Good morning. There was a great moment the other day as I was driving down to the market for supplies, a rare traffic jam on a stretch of road that’s generally barren, cars backed up in both directions so that a family of Canada geese could waddle across the road, moving from a pond on one side to the bay on the other. The mother goose had her neck stretched low to the pavement, guiding the goslings along, and if Michael the police officer wasn’t there with his whistle to help, it was still reminiscent of Robert McCloskey’s “Make Way for Ducklings,” and I knew every driver in line was smiling behind her mask.
Make way for Ducklings.
How fast can a human run? 2 legs? Four might be better.

"We cannot account for the rotation of Betelgeuse," Wheeler said. "It's spinning 150 times faster than any plausible single star just rotating and doing its thing."
He directed a team of undergraduates including Sarafina Nance, Manuel Diaz, and James Sullivan of The University of Texas at Austin, as well as visiting students from China and Greece, to study Betelgeuse with a computer modeling program called MESA. The students used MESA to model Betelgeuse's rotation for the first time.
