My biro 🖊️ drawing of Alduin from Skyrim.
Drawn in 2017 on white A4 (8"x12") paper. The dark background areas were drawn in sharpie.
I used to draw in biro all the time, when I was a nipper, it's an underrated tool!

WOW!
An incredible discovery. The first ever image of a baby exoplanet embedded in the dust rings from which planets are forming around a star. Confirms the developing view of planet formation that we’ve never before seen in action.

Yet another mind-blowing and highly educational video by AlphaPhoenix, in which he builds a 2,000,000,000 FPS camera and uses it to watch light move. In his garage. 🤯
Seriously, just go watch all of his videos.
