Entrance of the museum Geotanium

Inside the museum, some rocks and fossils at the wall on floor.

Many rocks displayed on the cupboards and at the wall.

Inside the museum.

There's a sweet little interactive #geology (kids) museum in Gettorf, Schleswig-Holstein, called "Geotanium". It's packed with info, minerals, fossils, interactive stations, does a science show, and I absolutely recommend it! You can touch almost everything you see. They also have a great shop. ⚒️

Here's their website. Go visit if you are able to!

arth sets at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, over the Moon’s curved limb in this photo captured by the Artemis II crew during their journey around the far side of the Moon. Orientale basin is perched on the edge of the visible lunar surface. Hertzsprung Basin appears as two subtle concentric rings, which are interrupted by Vavilov, a younger crater superimposed over the older structure. The lines of indentations are secondary crater chains formed by ejecta from the massive impact that created Orientale. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region.

Our planet draws closer to passing behind the Moon in this image captured by the Artemis II crew during their lunar flyby, about six minutes before Earthset. Earth is in a crescent phase, with sunlight coming from the right. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over muted blue in the Australia and Oceania region. The lines of small indentations on the Moon’s rugged surface are secondary crater chains. These structures are formed by material ejected during a violent primary impact.

The lunar surface fills the frame in sharp detail, as seen during the Artemis II lunar flyby, while a distant Earth sets in the background. This image was captured at 6:41 p.m. EDT, on April 6, 2026, just three minutes before the Orion spacecraft and its crew went behind the Moon and lost contact with Earth for 40 minutes before emerging on the other side. In this image, the dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime, while on its day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region. In the foreground, Ohm crater shows terraced edges and a relatively flat floor marked by central peaks — formed when the surface rebounded upward during the impact that created the crater.

Even more Artemis II pictures of Moon (and Earth) released by NASA. My mind still cannot comprehend this. 🤯 Visit the website for almost 8k resolution. 🔭🧪

The public toilet block on Maida Hill Market with cladding of red and grey reclaimed granite with different surface finishes.

Axe dressed red rapakivi granite and grey larvikite

Two slabs of larvikite. On the left the stone has a smooth surface but has not been polished. On the right the larvikite is by polished and a dark grey blue colour.

Axe dressed red granite on the left and grey larvikite on the right

Public toilets at Maida Hill Market are clad in reclaimed and reused igneous plutonic rocks; red rapakivi granite from Finland and Norwegian larvikite. You can still see the plug marks on several blocks showing the quarrying technique. Cities need public loos! #urbangeology #reuse #reclaim #london

1枚目。浮遊性ウミユリのサッココーマは今まで見たなかで一番きれいなので拡大して見てほしい。ネジみたいなダンゴムシみたいなのはゾルンホーフェンでたまに見るやつ。なんだろう。3枚目は二枚貝かな？

Screenshot of my raspishake seismometer signal after the M7.4 earthquake Molucca sea

Photo of my raspishake setup on a dusty cupboard under a plastic box.

Can you imagine that this little device sitting on my kitchen wall cupboard can record big earthquakes happening more than 11,000 km away? It still blows my mind how it can detect seismic waves even from the other side of the earth. ⚒️🧪

Here's the M7.4 Molucca Sea #earthquake from tonight.

Did you feel it? map with the shared reports by USGS

The Boulder Creek #earthquake got demoted to a M4.6. Meanwhile, the Did You Feel It? feature by USGS received over 25,000 reports so far, which you can see below in the geocoded map. #california ⚒️🧪

A beige-coloured book with the title ROCKS on top of the cover, a grey and white striped rock illustration inside a white rectangle in the middle. Below, the subtitle A Guide to the Stones Around Us and the Stories They Tell, and the name of the author-illustrator, Vojta Hybl. #SciArt

It’s publication day for my debut book Rocks! 🪨

It is available in many lovely independent booksellers and all the usual bookshops too. Or online here: geni.us/Rocks

Seismic signal 24hour plot

Here's the unfiltered 24hour plot. It's all noise. The reoccurring signal 3 times an hour is the only bus that comes around here. You can see when it's late or not driving at night. 😄 My area is really noisy and kids in the house, but it still works with the earthquakes. @raspishake.bsky.social

I can see e.g. when the bus is passing or the vibrations of my washing machine, doors shutting. If an earthquake occurs, and the signal is strong enough and you filter the signal correctly you can remove all this noise for the seismic waves only.
