☀️ Lessons from the November 2025 solar storm Last week, Earth was hit by a large solar storm. The event provided an opportunity for multiple ESA missions, whether orbiting Earth or far into deep space, to collect radiation data, which is now being analysed. www.esa.int/Space_Safety...

As far as the weather forecast goes, it looks like I only had one hour to try to get a pictures of interstellar comet 3I/Atlas. And it worked! Even the tail is faintly visible. It looks like typical comet even with small equipment - Olympus E-M1II with 75-300 mm lens and Minitrack LX2 tracker.

A reminder that all too often we live our lives ignorant of the beauty that surrounds us, Springbok antelopes in Namibia trundle unawares through a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of colors, set against distant mountains receding into the shade. #bluesky #photography #landscapephotography #travel #nature

WOW! I've been seeing a medium sized murder of crows on my way to my pelican sunset location, about 40-50, and I've thought about stopping, but never had the time. Today I had an extra 20 minutes and while driving past I saw WAY more crows AND them swooping on GULLS! I stopped. And got these. 🪶 ⚔️

🧪🪶 More flying raptors!

Here’s an annotated version of our comet image. We also want to thank our downlink and uplink teams who spent a huge amount of time working on this. Our camera was not designed to image interstellar objects 19 million miles away, but their hard work and planning paid off.

AI slop gracing the cover of Royal Society B. Not only in AI yellow but scientifically nonsensical. Come on. I'm certain human photographs and artworks were ignored to platform ... this.

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑 Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for. We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

Finally, the specimen of Tupandactylus imperator, held at the Brazil's National Museum, has been published on. The goat-like beard is likely the plant matter. scielo.br/j/aabc/a/6HvMmqXH7NmGvSHfrY7spjQ/?lang=en

Mission confirmed ✅ #CopernicusEU Sentinel-6B is now in orbit and ready to begin its Launch & Early Operations phase with @operations.esa.int. The satellite is ready to continue a decades-long mission to track the height of the planet’s seas – a key measure of climate change.

And there it goes! After separating from its Falcon 9 rocket, #CopernicusEU Sentinel-6B is now flying solo under the care of @operations.esa.int. We’re waiting to receive its first signal 📡 @eumetsat.int @euspa.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu @climate.noaa.gov @cnes.fr

Now that SVP is over, I can finally post the commission that I did for @mosasaurologist.bsky.social 's poster on a certain very cool taxon! #paleoart #sciart

🚅After the first part of the trip in the mountains we travelled by train to Kyoto, being welcomed to the city by the Kyoto Tower. The day of arrival we visited Tō-ji, a buddhist temple with the country's highest pagoda and some impressive statues inside pavilions #Japan#Kyoto#photography

Here the result of the Seaham Formation #paleostream, maybe the most relaxing formation stream we will ever have! This Carboniferous tundra wasn't chosen because of it's fossils, but because of its setting.

🐔🌩️A common sight in Tateyama is the local subspecies of rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta), also known there are thunder bird. This bird was revered as messenger of the gods and features in local art We were also weary of bears, but didn't see any #birdphotography#birds#Japan#Tateyama#mountain

🌄The next morning the Sun was shining, so at least we could enjoy some pretty views before returning to the lowlands. In retrospective, we were a reckless by continuing our hike, which could have ended up badly. Lesson learnt, do not underestimate the mountain! #photography#Japan#Tateyama#mountain

🏔️Hiking in Tateyama. The mountain, reaching 3000m high, was covered in beautiful autumn colours. Unfortunately, during most of the hike we were surrounded by a cloud, with little visibility and ending up completely soaked after 6h in the rain #photography#Japan#Tateyama#mountain

Got informed about some sad news. Garfield Minott, a prolific dinosaur modeller, special effects and palaeoartist, recognised for contributions to the description of dinosaur binocular vision, passed away at age of 58.

Mammoth spotted in South Poland! Actually, a to-scale model by Studio Kamyk for the Jegiellonian University Nature Education Centre, Krakow. 😍

So this is what I was up to today. Go New Glenn! Go ESCAPADE!!

A herd of Rhabdodon moves through the forest in its search for food. It is a fairly generalist herbivore that does not hesitate to feed on almost any kind of low vegetation. Its relatively large size requires a higher consumption, which makes it less selective than its smaller thin-snouted relatives

🌌The night sky is beautiful in the mountain. We could see the Milky Way, the Pleiades and many constellations, as well as some planets. The photos have lower quality though #astrophotography#Japan#Tateyama
