Interests in all manner of wildlife, history and ancient historical buildings. Puzzled by spaceship Earth as it spirals thru the universe…are we there yet? And don’t panic and carry a towel!

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures.

Tonight in amazing music: I'm a long-time fan of Norwegian jazz trumpeter Nils Peter Molvær. And I've been pushing everyone I know to listen to the Sweetheart, the best (Scandin)americana band you've never heard.

When I first saw Arp 184 I thought it was a small galaxy. It's actually as big as the Milky Way and Andromeda combined. The latest roundup of the week's astronomy news in Three Alpha is up 🧪🔭 three-alpha.space/p/the-strang...

Why does this galaxy look this way? Plus new measurements of Jupiter, the coldest exoplanet ever found, and jets and eruptions from supermassive black holes.

The more we learn about trees & forests we find nature is much more advanced than we realized & can be quite chatty. Older spruce trees remember past events, like an eclipse, telling younger trees not to worry. Kids, the sun will return!

Hours before a solar eclipse, spruce trees 'talk' to each other
A new study suggests trees in the forest can access ancient memories and "talk" to each other hours before a solar eclipse.

Unfortunately, however, Chailakhyan did not live to see his theory of a mobile, leaf-derived flowering factor being proven correct in 2007, with 4 simultaneous publications (2 each in @science.org & @currentbiology.bsky.social) showing the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) protein to be the mobile factor.

As I travel in Ghana I am reminded that the fight for freedom and justice is global — especially throughout history.
In 1900, Queen Mother Yaa Asantewaa was the only woman to lead the Asante people into war — rising to defend the sacred Golden Stool (the divine throne of kings) from the British.
