Draconian (adj)

Meaning great severity; derived from Draco, an Athenian law scribe under whom small offences had heavy punishments.

From “The Walrus and The Carpenter”

By Lewis Carroll (Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)

“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings.”

“Do some surface features on Enceladus roll like a conveyor belt? A leading interpretation of recent images taken of Saturn’s most explosive moon indicate that they do. This form of asymmetric tectonic activity, very unusual on Earth, likely holds clues to the internal structure of Enceladus, which may contain subsurface seas where life might be able to develop. Pictured above is a composite of 28 images taken by the robotic Cassini spacecraft in October just after swooping by the ice-spewing orb. Inspection of these images show clear tectonic displacements where large portions of the surface all appear to move all in one direction. Near the top of the image appears one of the most prominent tectonic divides: Labtayt Sulci, a canyon about one kilometer deep.”

Today I had made a new compound, never described before and it has an awesome UV paint, it glows pink(:
It is an oxime’s OH protected with a p-toluenesulfonyl group and because that it has a conjugated double bond structure what is “colorful”.

Something crystallized out at the bottom of this Büchner flask. It should be an amino acid, but the NMR spectra will tell the truth.
Pretty long little needles, looks great and looks really pure(:
