another study with the new procreate brushes that I’ve been chipping away at 🦉

🎂Hoy celebramos el 71 aniversario del Parque Nacional de la Caldera de Taburiente 🌋 La caldera, que ha sido moldeada por la fuerza del agua💧 y del tiempo⏳, guarda en su interior una magnífica muestra de pinar canario🌲que transiciona en matorral de cumbre🌸 con la altitud.

oh wow! A stunning Porpita shot from @natalipaqpa on the other site

The beauty of soft lines, of meandering lines... #photography #landscapephotography #landscape #travel #nature #naturephotography #bluesky #sunrise #sunset

Under a giant's gaze ⛰️ Some of ALMA's antennas can be seen here in this image of the Chajnantor Plateau, under the silent gaze of an imposing mountain. Do you know its name and the secret it hides? Find out: https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2540a/ 📷 Y. Villalon/ESO 🔭 🧪

Behold the Eastern Veil Nebula, a haunting supernova remnant that lit up the skies over 10,000 years ago! It took a month to capture using our little amateur telescope under the clear Texas skies. This is also Decembers shot in my 2026 calendar (link in my bio)

Quan l'entomologia truca a la porta de casa teva 😍. Preciós exemplar de l'arna Utetheisa pulchella (Fam. Erebidae) que ha vingut a visitar-me aquest matí al balcó. Els seus colors aposemàtics alerten del seu mal sabor i toxicitat (acumulen alcaloids de les 🌱).

I was honored to create this illustration to accompany the discovery of Breugnathair elgolensis a newly discovered genus of reptile that shares traits of both lizards and snakes. Congratulations and special thanks to the authors! You can read the paper using the link below doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Let's talk about the broad-billed parrot, which has the delightful scientific name of 'Lophopsittacus mauritianus'. Unfortunately, they're extinct, as of the late 17th century, at least in part as the result of human activity. Life restoration by Julian P. Hume, UK Natural History Museum at Tring.

We've expanded our capability to communicate with scientific, exploration and space safety missions across the Solar System with the inauguration of a new 35-m diameter antenna in Australia – the fourth in our Estrack deep-space tracking network. www.esa.int/Enabling_Sup... @operations.esa.int

Day 5 of Spacetober and today’s prompt is Voyager. I created this profile portrait of Voyager in acrylic and ink, against a nebulous background of pastel on black art paper. #Spacetober #Voyager #MixedMedia #Pastels

Happy Ctenophore day! Its a perfect day to celebrate such a small yet beautifully diverse phyla that comes in a wide array of shapes and colors. #Ctenophoreday

'Squid Game' A star trail image made with a time-lapse image sequence photographed by Kimiya Yui from ISS. Each image was restored, remastered then retimed using frame interpolation for a short film. These new frames allowed for a simulated long exposure photograph.

There's a really great MinutePhysics video about the aesthetics- and physics-based reasons for the number of wind turbine blades: youtu.be/pgqkti7yePk

To brighten up a wet and rainy #FossilFriday, here's my take on the recently described drepanosaur Mirasaura grauvogeli. It's shown among the conifer Voltzia, a plant found in abundance in the same beds as Mirasaura. The pointed sail shape is based on fossil data... #sciart #fossils #paleontology

"Is this inspired by native American art?" Nope, it's inspired by commercial art from communist 60-80s Poland

All eyes on #3I/ATLAS ☄️ Our Mars Express & ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter will observe the comet around its closest approach to Mars on 3 October 2025, when 3I/ATLAS will be around 30 million km from the red planet. Stay tuned and follow esa.int/3IATLAS 🔭🧪

Congrats to @brennanstokkermans.bsky.social on the beautiful #paleoart of this new Jurassic lizard. Look at those horsetails! #sciart www.sci.news/paleontology...

Therizinosaurs are, without a doubt, some of the most interesting groups of theropod dinosaurs Here you have a selection of a few species that I reconstructed for the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum in Japan for their 25th Anniversary Special Exhibition #paleoart #sciart #dinosaurs

Con profunda tristeza, lamentamos compartir que nuestra querida fundadora, la Dra. Jane Goodall, ha fallecido por causas naturales hoy, a los 91 años de edad, en California, donde se encontraba en gira por los Estados Unidos.

Hasta siempre, querida Jane 💚 janegoodall.es/es/graciasja... #thankyouJane

It’s Spacetober again and today’s prompt is Launch, so here is my artwork, Shuttle Night Launch, acrylic on stretched canvas. #Spacetober

One mega constellation is already crowding orbit. Now more are coming. SpaceX's Starlink will soon be joined by thousands of satellites from the US and China – and space is about to get busy. What's going to happen? Story by me in Aerospace America aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/features/hea...

New dinosaur art is here ! This Sinornithosaurus swooped down on its prey, a female Caudipteryx zoui, and pinned it to the ground. #paleoart #sciart #sinornithosaurus #caudipteryx #digitalpainting #yixian #china #dinosaur

Xericeps is another fragmentary Kem Kem pterosaur, known from a distinctively curved lower beak, complete with interesting protrusions on the inside, much like Alanqa - this speculative reconstruction is based loosely on the modern openbill stork! Size comparison below ⬇️ #sciart #paleoart

More temporary palaeo exhibitions to check out in China, fossil fish in "Touch the Deep Ocean". At the Phoenix Centre, Beijing.

Absolutely stunning display as episode 34 of the Kilauea eruption came to life with dual lava fountains looking like wings of a Phoenix! Live here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqmp...

New #paleoart posted to #Patreon: woolly mammoths around a duck-filled lake. Accompanying the hi-res and WIPs of this image is a discussion about mammoth colour: the uniform red-brown mammoths of classic palaeoart seem unlikely now. Check it out at www.patreon.com/posts/night-... #fossil #sciart

The Triassic was a time of weird reptiles of every description. This is one of the more recent finds: Mirasaura from France. It's one of the drepanosaurs, an odd group of arboreal reptiles with superficially bird-like heads and, in some cases, equally superficially feather-like appendages.

I got back to my hotel and saw the foreground involved FALL FOLIAGE! In California! I had to stay up to finish the edit. Glad to live in this universe with you all ❤️

CNSA has released an image of Tianwen-2 in deep space using a robotic arm, giving us a proper look at the spacecraft and return capsule for delivering samples from near Earth asteroid 469219 Kamoʻoalewa. Tianwen-2 has been in space for 125 days, is 45 million km from Kamoʻoalewa.

My new color photographic map of Pluto is now online. Full resolution image version (~322Mpix) is available on Flickr www.flickr.com/photos/10958... PDF version (~73MB) is available here: drive.google.com/file/d/1EW-x... 🧵 1/5

I'll slowly be uploading all of my #art #tutorials here, but for now have my newest one! This one specifically covers deer/two-toed artiodactyla but can be applied to other animals too. See my replies to this post to see more!
