> Bennu's basic mineralogy and chemical nature would have been established during the first 10 million years of the Solar System's formation [...]

> Bennu probably began in the inner asteroid belt as a fragment from a larger body with a diameter of 100 km. Simulations suggest a 70% chance it came from the Polana family and a 30% chance it derived from the Eulalia family. Impactors on boulders of Bennu indicate that Bennu has been in near Earth orbit (separated from the main asteroid belt) for 1–2.5 million years.

"The city stream is redirected in an underground, invisible loop so that it flows backward, or upstream, for a short distance. However, the backflow is always just outflow in reality. This is because the watercourse has a continuous gradient." (translated from a Google result excerpt of this paywalled article [0])

Yes, that seems to be the explanation. I found a few pictures here: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/615007 but they also do not show how it works.

> The photo is from the back of Johnny’s album

It is not - from the same series though.


I mean, it's damn near the exact same photo - so similar that I originally responded correcting you. Seems like an easy, and innocuous, thing to confuse.


You're absolutely right! I'm curious if more photos from the same series exist. I posted a comment on the site asking for more information about the collection where the author found the photo. The comment is not online yet. The post is from 2015, but the author seems to be active.


Digital watch for power.
