NASA says:

“Uranus is warmer than we thought.

New computer modeling techniques revealed that Uranus generates internal heat. This is similar to our solar system’s other giant planets, like Jupiter or Neptune.”

Brought the middle kid to #OSH25 he wanted to come with me and he likes airplanes. Understanding a 14 year old might get bored I was prepared to leave early if we needed to. However, what happened was OSH was like pouring gasoline on a smoldering fire. Photos are his.

I've been stalking bees lately because bee fur is feathery and it it's fun to show that. This is a bumblebee on a fence post and you can see the feathery fur structure near the shoulder. #inverts

The newly-fledged Powerful Owlet looking quite fierce this morning. Some Noisy Miners had been briefly bothering it. I couldn't see its mama, but she will have no doubt been somewhere close keeping an eye on it.

We rely on game cams to capture important data on elusive species like black-footed cats. That "data" also happens to include adorable kitten play sessions 😍

If your post includes a political bias I will not acknowledge because it is useless.

This is a total solar eclipse.

But it's artificial.

It was made by one spacecraft moving in front of the Sun relative to another—both part of ESA's new Proba-3 mission.

This is an image taken during Proba-3's first artificial solar eclipse with its ASPIICS coronagraph instrument's green filter.

There have been THREE velvet worm (Onychophora) posts in the last day or so, requiring a megathread. I'll add one of their coolest fossils first, from when they were exclusively marine, drawn by @franzanth.bsky.social for @arthropoda-curator.bsky.social

(see next 3 skeets in thread...) 🧪

Open this image up fully.

Look to the top right.

That's Phobos, one of the moons of Mars.

And that bright point of light?

Earth.

Io, moon of Jupiter, seen from Voyager 1 on March 5, 1979. The plume of the volcano Loki can be see non the upper left, the plume of Prometheus can be seen on the right. The big, horseshoe-shaped feature to the left of the center of the image is the volcano Pele.

It is a weird feeling when a family member dies and at their funeral is literally hundreds of people because they were a hero firefighter, and you realize that it would be a stretch if a dozen people will show up to yours when it is time.
