Hot Springs Mineral Deposits, Upper Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park: (c) riverwindphotography

Dragon’s Eye (Nature/Aerial, Gold)

“An aerial view of bubbling hot springs deep in the Icelandic highlands. The area has a particularly high silica content, resulting in some beautifully intricate geothermal formations of polished white geyserite.”

by James Rushforth

Tokyo International Foto Awards 2020

Sulfur

People always ask how hot springs get their colors. The famous ones, like Grand Prismatic Spring, are colored by their thermophile bacterial mats. Colorful photosynthetic organisms that thrive in hot water.

Sometimes those colors are mineral, though generally when we describe springs as being colored by their mineral content we mean that their geyserite edges are stained, or small amounts of certain elements have changed the color of the mineral as it forms.

Rarely though we see actual non-geyserite minerals precipitating out of water and steam. In this case, elemental sulfur.

I went digging, for no good reason, into wikipedia because I remembered that radiolaria are... actually a real life thing. And because, despite evidence to the contrary, I am a Destiny blog who should start posting more. So, I’ve compiled a collection of pieces of information as I dig and find more things:

Radiolaria are a type of marine protozoa that form silicon skeletons around themselves, making them look like either spiny globes or snowflakes. They're rather pretty. (Ernst Haeckel's 1904 Kunstformen der Natur (Artforms of Nature) ).

Most radiolarian species are extinct, having existed in the Cambrian age. But some remain.

The silicon skeletons are, technically, made of opal. Opal is a hydrated amorphous silicate "mineral" (so, a bunch of silica compounds floating around in a loose solid matrix with water in it), that can form basically anywhere.

Radiolarian protozoa have an internal structure that allow their ectoplasm (the outer part of the cell interior) to host endosymbionts (other smaller organisms that help out in the cell) as well as hold vacuoles (storage spaces) for buoyancy.

The Ancantharea class of radiolaria makes its skeleton out of strontium sulfate instead of silicon. This makes finding evidence of them rare since the shells dissolve in water after the radiolaria dies.

There is a type of common opal, called geyserite, that forms around, well, geysers, and it was the medium in which some of the oldest evidence of life on land is found, 3.48 billion years ago.

Common opals are described as milky. Precious opals are described as iridescent, though the actual phenomenon is opalescence, which is a different way to play with light refraction in the medium.

Hyalite is a type of opal that has a clear, glassy appearance.

There is such a thing as Wood Opal, where the organic material of the wood is petrified and becomes opalescent or is replaced/transformed into opal.

Most precious opals are white in colour, or translucent, the rarest precious opals are black. The colour depends on where and how they form.

Now, another collection of various things in Destiny:

This is a Hydra. Note the structural similarity to some of the IRL radiolarian constructs. Especially that third one in the rightmost collumn.

This is a Harpy. Note the structural similarity to the bottommost right IRL radiolarian structure.

Vex Radiolaria. No further explanation needed, Vex are radiolarian life forms. This has been seen forward and back since Destiny 1. Also Vex milk.

It would not be unreasonable to think that those vacuoles could be repurposed for non-buoyancy purposes.

The Vex are one of, if not the, oldest species in the Universe. Having originated in the Flower Game (Unveiling). The ruins on Venus are billions of years of, predating humanity.

The Vault of Glass. Glass is an amorphous silicate formed at high temperature. Hyalite looks like glass.

Vex tend to convert anything they touch, including living organic material. Perhaps like an aggressive form of whatever process wood opal originates from.

Both Vex mind fluid and Alkahest have that shimmer when seen in the right light.

With the new lore on 2082 Volantis, we have a source for all that metal. Though note: The metal forged in a star could only go as far as iron (Fe56), before needed other types of formation (usually these elements are made during supernovae). So this means that, if Vex structure are, in fact, metal and not silicate, options are: Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium, Cromium, Manganese. Of note: “the alloy Al20Li20Mg10Sc20Ti30 is as strong as titanium, light as aluminium, and hard as ceramic” (Youssef, Khaled M. et.al. (2015)). All of these metals are forgeable in a star, since none of them are beyond iron.  Also Scandium oxidises pink, which, if you look at the Vex structures on Europa... Also, of note, Titanium is biocompatible. I doubt the other metals are, but, that’s a thing.

So, I’m not sure where I’m going with this but...

TL;DR: Radiolarian lifeforms are cool, Bungie did it’s research when creating the Vex, Vex could make opals if they wanted to, Vex metal is probably that really sturdy scandium alloy.

I’m not necessarily saying that given all this, we should have rainbow opalascent Vex in pink metal... But we should totally have rainbow opalescent Vex in pink metal.

Strokkur

Along with the eponymous Geysir, this fountain of volcanically heated water that spouts up 15-40 metres into the air every 4-8 minutes is one of Iceland's most famous tourist sites. As the magma beneath cools, water percolating through the permeable basalt gets heated and rises back towards the surface. As it reaches the surface and cools, a form of silica opal called geyserite precipitates and can form a crust, blocking the vent until the pressure builds up and breaks through it, resulting in the next eruption. The other cause of pressurisation in geysers is cooler water capping the hotter water below, which heats up and boils, allowing the pressure to be released in the initial bubble seen bulging out in the slo mo video linked below. As the mass is expelled in the eruption, the pressure on the superheated (ie still liquid despite being at over 100 Celsius) water below goes down, allowing it to vaporise resulting in the steam eruption. The geyser needs some time to recharge its pressure, creating the gap between eruptions. The name comes from the Icelandic word for churn, which for those not familiar with the old ways was a pot in which milk and cream were beaten into butter.

Strokkur has been active since at least 1789, when a quake is thought to have opened its conduit. It blew regularly until 1896 when it was de activated by another quake rechanneling the heated water or blocking the vent, and was unblocked by people in 1963, recreating a long gone tourist attraction.

Earliest signs of life: scientists find microbial remains in ancient rocks Western Australia’s famous 3.5-billion-year-old stromatolites contain microbial remains of some of the earliest life on Earth, UNSW scientists have found. Scientists have found exceptionally preserved microbial remains in some of Earth’s oldest rocks in Western Australia – a major advance in the field, offering clues for how life on Earth originated. The UNSW researchers found the organic matter in stromatolites – fossilised microbial structures – from the ancient Dresser Formation in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The stromatolites have been thought to be of biogenic origin ever since they were discovered in the 1980s. However, despite strong textural evidence, that theory was unproven for nearly four decades, because scientists hadn’t been able to show the definitive presence of preserved organic matter remains – until today’s publication in prestigious journal Geology. “This is an exciting discovery – for the first time, we’re able to show the world that these stromatolites are definitive evidence for the earliest life on Earth,” says lead researcher Dr Raphael Baumgartner, a research associate of the Australian Centre for Astrobiology in Professor Martin Van Kranendonk’s team at UNSW. Professor Van Kranendonk says the discovery is the closest the team have come to a “smoking gun” to prove the existence of such ancient life. “This represents a major advance in our knowledge of these rocks, in the science of early life investigations generally, and – more specifically – in the search for life on Mars. We now have a new target and new methodology to search for ancient life traces,” Professor Van Kranendonk says. Drilling deep, looking closely Ever since the Dresser Formation was discovered in the 1980, scientists have wondered whether the structures were truly microbial and therefore the earliest signs of life. “Unfortunately, there is a climate of mistrust of textural biosignatures in the research community. Hence, the origin of the stromatolites in the Dresser Formation has been a hotly debated topic,” Dr Baumgartner says. “In this study, I spent a lot of time in the lab, using micro-analytical techniques to look very closely at the rock samples, to prove our theory once and for all.” Stromatolites in the Dresser Formation are usually sourced from the rock surface, and are therefore highly weathered. For this study, the scientists worked with samples that were taken from further down into the rock, below the weathering profile, where the stromatolites are exceptionally well preserved. “Looking at drill core samples allowed us to look at a perfect snapshot of ancient microbial life,” Dr Baumgartner says. Using a variety of cutting-edge micro-analytical tools and techniques – including high-powered electron microscopy, spectroscopy and isotope analysis – Dr Baumgartner analysed the rocks. He found that the stromatolites are essentially composed of pyrite – a mineral also known as ‘fool’s gold’ – that contains organic matter. “The organic matter that we found preserved within pyrite of the stromatolites is exciting – we’re looking at exceptionally preserved coherent filaments and strands that are typically remains of microbial biofilms,” Dr Baumgartner says. The researchers say that such remains have never been observed before in the Dresser Formation, and that actually seeing the evidence down the microscope was incredibly exciting. “I was pretty surprised – we never expected to find this level of evidence before I started this project. I remember the night at the electron microscope where I finally figured out that I was looking at biofilm remains. I think it was around 11pm when I had this ‘eureka’ moment, and I stayed until three or four o'clock in the morning, just imaging and imaging because I was so excited. I totally lost track of time,” Dr Baumgartner says. Clues for search for life on Mars Just over two years ago, Dr Baumgartner’s colleague Tara Djokic, a UNSW PhD candidate, found stromatolites in hot spring deposits in the same region in WA, pushing back the earliest known existence of microbial life on land by 580 million years. “Tara's main findings were these exceptional geyserite deposits that indicate that there have been geysers in this area, and therefore fluid expulsions on exposed land surface,” Dr Baumgartner says. “Her study was focused on the broader geological setting of the paleo-environment – lending support to the theory that life originated on land, rather than in the ocean – whereas my study really went deeper on the finer details of the stromatolite structures from the area.” The scientists say that both studies are helping us answer a central question: where did humanity come from? “Understanding where life could have emerged is really important in order to understand our ancestry. And from there, it could help us understand where else life could have occurred – for example, where it was kick-started on other planets,” Dr Baumgartner says. Just last month, NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) scientists spent as week in the Pilbara with Martin Van Kranendonk for specialist training in identifying signs of life in these same ancient rocks. It was the first time that Van Kranendonk shared the region’s insights with a dedicated team of Mars specialists – a group including the Heads of NASA and ESA Mars 2020 missions. “It is deeply satisfying that Australia’s ancient rocks and our scientific know-how is making such a significant contribution to our search for extra-terrestrial life and unlocking the secrets of Mars,” says Professor Van Kranendonk.

These rocks in the Dresser Formation, Western Australia, include layers of geyserite, demonstrating the presence of long gone hot springs 3.48 billion years old.

Oman Present Tapestries This tour is obtainable by Desert Flower Tours, a accountable Omani-owned tour operator with a ardour for creating unforgettable holidays for visitors. The tour is performed by skilled Omani guides solely, as a result of we imagine that only Omani guides can deliver you to expertise the native hospitality, conventional values and lifestyle. In the south-east of the Arabian Peninsula, on the entrance to the Persian Gulf, lies the Sultanate of Oman, a rustic that a lot of people have hassle discovering on the map, even after studying this sentence. To be fair, though, not like its neighbor of Saudi Arabia, Oman has never beheaded scores of harmless individuals, or had one of their sheikhs kidnap Liam Neeson’s daughter, so information channels and popular culture haven’t actually paid much attention to it. Members of the impartial Omani Group of Human Rights have been harassed, arrested and sentenced to jail. There have been quite a few testimonies of torture and other inhumane forms of punishment perpetrated by safety forces on protesters and detainees. The detainees had been all peacefully exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly. Although authorities must obtain courtroom orders to carry suspects in pre-trial detention, they don't regularly do this. The penal code was amended in October 2011 to permit the arrest and detention of individuals with out an arrest warrant from public prosecutors. Indigenous mammals embrace the leopard, hyena, fox, wolf, hare, oryx and ibex. Birds embrace the vulture, eagle, stork, bustard, Arabian partridge, bee eater, falcon and sunbird. These result as much from geography and history as from tradition and economics. Oman's cultural range is bigger than that of its Arab neighbours, given its historic enlargement to the Swahili Coast and the Indian Ocean. Prior to Islam, Central Oman lay outdoors of the core area of spoken Arabic. Possibly Old South Arabian audio system dwelled from the Al Batinah Region to Zafar, Yemen. The Persian empire then tried to take possession of the coast of Oman till 1747. Explore one of Oman’s ‘wadi’ river gorges—Wadi Shab—without doing any off-road driving or navigation yourself. With this non-public tour from Muscat, simply benefit from the surroundings as you hint the east coast to the wadi to discover its pools and paths. Ride a ship, trek the canyon floor, bathe in the swimming pools, and swim via a cave to waterfall, all with a information to share local information and handle the driving. Clubbing & Nightlife Events In Rest Of Oman, Eventseeker The present-day name of the country, Oman, is believed to originate from the Arab tribes who migrated to its territory from the Uman area of Yemen. Dereaze, located in the metropolis of Ibri, is the oldest known human settlement within the space, courting back as many as 8,000 years to the Late Stone Age. Archaeological remains have been discovered here from the Stone Age and the Bronze Age. Many such tribes settled in Oman, making a living by fishing, herding or inventory breeding. In addition, the Muttrah Souk is the most well-known market inside Muscat, so be prepared to buy. In the Muttrah Souk, you’ll see every little thing from native clothes, food, rugs, incense, and more, and don’t overlook to bargain!

Daily Waypoint | N 44º 24′ 56.1″ W 110º 34′ 43.1″ Beach Spring Yellowstone—Beach Spring in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park is a deep pool of hot, clear, bubbling, bluish water, the top of which is generally a few inches below a thick, overhanging geyserite rim. It periodically bubbles more forcefully and rises so that water overflows onto the surrounding greyish-white terrace. The spring was considered a geyser in the early 20th century but has not erupted for many decades. https://www.fmgphoto.com/Feature-Special-Galleries/n-W7xDfN/Yellowstone/i-jhk5jRQ/A https://followingmygps.com/yellowstone-national-park/ #OldFaithful #YellowstoneNationalPark #Yellowstone #NationalPark #geyser #geothermal #beachspring #goparks #YNP #landscapephotography #yellowstoneforever #uppergeyserbasin #discoveramerica #travelpics #travellife #travelinspiration #travelblog #travelphotography #fmgphoto #followingmygps #travelphotography #traveller #photography #travelamerica #lifestyle #LifeWellLived #travelmagazine #roadtripping #exploring #roadtrip (at Upper Geyser Basin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEcFdMYscN6/?igshid=1g5s98c46djl2

Earliest signs of life: Scientists find microbial remains in ancient rocks

Western Australia's famous 3.5-billion-year-old stromatolites contain microbial remains of some of the earliest life on Earth, UNSW scientists have found. Scientists have found exceptionally preserved microbial remains in some of Earth's oldest rocks in Western Australia—a major advance in the field, offering clues for how life on Earth originated. The UNSW researchers found the organic matter in stromatolites—fossilized microbial structures—from the ancient Dresser Formation in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The stromatolites have been thought to be of biogenic origin ever since they were discovered in the 1980s. However, despite strong textural evidence, that theory was unproven for nearly four decades, because scientists hadn't been able to show the definitive presence of preserved organic matter remains—until today's publication in Geology. "This is an exciting discovery—for the first time, we're able to show the world that these stromatolites are definitive evidence for the earliest life on Earth," says lead researcher Dr. Raphael Baumgartner, a research associate of the Australian Centre for Astrobiology in Professor Martin Van Kranendonk's team at UNSW. Professor Van Kranendonk says the discovery is the closest the team have come to a "smoking gun" to prove the existence of such ancient life. "This represents a major advance in our knowledge of these rocks, in the science of early life investigations generally, and—more specifically—in the search for life on Mars. We now have a new target and new methodology to search for ancient life traces," Professor Van Kranendonk says. Drilling deep, looking closely Ever since the Dresser Formation was discovered in the 1980, scientists have wondered whether the structures were truly microbial and therefore the earliest signs of life. "Unfortunately, there is a climate of mistrust of textural biosignatures in the research community. Hence, the origin of the stromatolites in the Dresser Formation has been a hotly debated topic," Dr. Baumgartner says. "In this study, I spent a lot of time in the lab, using micro-analytical techniques to look very closely at the rock samples, to prove our theory once and for all." Stromatolites in the Dresser Formation are usually sourced from the rock surface, and are therefore highly weathered. For this study, the scientists worked with samples that were taken from further down into the rock, below the weathering profile, where the stromatolites are exceptionally well preserved. "Looking at drill core samples allowed us to look at a perfect snapshot of ancient microbial life," Dr. Baumgartner says. Using a variety of cutting-edge micro-analytical tools and techniques—including high-powered electron microscopy, spectroscopy and isotope analysis—Dr. Baumgartner analyzed the rocks. He found that the stromatolites are essentially composed of pyrite—a mineral also known as 'fool's gold' – that contains organic matter. "The organic matter that we found preserved within pyrite of the stromatolites is exciting—we're looking at exceptionally preserved coherent filaments and strands that are typically remains of microbial biofilms," Dr. Baumgartner says. The researchers say that such remains have never been observed before in the Dresser Formation, and that actually seeing the evidence down the microscope was incredibly exciting. "I was pretty surprised—we never expected to find this level of evidence before I started this project. I remember the night at the electron microscope where I finally figured out that I was looking at biofilm remains. I think it was around 11pm when I had this 'eureka' moment, and I stayed until three or four o'clock in the morning, just imaging and imaging because I was so excited. I totally lost track of time," Dr. Baumgartner says. Clues for search for life on Mars Just over two years ago, Dr. Baumgartner's colleague Tara Djokic, a UNSW Ph.D. candidate, found stromatolites in hot spring deposits in the same region in WA, pushing back the earliest known existence of microbial life on land by 580 million years. "Tara's main findings were these exceptional geyserite deposits that indicate that there have been geysers in this area, and therefore fluid expulsions on exposed land surface," Dr. Baumgartner says. "Her study was focused on the broader geological setting of the paleo-environment—lending support to the theory that life originated on land, rather than in the ocean—whereas my study really went deeper on the finer details of the stromatolite structures from the area." The scientists say that both studies are helping us answer a central question: where did humanity come from? "Understanding where life could have emerged is really important in order to understand our ancestry. And from there, it could help us understand where else life could have occurred—for example, where it was kick-started on other planets," Dr. Baumgartner says. Just last month, NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) scientists spent as week in the Pilbara with Martin Van Kranendonk for specialist training in identifying signs of life in these same ancient rocks. It was the first time that Van Kranendonk shared the region's insights with a dedicated team of Mars specialists—a group including the Heads of NASA and ESA Mars 2020 missions. "It is deeply satisfying that Australia's ancient rocks and our scientific know-how is making such a significant contribution to our search for extra-terrestrial life and unlocking the secrets of Mars," says Professor Van Kranendonk.
