Extreme extent, and light magic releases photons.

because of this most dark mages tend to work in very brightly-lit areas (either artificial light or outside in the daytime) to fuel their spells and wear and use lightly coloured clothes and tools so that they’re easier to see in the dimness their spells create, whereas light mages wear heavy, sometimes leaden robes (depending on the work being done) and the magical equivalent of welding masks to protect themselves from what can be an extreme amount of light, and sometimes other kinds of electromagnet radiation!

needless to say this is incredibly confusing for anyone unfamiliar with the culture

I bought a infrared camera. I need to do some post processing on these but I really thought they looked cool as they are.

Do U think that Exos say "thanks, Clovis" like Bethesda players go "thanks, Todd" when something goes wrong?

new webb image(s) alert! 19 galaxies imaged in mid and near infrared light

i’m just blown away by the detail in these images- jwst never ceases to amaze me.

you can find the full resolution images of each of these galaxies in the official release here - i highly recommend looking through each of them, they’re STUNNING.

However, some men have taken illicit photos of female athletes to a whole other level. They use infrared photography, which picks up heat signatures. The cameras pick up signatures transferred through undergarments. That means if the athlete’s uniform is thin enough, voyeurs can snap pics showing the contours of their underwear.

Early reports of this form of assault go back to the start of the decade. A 2020 article in President ONLINE notes that, even then, some prefectures in Japan had moved to ban infrared photography altogether in a bid to keep adult and minor athletes safe. In 2021, former volleyball player Ootomo Ai said she’d fallen victim to infrared photos, as well as people trying to take photos in or near the women’s bathroom.

To give female athletes an additional layer of protection, Japanese sports clothing manufacturer Mizuno this week announced a new “anti-infrared” line of competitive sportswear. According to the manufacturer’s site, the new clothing uses material designed to absorb light in the infrared range. That renders the garment opaque not only under visible light. but under infrared light as well.

“Incorporating the newly developed infrared blocking fabric into sportswear can help reduce the number of athletes that fall victim to illicit infrared photography,” the company said in a statement on their Web site.

To celebrate the James Webb Space Telescope's second year of science, let’s look back at one of its first images, the Cartwheel Galaxy. This near- and mid-infrared image shows the areas where stars develop after a high-speed collision about 400 million years ago: https://bit.ly/3WfJYW2

I just hit a huge milestone designing my giant pinball machine in Minecraft: the playfield is all laid out!

I'm calling the game Deep Field, and there's five primary objectives based on hitting different shots representing bands of the electromagnetic spectrum.

IR: rollover switches Visible light: pop bumpers UV: captive ball X-rays: Drop targets Gamma rays: spinner

Also, a kinetic sling disc to light locks for Pluto Multiball!
