The situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is not looking good. Each red square represents a fire. The six reactor buildings are top left-center. And today: It looks like the shelling has switched to the north. Compare with yesterday. The southern fires are still burning.

I've been occupying myself lately by monitoring the war in Ukraine using some tools that I've stumbled across. I thought that I'd share them with you all. First up is: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ Click on "U" to see the military flights. Click on the plane to get its details. Then pull up Find the planes of interest in the Multi View mode and click on the "Show only selected aircraft" icon. Flightrader24 allows you to go back in time and playback flights. Unfortunately, you can't select military flights with FR24 (or at least I haven't been able to figure a way). ADS-B Exchange can do this but doesn't playback (as far as I can see). For those of a nautical bent, this sight will be interesting: Click on a ship to find out its details. There are all sorts of fun tools to play with. Hours of entertainment! Finally there is NASA's FIRMS site: This site was set up for monitoring forest fires, but works quite well in a war setting. Have fun! PS. If anyone has any others, please feel free to add to the list. PPS. A video on how to use the FIRMS site is here.

We could have a place where the latest Covid news is posted. For example, PTSD could explain why so many on this site appear to be mentally deranged. We could post interesting tidbits that we come across.
