In the constellation of Norma, stars shimmer like tiny lanterns, and a great cloud of glowing gas drifts through space. At its heart, a mighty star named HD 148937 burns bright, warming the misty nebula it once sent swirling into the cosmos.

As the isopod journeyed to its destination, it paused by a mushroom. For a brief moment, they coexisted—one armored, one fragile, both diminutive in a vast world. Soon, the isopod would continue, leaving the mushroom behind.

Upon the vibrant reef,
A tiny slug in shifting hue.
It glides, sways, and swirls,
A gem among ocean pearls.

No shell, no claws to fight,
Yet it sparkles in morning light.
A living dream, small and free,
A brushstroke hidden beneath the sea.

Deep in the heart of the forest, where the light only flows gently through the canopy of leaves and the ground gives way underfoot like a soft carpet of moss, dwells the forest mother, ancient protector of the animals, soul of the forest and healer of wild nature.

Moss merrily makes my moist monoliths magnificent with a marvelous mantle of mossy magnificence!

Happy #ThursJay. 🪶 🌿

Would that all guests embraced thy fleeting art,
Then silence, sweet, would rule this fleeting sphere!
But nay! The world knows not thy humble heart—
And so I cry thy praise where none may hear!

Thou tak’st no more than what the stone may give,
Nor linger’st past the time that fate allows.
O quiet wanderer! In thee doth live
A grace that shames the tempest’s wrathful vows!

#chatgpt #mosssonet #ai #moss

O moss! Thou art a guest most true and fair,
So soft, so green, so gentle in thy tread!
No clamor dost thou bring, no weight to bear,
But lay’st thy verdant crown where none have bled.

Paradise
Lived in
Yet
Unrealised
Dismissed
Degraded
In favour
Of a promise
Of #paradise
Beyond
This living.

🌱Now that's more like it! Galanthus elwesii (Elwes's Snowdrop or Greater Snowdrop). Tempting as it was to brush off the dirt & mud, that is a sign of a battle well fought.💪 Like most early bulbs, they gradually melt their way up through ice via heat generated by cell division. Amaryllidaceae

#PPOD: In the center of this wide-field image from JWST is Uranus, one of the ringed planets of our solar system. That's an amazing capture, and it would be extraordinary on its own... 🧪 🔭

What feels like relentless weeks of cloudy skies have finally opened up enough to collect some light on an ongoing project (my white whale). Here's the Wolf's Cave nebula. Still alot more NB data needed but its coming along nicely. Details in the alt text. #astronomy #astrophotography #space

The planets only form a straight line along the egg-white of our solar system once every 369 billion years. Our Sun is only 5 billion years old. Our Universe is only 13.8 billion years old. The 25th Jan Planetary Parade is not this type of ultra rare alignment! 🧵3/6
