Parker: The Solar System from Near the Sun

NASA's Parker Solar Probe captured a time-lapse from inside #Mercury's orbit, showing coronal streamers, a Coronal Mass Ejection, and #planets like Mercury and #Venus. Between #Earth and #Mars, #Comet Tempel 1 appears. The video also shows high-energy solar particles. This data helps us understand space weather impacts on Earth.

All sorts of #toxic materials are released into the #atmosphere when buildings and their contents #burn. It's why one sees urban #firefighters donning breathing apparatus. #Wildlands adjacent to the Los Angeles basin also contain #mercury and #lead in #soil and litter layers, deposited over many years from #air #pollution generated by vehicles and industries. #Wildfires often emit these heavy metals.

The New York Times · L.A. Firefighters Who Fought Blazes Show Elevated Mercury and Lead LevelsBy Maggie Astor

🪷 This week love and money are in the air when retrograde #Mercury and retrograde #Venus align with dreamy #Neptune in intuitive Pisces for the last time for generations to come ... because Neptune leaves #Pisces this weekend and won't return for 165 years! On the positive side: you can trust your intuition to buy a lottery ticket. But on the negative side, you don't know when to stop and squander your hard-earned money on a bad bet ... in money and love. antinousstars.blogspot.com/202 🪷

🪷 If your phone implodes, blame #Retrograde #Mercury, which aligns today with the Sun to spawn searing confusion. Ancient astrologers warned of this #ScorchedMercury. But #Antinous says open your heart to the light. Let it to burn away doubt and fear. See how here: antinousstars.blogspot.com/201 Next week's #Antinous #MoonMagic #astrology forecast: antinousstars.blogspot.com/202 🪷

EndeavourOS “Mercury Neo” released!

After EndeavourOS “Mercury” got released on February 10th, the team behind EndeavourOS has released a March 2025 refresh of the same distribution version, called “Mercury Neo.” It brought updated versions of all applications, including the following:

  • Calamares 25.02.2.1-2
  • Firefox 136.0.2-1
  • Linux 6.13.7.arch1-1
  • Mesa 1:25.0.1-2
  • Xorg-server 21.1.16-1 (xorg)
  • Nvidia 570.124.04-4

This makes sure that your system is up to date with the latest version of all software released with this version of EndeavourOS. Mercury Neo only affects new installs, but the team ensures that your system is running fine if you upgrade regularly.

The xwaylandvideobridge package has been removed upstream, so the install scripts no longer refer to it as it has already been deleted. In addition to that, obsolete NVIDIA-specific boot menus have been removed to clean things up.

For users living in some regions, the Arch mirror ranking stage, which is run before installation finishes, has been fixed so that it can correctly rank some Arch mirrors to prevent installation failures.

For UEFI systems, if you try to install “Mercury Neo” with systemd, the EFI system partition is generated with 2 GB in size instead of the smaller 1 GB size.
