Enjoy the quiet moments of beauty, like these winter bell jellies, this season.❄️🔔🪼

There’s wonder in ocean life, and caring for it helps us all.

Like a tiny heart beating in time, this deep-sea jellyfish — Periphylla — pulses through the Ocean’s midwater. ROV pilots filmed this luminescent beauty at 920m along Argentina’s continental shelf, off the coast of Buenos Aires #ArgentinianDeepSeeps Credit: ROV SuBastian / Schmidt Ocean Institute

The EU is preparing a gift for pesticide giants: toxic pesticides could stay on the market forever, with no safety tests at all. Yes, forever approvals. Yes, this is real. Sign now to stop it. action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-12...
Protect Our Food From Toxic Pesticides
The EU is preparing a gift for pesticide giants, and a nightmare for the rest of us. A new proposal could let toxic pesticides, including glyphosate, stay on the market forever.Yes, forever approvals....

Spectacular strawberry squid! Histioteuthis squid w/massively asymmetrical eyes: 1 larger for viewing the silhouettes of predators & prey above, & 1 smaller eye for capturing glimmers of bioluminescent snacks below. #AsgardArchea - 730m - ROV SuBastian / Schmidt Ocean Institute

Chromodoris sp., but I really don't know which species

Today's nudibranch is Diversidoris crocea. My book calls it a saffron noumea, but it doesn't seem to have any widely accepted common name, which seems a shame. Pic from Anilao.

A bright yellow nudibranch crawling over an algae-covered surface. It has a white/pale yellow marginal band but no other markings. I think that the stubby rhinopore is not damaged but just foreshortened because it's pointing straight at the camera. #Nature #Wildlife #WildlifePhotography #NaturePhotography #UnderwaterPhotography #Macro

For the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a supernova explosion just a day after detection, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.

Achieved by our VLT, this feat will help us understand how massive stars die: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2520/

1/2 #speciesaday no. 666 (weirdly also my 9,666th species in the BI) is Rainbow Sea Slug (Babakina anadoni). A pair found under a rock at Silver Steps, Falmouth yesterday! Utterly mind blowing, easily a contender for the highlight of the year. My 35th nudibranch and 258th mollusc.

I'd forgotten about #Nudivember 🙄 Having photos not drawings it's difficult to stick to the day's prompt so I hope I can be forgiven for using it to spread a little #nudebranch love - they're beautiful creatures
This one's Bornella anguilla, what a moustache😂
#marinelife #invertebrates #diving
Photograph of a nudebranch, Bornella anguilla, taken while scuba diving in Indonesia. It is covered in a striking spotted pattern with larger yellow spots and smaller red and white spots. It has several large cerata protruding from its back for respiration and its head has a rather comical appearance due to the thick fleshy feelers above its mouth parts

It's #Nudivember, so... here we go with the nudibranchs! This one is Hypselodoris apolegma, protographed in Anilao.

Groot schandaal: Raisa Blommestijn licht haar donateurs op en laat de belastingbetaler betalen voor haar rassenhaat-rechtszaak. Het is onvoorstelbaar hóé corrupt dit mens is en hoe ze desondanks in een slachtofferrol kruipt, geen verantwoording wil afleggen. De extreemrechtse profeet = verdienmodel.
