FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Hot Chip performing in 2016

Made in the Dark is the third studio album by English indietronica band Hot Chip
(pictured), released on 4 February 2008 through EMI Records internationally and
Astralwerks and DFA Records in the United States. A defining feature of the
13-track album is the strong presence of romantic ballads. Alexis Taylor, the
main contributor to the lyrics, felt that feelings of love and happiness, partly
the result of his recent marriage, had contributed to the album's romantic tone.
The title track was described as "sublime" by one critic. Songs such as "Ready
for the Floor" and "Bendable Poseable" were noted by critics to be reminiscent
of the band's previous release, The Warning. Some critics felt that Made in the
Dark lacked focus and contained too many varied elements. The album peaked at
number four on the UK Albums Chart, and entered at number 109 on the U.S.
Billboard 200. Several singles were released from the album, including "Shake a
Fist", "Ready for the Floor", and "One Pure Thought". (Full article...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

The geology of the Moon is quite different from that of the Earth. The Moon
lacks a true atmosphere, and the absence of oxygen and water eliminates erosion
due to weather. Instead, the surface is eroded much more slowly through
bombardment of the lunar surface by micrometeorites. It lacks any known form of
plate tectonics, has a lower gravitational acceleration, and cooled faster after
its formation because of its small size. In addition to impacts, the
geomorphology of the lunar surface has been shaped by volcanism, which is now
thought to have ended less than 50 million years ago. The Moon is a
differentiated body, with a crust, mantle, and core. This global geologic map of
the Moon was published by Chinese planetary geologists in 2022 at a scale of 1
to 2.5 million at full resolution. Colours are used to indicate different
stratigraphic units corresponding to various periods of the lunar geologic
timescale, with structural features and Moon landing sites also marked. The main
map uses the Mollweide projection. Two insets are provided for the northern and
southern polar areas, as well as two smaller maps illustrating the lithology and
tectonic units of the lunar surface.
