The best meteor shower of 2020 is about to light up our atmosphere

The peak of the brilliant annual Geminids meteor shower is happening on Dec. 13 and 14, the space agency advised on Friday.

In 2020, the Geminid viewing will be especially good (if you're graced with a clear night!),
because there's nearly a new moon, meaning "there will be darker skies and no moonlight to wash out the fainter meteors."

Europe's Biggest Vertical Farm Will Be Powered by Wind and Planted by Robots


The new facility is outside of Copenhagen
in Dänemark 🇩🇰
At 7,000 square meters it will be the biggest vertical farm in Europe. Crops will grow in stacks 14 layers high and will use more than 20,000 LED lights ( powered by wind ) .
The Danish state fund has invested more than €8 million. Other investors include the Danish Green Investment Fund.

Sure, they may not be able to grow everything under the sun—for now they’re mostly limited to greens like lettuce, spinach, kale, etc.—but they can grow the same quantity and quality of crops year-round, and they’ll redefine the meaning of “eating local.” If enough of them pop up, they could even help allow some farmland to be reforested.

Fruit Walls: Urban Farming in the 1600s


The fruit wall appears around the start of the so-called Little Ice Age, a period of exceptional cold in Europe that lasted from about 1550 to 1850.

The design of the modern greenhouse is strikingly different from its origins in the middle ages [*]. Initially, the quest to produce warm-loving crops in temperate regions (and to extend the growing season of local crops) didn't involve any glass at all. In 1561, Swiss botanist Conrad Gessner described the effect of sun-heated walls on the ripening of figs and currants, which mature faster than when they are planted further from the wall.
Gessner's observation led to the emergence of the "fruit wall" in Northwestern Europe. By planting fruit trees close to a specially built wall with high thermal mass and southern exposure, a microclimate is created that allows the cultivation of Mediterranean fruits in temperate climates, such as those of Northern France, England, Belgium and the Netherlands.
