LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL NEW JWST IMAGE!!!
A spiral galaxy with a wide, oval-shaped disc. It has a shining spot at the centre from which two curving, pale red spiral arms emerge, wrapping once each around the galaxy. They’re surrounded by a whirl of bright threads and patches of dust, with spots of star formation scattered throughout. The glow of the disc fades smoothly into the background where some patches of dust can be seen, as well as foreground stars.

Y’ALL! Scientists at Schmidt Ocean just captured this rare video of an open-ocean squid caring for its young. That pearl-packed black bag between its tentacles is a brood pouch, each pearl is a developing baby squid (you can see a few hatch out at the end).

Nature is so cool. 🧵

So happy to see that energy and community vibe from the early days in the old place, looks like #SciSky is reaching critical mass 😍

TOS scene. Kirk is standing on the enterprise with some green and yellow and red bleeps and bloops in the background looking up and pondering. Closed caption reads, "I'm very tired."

Come sit with me beneath the stars, yet on top of the world, and witness the Earth create itself. ✨🌋
A volcano erupts thousands of feet above the surrounding landscape, with golden city lights illuminating a layer of haze., and a clear starry night sky above.

I just managed to capture Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinsan-Atlas). Not the best shot as it is low in the evening sky but it should get better over the next few nights. 🔭

Someone said you can only make money if you are truely talented at something. My talents so far:

-being foolish
-surviving by some miracle
-lasting longer than the other guy
-appeasing and escaping tyrants
-cleaning up the messes I made both fugurative and literal.

What job is best for me?

Star Trek The Animated Series scene. (From the olden days, not Lower Decks) Here we see Spock, but he's very old! He's in his normal blue uniform and is also wearing a headband with a diamond shaped golden stone or something right over this forehead. Kind of a hippie looking item. Besides being old the other noteworthy thing here is he's standing against a red wall that looks like somebody took construction paper and a red marker and just scribbled all over it for about 2 hours. Closed captioned reads, "We seem to be aging 10 years per day, Captain."
