JWST captured a stunning mid-infrared view of Wolf-Rayet Apep, showing four spiraling dust shells around a chaotic triple-star system. Two massive stars forge carbon dust in colliding winds while a third star carves holes through each layer.

Well done to be covered by CNN. Maybe our little YouTube channel needs to follow suit!
Our study of time processing in bumblebees 🐝 covered by @cnn.com here edition.cnn.com/2025/11/12/s... . Our summary is here youtu.be/hsGxU65OMQk and the original paper royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.... @royalsocietypublishing.org
Scientists now know that bees can process time, a first in insects | CNN
Bumblebees can process the duration of flashes of light and use the information to decide where to look for food, a new study has found.

It gets quickly mixed up.
My family are useful canaries of what news the public actually sees from astro, and only yesterday did my mum ask me about a study (one article of many linked below) who said they "trained an AI" to simulate the Milky Way.
This was NOT AI as how the public sees "AI", and this is disingenuous.

@ydnew.bsky.social How RNA and Amino Acids First Connected
Could life’s first genetic and protein systems have begun in water? A study shows that amino acids can spontaneously attach to RNA in mild conditions and form tiny peptide–RNA hybrids.

Interesting paper in Nature magazine
Cut-marked bones from 2 million years ago in Romania @natureportfolio.bsky.social. No hominin remains at the site.
What are the odds that these marks were made by tool-using non-hominin primates (e.g., the recovered large terrestrial monkey Paradolichopithecus)?
Low, sure. But impossible? No 🧪🐒🔪
