A Navy Curtiss Helldiver (SB2C) is snapped against the background provided by its carrier as it returns from a strike at Jap shipping. Far below other planes are being spotted on the flight deck to which the SB2C will soon return.

The motion of its props causes an "aura" to form around this F6F on USS YORKTOWN. Rapid change of pressure and drop in temperature create condensation. Rotating with blades, halo moves aft, giving depth and perspective.

This short paper by Lander and Parkin from 1966 almost achieves xkcd's goal of a wordless proof.

COUNTEREXAMPLE TO EULER'S CONJECTURE ON SUMS OF LIKE POWERS BY L. J. LANDER AND T. R. PARKIN Communicated by J. D. Swift, June 27, 1966 A direct search on the CDC 6600 yielded 27^5 + 84^5 + 110^5 + 133^5 = 144^5 as the smallest instance in which four fifth powers sum to a fifth power. This is a counterexample to a conjecture by Euler that at least n nth powers are required to sum to an nth power, n>2.

Mary Ann Brown Patten was the wife of Joshua Adams Patten, captain of the merchant clipper ship Neptune's Car. In 1856 the ship was bound for San Francisco around Cape Horn from New York when her husband collapsed from fatigue. She took command for 56 days, faced down a mutiny, and successfully learned celestial navigation in order to reach San Francisco. At the time of docking, she was 19 years old and eight months pregnant with her only child. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Ann_Brown_Patten

Debian 13 is mostly working fine on my X1, except that it won't suspend when idle. Closing the lid sleeps fine, but this dialog pops up when the power management timeout is reached with laptop open.
