UX Antliae
UX Antliae is a post-AGB and R Coronae Borealis variable  star that has a base apparent magnitude of around 11.85, with irregular dimmings down to below magnitude 18.0.

Researchers David Kilkenny and J.E. Westerhuys of the South African Astronomical Observatory confirmed that UX Antliae was an R Coronae Borealis variable in 1990 after noting the similarity of its spectrum to the RCB star W Mensae. It had been suspected of being one since 1940, but had been little-studied and exhibited no characteristic declines between 1975 and 1990.

Assuming that its absolute magnitude is around -5, it has been estimated as lying 25000 parsecs distant from Earth.

It has around 70% the mass of the Sun and an effective (surface) temperature of around 7000 K.

Lime Kilns (Eureka, Utah)
The Lime Kilns located at the western end of Homansville Canyon near Eureka, Utah, were part of a lime quarry in the 1920s.  The kilns were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.  The listing included one contributing site and two contributing structures: two lime kilns that are approximately 8 feet (2.4 m) in diameter and 30 to 40 feet (9.1 to 12.2 m) deep.

Lime kiln
A lime kiln is a kiln used for the calcination of limestone (calcium carbonate) to produce the form of lime called quicklime (calcium oxide). The chemical equation for this reaction is: CaCO3 + heat → CaO + CO2

This reaction can take place at anywhere above 840 °C (1,540 °F), but is generally considered to occur at 900 °C (1,650 °F) (at which temperature the partial pressure of CO2 is 1 atmosphere), but a temperature around 1,000 °C (1,830 °F) (at which temperature the partial pressure of CO2 is 3.8 atmospheres) is usually used to make the reaction proceed quickly. Excessive temperature is avoided because it produces unreactive, "dead-burned" lime.

Slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) can be formed by mixing quicklime with water.
Jeremy Nathans
Jeremy Nathans (born July 31, 1958) is a professor of molecular biology and genetics at Johns Hopkins University. He is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences and an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

He is known for first isolating and characterizing the opsin genes contributing to human color vision. In 2020 he was awarded the Benjamin Franklin Medal (Franklin Institute) in Life Science. In 2022 he was awarded the Nemmers Prize in Medical Science.

Opsin
Animal opsins are G-protein-coupled receptors and a group of proteins made light-sensitive via a chromophore, typically retinal. When bound to retinal, opsins become retinylidene proteins, but are usually still called opsins regardless. Most prominently, they are found in photoreceptor cells of the retina. Five classical groups of opsins are involved in vision, mediating the conversion of a photon of light into an electrochemical signal, the first step in the visual transduction cascade. Another opsin found in the mammalian retina, melanopsin, is involved in circadian rhythms and pupillary reflex but not in vision. Humans have in total nine opsins. Beside vision and light perception, opsins may also sense temperature, sound, or chemicals.
