Have a nice Sunday.

Combination of Ha data and xmm data to reconstruct emission of NGC 6992. Nice what you can do with your own collected data. #Astrophotography github.com/marcelbtec/P...

Here's a talk that's quite different from ones I've given before, although it has connections to everything I often talk about, presented at #alife2025: thoughtforms.life/meet-a-new-s... (downloadable slides link there too). 🧪

Our new paper introduces Tangential Action Spaces (TAS), a geometric framework for understanding how embodied agents translate goals into physical actions. arxiv.org/abs/2509.03399

Experimenting with some of my astrophotos. Here is one. Sharpless sh2-119. Removed almost all stars and gave the nebula more breathing space and depth. #Astrophotography

Sharpless 119, is a large patch of emission in the constellation Cygnus and lies some 2200 light years away. It’s only 2-3 degrees away from the North American and Pelican Nebulae, so is often overlooked. #Astrophotography #Astrophoto #Photo

Tonight dancing with the stars ✨

The fact that I get highly polarized reviews (paper submission) for a new idea tells me: I am on to something! I’ll continue to work even harder on that idea. #science

The Western Veil Nebula NGC 6960 ✨ Capturing ancient stellar violence in the constellation Cygnus! This shows the aftermath of a massive star that exploded over 20,000 years ago. Part of a larger mosaic project to capture the entire Cygnus Loop! 🌌 #Astrophotography #veilnebula

My shot of the incredible Veil Nebula! ✨ It's the ghostly remnant of a star that exploded thousands of years ago. So much beauty in our universe. #VeilNebula #Astrophotography #Space #Nebula #DeepSky #Cosmos #Stars #Telescope #Astrophoto

Getting ready to connect to the universe. #Astrophotography

Over synchronisation in complex networks. #complexnetworks www.tangential.ch/experiments/...

My latest experiment explores a somewhat different approach to PID control. By integrating neural networks, the system can dynamically adapt to changing conditions for improved performance. Learn more about the underlying concepts in the linked article. #AI www.tangential.ch/experiments/...

#ALife. Submitted yesterday. Let’s see.

Eigenvalues go crazy.

Happy Friday! Here is a shiny new update for you. 🎊🎊 Our LaTex template just dropped! 🎊🎊 You can find it at 2025.alife.org This template applies for Full Papers (≤ 8pages) & Summaries (≤ 3 pages) Please prepare submissions using the template for a smooth submission process. #ALIFE #ALIFE2025

Weekend. Time for reflection. What can we know? It’s one thing to see my images on a screen. It’s another thing to see it tangible on a print out (NGC 7000). The universe is awesome. Have a nice weekend. #reflections #Astrophotography

After falling into a rabbit hole of numerical instabilities in my simulations, I finally found a way out. What an awful journey for the last few months. Peace now! Have a lovely evening.

Early career researchers, tech enthusiasts, students, and people with half-baked ideas are especially encouraged to join! DM me to sign up!

Have a nice weekend. Time for reflection. #moon #astrophotography

How do biological systems achieve adaptability and resilience with simple, local interactions and no central control?Together with Michael Levin we explore these processes in regeneration, offering insights that could inspire AI systems to become more robust and flexible. medium.com/@marcelblatt...

Save the date! The annual #Conference on #ArtificialLife - #ALIFE2025 will take place in the heart of Kyoto, Japan, from 6-10 October 2025. The conference logo, official website launch, and more details coming soon!

Seagull Nebula is available to members. ~62GB of full frame mono 3nm SHO data! I Can't wait to see what people are able to process with this data set! Some Example SHO Subs below. 🔭

Good morning peeps. Have a good start to the day.

Pleiades (part of). #astrophotography

Enlightened #Tree

During my night walk with our doggies. Saturn. The universe is beautiful. #astrophotography

Symmetry. #patterns #bohemianmatrix

Trees instead of stars. This time.

🌟 Taking a break from AI - Let's appreciate the natural beauty of pattern formation! Take a look at: patternsyms.vercel.app No AI, just pure physics and biology at work. #ComplexSystems #Science #PatternFormation #Emergence #NaturalPatterns #AILife

#Astrophotography Community. Does Does somebody possess a Seestar s50? And if yes, what is your experience?

15 Mio. eigenvalues plotted in the complex plane. A,B are drawn from uniform distributions (-3,3). base pattern=[-1j,0,1] #bohemianmatrix Math is great.

The universe is great! Bode galaxy with some friends hanging around there. From my backyard earlier this year. #astrophotography

The Astronomy feeds are looking for more moderators! 🔭 Please consider signing up if you'd like to help sustain the health of our community here, especially while Bluesky grows. Apply below: We also could benefit from anyone willing to help with development - DM @emily.space if you'd like to!

#mathematics Looking for suggestions: -pointers to currently working or classic mathematicians who are explicitly Platonists (talk about discovering, not inventing, mathematical patterns) -favorite examples of cool facts of mathematics that "just hold" (bonus points for biology relevance)

Looks like a drama.

Start using Bluesky for my #astrophotogrphy. Hope to get in the community here.

This scatter plot shows one million eigenvalues in the complex plane. Eigenvalues are sampled from an ensemble of special matrices. Stay tuned for a fantastic image gallery with stunning structures.

Is there some work in the #AI community related to what is known as 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 in neuroscience? #brain #neuroscience

Enjoy nature!

Have a lovely evening. Don’t forget to there is so much beauty here. We are star dust.
