Mathematician, computer scientist, and WWII code breaker Alan Turing was born #OTD in 1912. His work helped establish the theoretical foundation for just about every modern computing device, making it possible (among other things) for you to read this. 🧪 💾 Image: The Guardian

Umm...

Kind of a catchy term, actually.

This is a piece of one of those busily decorated yellow 21st Dynasty coffins, with every bit of it covered in vignettes and protective symbols. It has no provenance, but it is now in the Ashmolean Museum (or at least it was when I photographed it in 2018). 🧵1/6 #Egyptology

Painting as tribute. Wonderful. Powerful.

This is possibly the most meaningful painting I've ever done, even though it is nearly 4 years old. My Dad always told me lost loved ones are the brightest stars in the night sky.💜 Happy birthday Dad, I miss you so much.💫

About 466 million years ago (long before the dinosaurs), our planet may have had rings like Saturn. 🧪

More than 200 light years away from Earth, the planet LTT 9779 b reflects 80 percent of the light that hits it due to clouds made of titanium molecules and silicate. 🧪

According to Plutarch, on 7 April c.331 BC, Alexander the Great founded the Egyptian city of Alexandria, which, became the site of his own tomb, home to the Ptolemaic dynasty, the famed Library, and the Pharos lighthouse; a bustling metropolis of high culture and higher drama. #Egyptology

✳ Are Khufu et al here? ✳ A connection between old and new eras was met by Pharaoh Senusret III who built both a pyramid (Dahshur) and rock cut tomb (Abydos). Why not the same for Dyn IV-XII (or more?). If we were to look at Abydos, the shaded area could be best case.

Our #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD is of a group of king penguins in the Falkland Islands, a bunch of parents, in fact, raising their chicks. I saw these guys for the first time in January 2018 with @grantshat.bsky.social and what a blast we had counting them and watching them just be penguins. 🧪🌍🦑🦉
