GW Orionis is such a weird place. A trinary star that's still forming, surrounded by bizarrely tipped rings of planet-forming material, and now astronomers have found a long streamer of gas that might be torquing things too! badastronomy.…
Yesterday was Labor Day. Did you have to buy your holiday with eels, like folks in medieval Littleport? In the 1250s they got out of their customary service to the Bishop of Ely by paying an extra 2,000 eels each year. Greedy bishop. Hap…
A total heart-sink moment this morning when I saw this over on LinkedIn from a colleague who transitioned to corporate data science 8yrs ago. I have politely pointed them to @hogg.bsky.social's excellent piece on AI-use in academia, but i…
Just a normal camera, if “normal” means: 🔭 A 3.2-billion-pixel sensor 🌌 A field of view that could fit ~45 full Moons ⏱️ A new 8-gigabyte image every ~40 seconds NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory's LSST Camera is the largest ever built (thanks …
A long time ago, in a thread on Twitter, we were joking about who is more arrogant: physicists or computer scientists? Both fields have a reputation for assuming that other subjects can’t be that difficult. Ridiculous, I know. (1/n) 🧪

One year ago, The Radiant Sea appeared in print! Still super happy with how it turned out. Our mission to share a different view of ocean life seems to have succeeded.💙 Named a top ten photography book of 2025 by @smithsonianmag.bsky.soc…
This is interesting, to say the least. The unusual furin cleaving site has been a hot topic in Sars-CoV-2 genetics, so finding one in the wild suggests that it may not be that unusual after all. There are a few open questions about what …

The North American(NGC 7000) and the Pelican(IC 5070) nebulae. I updated my earlier post from 2 spectral bands to 3 rendering ionized Sulfur(reds), Hydrogen(yellows) and Oxygen (blues) .(The Hubble telescope team's color palette) Exp: 10.…
