“Oumuamua’s Tendinopathy”

Posted byStephen FuttererPosted inUncategorized
Achilles tendon ossification has been shown to contain chemical elements that are alien to our solar system.
Oumuamua up close and personal. And, yes, it closely resembles a well-formed stool (or Baby Ruth candy bar).

(From Wikipedia) Oumuamua is the first interstellar object detected passing through the Solar System. It was discovered by the Haleakalā Observatory (Hawaii) in October 2017 on its egress. The planetary system of origin is unknown (perhaps it is a giant space turd born of a colossal celestial being). The name is the Hawaiian word for “a messenger from afar arriving first.” Scientists estimate it between 100 and 1000 meters in length, reddish in color, and faintly redolent of overripe cabbage.

Baby Ruth in all her glory!

Much of my career in radiology has been spent studying, with great fascination, the internal mechanisms of the human body. This blog is an effort to expand that view to the outside world and also to map my own experiences engaging with it.
