FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

A 17th-century depiction of Murasaki

Murasaki Shikibu (c. 973 – c. 1014 or 1025) was a Japanese novelist, poet and
lady-in-waiting at the Imperial court in the Heian period. She is best known as
the author of The Tale of Genji, written in Japanese between about 1000 and
1012. She became a lady-in-waiting to Empress Shōshi at the Imperial court
around 1005, and continued to write during her service, adding scenes from court
life to her work, reflected in The Diary of Lady Murasaki. After several years,
she left court and retired with Shōshi to the Lake Biwa region. Within a decade
of its completion, Genji was distributed throughout the provinces; within a
century it was recognized as a classic of Japanese literature and became the
subject of scholarly criticism. The Tale of Genji was translated into English in
the early 20th century; scholars continue to recognize the importance of her
work, which reflects Heian court society at its peak. (Full article...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

Warming stripes (sometimes referred to as climate stripes or climate timelines)
are graphics that use a series of chronologically ordered coloured stripes to
visualize trends in the temperature record of Earth. They employ a minimalist
style, avoiding technical distractions by using colour alone to intuitively
convey trends in global warming to non-scientists. The initial concept of
visualizing historical temperature data has been extended to use animations, to
visualize sea level rise and predictive climate data, and to visually juxtapose
temperature trends with other data series, such as the concentration of carbon
dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, global glacier retreat, precipitation, the
contribution of aviation emissions to global warming, and biodiversity loss.
These warming stripes were published by the British climatologist Ed Hawkins in
2018, using data from the World Meteorological Organization. The colours
represent the annual mean global temperature for each year from 1850 (left) to
2018 (right) – the progression from blue (cooler) to red (warmer) stripes is
indicative of global warming.
