SANTé - DELICIEUSES HERBES AROMATIQUES - La verveine
Les verveines appartiennent à la famille des Verbénacées. La plus connue du genre Verbena est la verveine officinale. Elle est connue depuis la nuit des temps sous le nom d'herbe aux sorciers, comme philtre d'amour, porte-bonheur ou pour lever des sorts. Elle peut être utilisée en cuisine pour aromatiser les sorbets, les crèmes, les entremets ou pour réaliser des sirops mais c'est surtout en infusion qu'on la consomme. Ses vertus thérapeutiques sont connues depuis l'Antiquité. Cette plante traite essentiellement les digestions difficiles, les vertiges et les migraines. La plante possède des propriétés apaisantes. Elle est également utilisée pour soigner les rhumatismes et les blessures.

ASTRONOMY - ZTF meets ATLAS
2023 February 10

Explanation: Fading as it races across planet Earth's northern skies comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) shares this telescopic frame with comet C/2022 U2 (ATLAS). Captured on the night of February 6 from a garden observatory in Germany's Bavarian Forest, the starry field of view toward the constellation Auriga spans about 2.5 degrees. Discovered by sky survey projects in 2022 (the Zwicky Transient Facility and the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) these long-period comets are outbound, reaching perihelion just last month. The much fainter comet ATLAS made its closest approach to our fair planet on January 29 at a distance of about 4.6 light-minutes, compared to a mere 2.4 light-minutes for comet ZTF on February 2. This comet ATLAS lacks the well-developed tails of the formerly naked-eye comet ZTF. But both comets sport greenish tinted comas, emission from diatomic carbon molecules fluorescing in sunlight. Continuing its dash across planet Earth's sky, the good-binocular comet ZTF will appear close to bright planet Mars tonight.

ASTRONOMY - Nacreous Clouds over Lapland
2023 February 9

Explanation: Vivid and lustrous, wafting iridescent waves of color wash across this skyscape from Kilpisjärvi, Finland. Known as nacreous clouds or mother-of-pearl clouds, they are rare. But their unforgettable appearance was captured looking south at 69 degrees north latitude at sunset on January 24. A type of polar stratospheric cloud, they form when unusually cold temperatures in the usually cloudless lower stratosphere form ice crystals. Still sunlit at altitudes of around 15 to 25 kilometers, the clouds can diffract sunlight even after sunset and just before the dawn.
PORTUGAL - MONUMENTOS PORTUGUESES NO MUNDO - Igreja do Bom Jesus (Índia)
Esta igreja situa-se em Goa, região que esteve sob domínio português durante 4 séculos. Foi mandada erigir pela Companhia de Jesus, e foi erguida em apenas 9 anos, um recorde de construção para a época.
A igreja tem um interior incrível, com destaque para o chão de mármore com pedras preciosas incrustadas, e para o túmulo de São Francisco Xavier, que ficou conhecido como o Apóstolo do Oriente.
