       Why Are There Three Twilights?And we’re not talking about vampire books. Most of us think of twilight as a single period of transition from bright day to deep night, but there are actually three twilights: civil, nautical, and astronomical. Each is defined by how far below the horizon the sun is, and hint at our lives before artificial light and GPS.https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/civil-nautical-astronomical-twilight #twilight #sunset #horizon

       300,000-Year-Old ‘Giant Handaxes’ Unearthed in EnglandArchaeologists have found several handaxes — two of which can be classed as ‘giant handaxes’ — at the Maritime Academy site in Frindsbury, Kent, England. These stone tools may have had a specialized function in early human society, or relate to specific human groups, or even human species, expressing distinctive cultural identities during a defined period of the Pleistocene.https://www.sci.news/archaeology/giant-acheulean-handaxes-12068.html #giant #handaxes #england #300000YrOld

       Password-stealing Linux malware served for 3 years and no one noticedIt's not too late to check if a Linux device you use was targeted.The site, freedownloadmanager[.]org, offered a benign version of a Linux offering known as the Free Download Manager.

       Enceladus has All the Raw Materials for LifeSaturn’s ocean moon, Enceladus, is attracting increasing attention in the search for life in our Solar System. Most of what we know about Enceladus and its ice-covered ocean comes from the Cassini mission.

       ‘I was told to return to work as soon as I regained consciousness.’ Why only a third of assaulted nurses report it to policeViolence against nurses is pervasive. They are more likely to experience physical violence than any other health-care professionals. Violence against nurses occurs in the context of violence against women, with 87.5% of Australia’s nursing workforce identifying as women. https://theconversation.com/i-was-told-to-return-to-work-as-soon-as-i-regained-consciousness-why-only-a-third-of-assaulted-nurses-report-it-to-police-217288 #nurses #assault #police #support #ViolenceAgainstWomen #HealthWorkers #WorkplaceViolence
