Dryodora glandiformis

Spotted this gorgeous ctenophore and it absolutely made my night. The rainbows are caused by the little rows of combs it used to swim; as they move they refract the light, causing spectacular waves of color. Also please appreciate its silly wrinkly mouth in the second picture - it conveys an emotion I can't quite name.

I don't expect this to do numbers but it is my life mission to tell more people about ctenophores so poll:

New telescope shutters blinking in sync with city LEDs to preserve dark sky access.

You'd think it'd be easier to just install dark sky friendly lights...and then get all the side benefits like not destroying people's night vision when they pass into and out of light or not messing with the bats...not messing with circadian rhythms...

For various reasons, including a long-time, persistent dislike of city lights, I started taking melatonin (5 mg) about two months ago. It’s made a huge difference in my sleep patterns.....deeper, longer (I’m retired, I can sleep as long as I want) and lot less squirming around at night.

Excerpt from this story from Deutsche Welle:

The energy crisis has inspired cities across Germany to turn off night lights at landmarks, monuments and prominent buildings such as city halls, museums and libraries.

But beyond saving power and money, darker cities have many positives both for the climate and biodiversity.

The International Dark-Sky Association, a US-based non-profit, estimates that about one-third of all outdoor lighting burning at night has no benefit.

Even before the global energy crisis and higher prices, turning off this unnecessary lighting would save $3 billion (€2.9 billion) a year and also help reduce air pollution and harmful emissions that contribute to climate change.

Today, more than 80% of people worldwide live under light-polluted skies. In Europe and the US, the figure is as high as 99%, meaning people no longer experience real darkness.

As well as benefiting the environment, sufficient darkness at night is good for human health. Studies have demonstrated the link between artificial light and eye injury, sleeplessness, obesity and, in some cases, depression.

These side-effects are related to a lack of melatonin, a hormone that is released when it gets dark.

"When we don't get that hormone, when we don't produce that hormone because we're exposed to so much light in our apartment, or as a shift worker, then the whole working of this biological clock system becomes problematic," said Christopher Kyba, a scientist at the German Research Center for Geoscience.

A 2020 study from the US shows that children and adolescents who live in areas with an abundance of artificial light get less sleep and suffer more often from emotional issues.

The introduction of artificial light is "one of the most dramatic changes we've made to the biosphere," said Kyba.

Throughout evolution "there was a constant signal coming from the environment," he explains. "This is daytime, this is nighttime, this is the lunar month. In areas that experience strong light pollution, that signal has been dramatically changed."
