This Massive Wall of Galaxies Is Lurking Beyond the Milky Way
Another interesting science post on the Fediverse.
Text
Cosmographers’ goal is to map out the observable universe, and from their findings we can not only learn more about the structures that make up everything we can see, we also gain insight into the things we cannot see!

Home Chemistry 1 – Follow up
So just posting a follow up to the experiment with a photo of the test tubes.
So we can see From this that the tube on the far left still has Zinc, the one on the Far right has Copper. The centre tube did have the Magnesium, but this is now Magnesium Acetate.
So an interesting experiment.
Testing for Acetate
For those taking a more scientific approach and who may want to test to confirm what is produced the following from Robolab may be useful.
Further reading
I have started a thread on Scienceforums to ask how to decontaminate the other metals. They may need this but it would be good practice not to simply remove from test tubes, leave to dry and put back in the original containers.
Feel free to discuss further on Mastodon. My profile is at https://qoto.org/@zleap

Journal of Experimental Biology
The latest issue of the Journal of Experimental Biology Volume 225, Issue 23 is out. You can also download the 2022 highlights for free.
Great to share with people of all ages and hopfully give younger people a chance to learn about some of the cutting edge developments.
You can follow them on mastodon here or using their fedi id which is @JExp[email protected]
Mastodon is really expanding with journals, journalists, scientists with people from many other background and fields.

Expanded Functional groups in Organic Chemistry
Compound Chemistry have some really good resource. From time to time some of these are expanded with even more information.
Adds some more functional groups what is already a really good resource.

European Antibiotic Awareness Day
When: Nov 18, 2022 from 09:00 to 17:00 (BST) Associated with Careers, Clubs and Cross-Curricular
The European Antibiotic Awareness Day is an annual European public health initiative that takes place on 18 November to raise awareness about the threat to public health of antibiotic resistance and the importance of prudent antibiotic use. The latest data confirms that across the European Union the number of patients infected by resistant bacteria is increasing and that antibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health.

Zooniverse latest 21/10/2022
Interested in helping astronomers classify pictures of distant galaxies from earlier in the Universe’s history? Check out the dawn of Galaxy Zoo’s newest iteration: Galaxy Zoo: Cosmic Dawn!
Galaxy Zoo is the most popular project on the Zooniverse, asking volunteers to classify images of galaxies based on their visual appearance. Galaxies have a variety of shapes, from ball-like ellipticals to those with grand spiral arms, so studying how they form and evolve over cosmic time requires classifying large numbers of them: that’s where you come in!
This week, Galaxy Zoo begins its latest incarnation, Galaxy Zoo: Cosmic Dawn, with tens of thousands of new galaxy images now available for you to help classify! These were taken by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) on board the 8.2m Subaru telescope on the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, as part of the Hawaii Two-0 (H20) survey.
Compared to previous incarnations of Galaxy Zoo, H20 enables us to see fainter and more distant galaxies from earlier in the Universe's history. This deeper imaging also means we can observe many more distant galaxies in the same patch of sky, so the images you will see may often appear redder and blurrier than you might expect. H20 is a key component to the more ambitious Cosmic Dawn survey, aiming to push the boundaries of extragalactic astronomy by studying galaxy evolution out to a few hundred million years after the Big Bang!
There are also some rare types of galaxies that we don't want to miss, so make sure to check out the Tutorial!
