SteemSTEM Distilled #118

avatar

@lemouth is still serving his sentence of hard labour cleaning up after snow leopards in India, so this week's 118th distilled will be authored by me (whatever 'me' means). Since everyone was busy this week this is part 1 of a 2-part week to give some fair share of appreciation. Some of these are older posts and I will look at more up-to-date ones in the follow-up post. Look out for that over the weekend!

For those who do not know what SteemSTEM is, please take a look here or come say hi on Discord or in the Steem Chat.

Our top choices



Radioactive Pigs, Wild Pigs, Sick Pigs: The Trouble with Pigs Today



Actually, @agmoore2 put the description better than I could: 'There's trouble with pigs these days. Radioactive pigs are turning up in Eastern Europe, and Japan. A virulent pig virus is spreading from continent to continent. And, across the globe, feral swine invade farms, meadows and even urban environments. What is going on with pigs? How did things get to this state? And have humans in any way contributed to the problem? For each one of these problems, I'm afraid the answer is, "Yes."' - Trust me it's fascinating, check it out!

M16 - The Eagle Nebula


I thought it worthwhile to give some kudos to the short and sweet posts out there. @Astrophoto.kevin has always provided us with photography that can just speak for itself and alter your perspective on life if you look at them too much. This one is no exception so be sure to enlarge the image and enjoy the full quality! (I cropped the preview here so I don't spoil your upcoming enjoyment)

Thank you for putting my blog up there with Astrophoto.kevin's! The pig is cute, but cannot compete with that spectacular photo of the Eagle Nebula. Every one of @Astrophoto.kevin's photos awakens in me a wonder at the universe.

Your effort in putting out Distilled is much appreciated. It's a great compilation of recent articles and a good reference for anyone who visits SteemSTEM.io.

It is a pleasure to be here with your post. So much information about the fascinating pigs wrote down in a very professional looking and understandable post.
I'm really excited about your next one 😊

I'll be looking for your magnificent photos of the skies, and of the little creatures that share the earth with us 🐞 🐛

Thank you very much for these kind words and picking my post 😊
What a honor to be mentioned in the steemstem distilled.
Thank you very much 'you' (it somehow looks weird when I’m typing here 'me' 😃)

Great to see distilled still going strong and the curated articles are still top notch! I've had a busy semester, but hope to be more active soon.
