These historic gold rings are based on ancient astronomical instruments called armillary spheres, which emerged from the theory that everything in the cosmos revolved around Earth.

What Do Astronomy and Jewelry Have in Common? In the Late Renaissance, Look to the Stars

Armillary rings emerged in the 16th and 17th centuries during the birth of the scientific revolution and rise of astronomy studies.

Liked "Color Engineering" at www.chartography.net/p/color-engi... by @infowetrust.com. I'd long known about the hue-saturation-lightness (HSV) model. But this post took me further in applying it for *collections* of colours: analysing the palette of a design, or choosing effective combination onself

Talking image-text relations in class today - great opportunity to share Ibn Al-Rabin's seminal “Le Verbe Prophétique” alongside the always brilliant @tomgauld.bsky.social to demonstrate how the seemingly simple can be bewilderingly complex - things that can only be done in comics!!

A six panel comic of a man and a woman where their word balloons are actually other panels (there are no words) indicating future actions and explaining why they did what they did.

a three panel comic about Søren Kierkegaard in which the text of the man reads backwards and the dog forwards "Life can only be understood backwards" and the dog "but it must be lived forwards"
