Three Instagram settings that could EXPOSE your cheating partner and the Google Maps clue they don't want anyone to find
SMARTPHONES hold a treasure trove of data that cheating partners will do everything in their power to keep hidden. I should know, as I caught an ex messaging other guys through a series of sneaky app protections despite his best attempts to keep it all a secret. 2 2 Of all the digital spaces that fed into my concerns during that time, Instagram was high up there. I saw too many people liking my partners photos and overly flirty comments written on them too. It did make me wonder, is my partner doing the same on other people's profiles? There are a number of hidden settings on Instagram that can reveal all that and more. However, raiding through a partner's phone is a breach of trust and technically it's illegal too. Instagram activity On the settings page there's an activity option which can show all the likes and comments from an account. Tap each and a full lowdown appears, starting from the most recent. There are even toggles to set date range, so people can go back to specific dates. And a Filter by Author drop down shows every single like the account has made for that individual's account too. Hidden photo tags Photo tagging is another forgotten feature love rats need to careful of. Cheats that want to keep quiet about an outing they shouldn't be doing won't approve photo tags. And some people simply don't know that this feature even exists. Under the tag requests option, there's all the photos that have been left unapproved for tagging onto the user's profile page. This is found under the tags option from the menu, followed by pending tags to see. Elsewhere, anything that's been searched in the main search bar is visible too. All anyone has to do is tap the Recent Searches button.

See A ‘Smiley Face' Above As A ‘Supermoon' Strikes: The Night Sky This Week
A crescent moon rises behind the skyline of lower Manhattan in New York City on January 14, 2018, as ... More seen from West Orange, New Jersey. (Photo by) Each Monday, I pick out North America's celestial highlights for the week ahead (which also apply to mid-northern latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere). Check my main feed for more in-depth articles on stargazing, astronomy, eclipses and more. There's a lot going on in the night sky this week. It begins with a new moon, which may mean high tides and potential flooding in coastal areas. In its wake, a new orbit of the moon around Earth will begin in striking fashion, with several nights to see a beautiful waxing crescent moon close to Jupiter, then Mars. Here's everything you need to know about stargazing and the night sky this week. Today brings a new moon, when our natural satellite is roughly between the Earth and the sun, so completely invisible to us. That happens at precisely 10:02 p.m. EDT, and this month, it's rather special because it's also a 'supermoon.' Called a perigee moon by astronomers, it means a moon that is as close as possible in any given orbit. It occurs because the moon's orbit around Earth is elliptical, so it must have a farthest (apogee) and closest (perigee) point. This month's new moon is actually the third-closest new moon of the year at 223,720 miles (360,044 km) from Earth. More importantly, perhaps, a new moon means no moonlight, so perfect conditions for stargazing. Tuesday, May 27: Young Moon And Jupiter If skies are clear about 45 minutes after sunset, scan the northwestern horizon for a razor-thin crescent moon — just over 1%-lit — hanging delicately near brilliant Jupiter. Binoculars will likely be necessary to catch the moon's razor-thin crescent. Wednesday, May 28: Crescent Moon And Jupiter The waxing crescent moon will have moved slightly eastward in its orbit, growing to about 5%-lit and positioned slightly higher in the sky after sunset. Tonight, it will sit just above Jupiter in the west-northwest sky during twilight. Earthshine — the faint illumination of the moon's dark side by reflected sunlight from Earth — may be visible. Thursday, May 29: 'Smiley Face' Moon In Gemini Tonight, you'll see one of the most delightful lunar alignments of the year. About 45 minutes after sunset, look west for a 12%-illuminated crescent moon forming the 'smile' beneath two bright 'eyes' — the twin stars Castor and Pollux in Gemini. The moon will set shortly after twilight ends. Saturday, May 31: Moon, Mars And Regulus A 29%-lit crescent moon will meet Mars in the west shortly after sunset. Look just beyond the pair for Regulus, the bright blue-white star in the constellation Leo. Sunday, June 1: Crescent Moon And Regulus Now 39%-lit, the now very bright waxing crescent moon will be seen very close to Regulus high in the southwestern sky after sunset. From North America, the moon will appear to be much closer to Regulus than to Mars. The times and dates given apply to mid-northern latitudes. For the most accurate location-specific information, consult online planetariums like Stellarium. Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes.

When To See Weird ‘Space Clouds' Glow After Sunset — And What They Are

More Pleul/picture alliance via Getty Images) If you're in the northern hemisphere and it's been a clear day, look at the northeastern night sky before bed. You may see something astonishingly beautiful — noctilucent ("night shining") clouds. These high-altitude clouds, formed in the coldest place in Earth's atmosphere at the edge of space, result from dust left by "shooting stars." Here's everything you need to know about the beginning of the noctilucent cloud season — and when and where to see them. Noctilucent clouds are Earth's highest clouds. They form between Earth and space, about 47–53 miles (76 to 85 kilometers) above the ground in the mesosphere. Noctilucent clouds can only be seen at twilight, shining after sunset, but they are never guaranteed. Visible as vast, wispy electric blue structures, they glow surprisingly brightly as blueish or silvery streaks in the twilight sky. They do so because, during the observation season, the sun is never far beneath the horizon, so it can illuminate the clouds for some time after it appears to have set, as seen from the Earth's surface. You don't need any special equipment to see noctilucent clouds. A superb and extensive 'grand display' of noctilucent clouds at dawn on July 16, 2022. (Photo by: ... More Alan Dyer/VW Pics/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) Noctilucent clouds are only seen in very limited times of day and times of year, depending on your location. The farther from the equator you are, the more likely you are to see them. They're typically seen from late May to August in the Northern Hemisphere and from November to February in the Southern Hemisphere. The timing means they effectively replace the possibility of aurora, but are sometimes confused with them. Noctilucent clouds form in the mesosphere, a layer of Earth's atmosphere about 22 miles (35 kilometers) thick. According to NASA, summer in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere is when the mesosphere is most humid, with water vapor rising from lower altitudes. Water vapor is one of the three essential ingredients for noctilucent clouds. Noctilucent clouds are thin, wispy clouds hovering at the edge of space. Noctilucent clouds are seeded by microscopic debris from disintegrating meteors and micro-meteors — "shooting stars!" When you see a shooting star streak across the sky, it's doing so in the mesosphere, where the friction of it hitting gases causes energy to be released as photons. As it disintegrates, it leaves a dust of sodium and iron atoms that settle upon tiny ice crystals that form in the -120°C (-184°F) temperatures. That also makes noctilucent clouds Earth's coldest clouds. Mix water vapor with meteoric dust and very cold temperatures, and the result can be noctilucent clouds. The sodium and iron atoms in the mesosphere are highly reflective. Enormous telescopes fire lasers at this part of the Earth's atmosphere to align their optics and correct for any turbulence. It also means that the metal-coated ice grains in noctilucent clouds reflect radar and, in theory, a lot of light. However, what you see when you look at noctilucent clouds is not the collective brightness of all the metal-coated ice grains but ripples within them reflecting as one, according to researchers at Caltech.

They were first observed in 1885, across the world, in the wake of the eruption of Krakatoa in Indonesia in 1883 — one of the most significant volcanic events ever recorded — which sent up a massive plume of ash into Earth's atmosphere. During the 20th century, they were seen more regularly between 40 and 50 degrees north latitude. NASA's Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) mission has been studying them since 2007 to determine if the mesosphere is changing and how that's linked to Earth's climate and/or the solar cycle. Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes.
