Six months-long exposure taken using a pinhole camera containing photographic paper. It tracked the Sun’s movement in the sky from winter to summer solstice. Each curve shows one day and stretches of cloudy days can be seen as dark patches. #solarcan 🔭🧪

This is a deep-sea isopod. Dr. Johanna Weston, a deep-ocean biologist and guest investigator at @whoi.edu, is confident this is Bathyopsurus nybelini, one of her favorite animals. Learn why via the YouTube caption: youtube.com/shorts/DenUj...

This is Penny. She found the perfect stick today and is determined to retrieve it. Hasn’t moved an inch so far, but her human didn't raise a quitter. 13/10 (IG: aussies_exploregon)

Done. It isn't colored the same as Jurassic Park, but I wanted it to be true to life. 🪶 🐣

Anyone else getting this thing now where some user will like 3 (always 3) random, recent posts of yours, and when you click on the user the top few posts are inevitably promoting an NSFW site of one kind or another? Not sure if these are bots or real accounts that have been compromised.

Another mesmerizing one, you get endless subtly different effect just by changing the starting theta and phi angles - I think this one was originally 67 and 76. We are seeing the shape looking straight down onto the XY plane, when rotated you find that it is a hockey-puck shaped disk.

A particularly beautiful spiral a new "checker" came up with

Ok this is a truly great tweet

I've become re-obsessed with my "number spirals" app (no AI! Just simple math), check out this one, link to explore yourself in alt text:

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

This is Molly. She was finally found a week after her human fell down a 180-foot waterfall while hiking together in New Zealand. Her human was badly injured and rescued by helicopter, but Molly was missing. A week later, Molly was found at the base of the waterfall and reunited with her human. 14/10

This is the delta in Jezero Crater, Mars, photographed from orbit. Photographed from orbit on 18 February 2021. Just up and right of the very centre of this image is a tiny group of white pixels. Open the image up, and see if you can spot them. Then open the next post to see what you've found.

This is a cliff on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. It's about 1 km tall. If you jumped from the top, it would take you 47 minutes to reach the bottom, and you'd probably be OK.

I like coming across vehicles like this as they don’t like right when they do there job but clearly they are built for purpose but just not something you see often. #reference

This photo was taken on the surface of an asteroid.

Here come my #LunarEclipse pics from earlier tonight. Imaged with the DSLR attached to the telescope (as my lens). These six are my best ones from the event. The clouds were ultra-annoying but I managed a few snaps when there were empty patches. The last total lunar eclipse until 2028! 🔭🌕

These first two show Earth’s curvature, as the Moon moves into Earth’s shadow (sorry, flatearthers). I really like the first one, as the Moon sits just above the dimly lit silver ridge of a cloud. The shadow makes it look 3D and SciFi-like. The second is behind some thinner clouds. #LunarEclipse

sometimes something bad happens where there are no malicious actors, no one is happy, and everyone gets the worst possible outcome they don't deserve. social media exists to strip such events of context so we can have clear winners and losers

yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests

This is so spot on
