“What then is time? Provided that no one asks me, I know. If I want to explain it to an inquirer, I do not know.”

In an ominous ruined harbor, Saint Augustine of Hippo encounters a tiny child trying to empty the sea. Wonderfully chilling scene from 1623 by François de Nomé, whose day is today.

Playing around with a close-up B&W edit of the best footage I have ever captured on this Earth. Hoping compression doesn't prevent y'all from seeing the incredible rain of debris.

‘The Virgin and Child with Saints Louis and Margaret’ fantastic new acquisition at the National Gallery in London. Absolutely worth it. Just look at that fella.

Martin Parr (1952-2025) has passed away. He was the most recognizable name in contemporary photography, a former president of Magnum and an inspiration for millions. On this very sad occasion, I'm sharing with you some of his earlier, and a bit lesser known black&white work.

The birth of our solar system - at last, closing up the penultimate page of this mammoth chapter exploring the origin of the universe in all its swirls of different sorts... It's been a long trip. And there is, to be sure, a lot going on on this page :)
Onward!
#Nostos #Unflattening 2
A comics page in 30 (ok, technically 33) panels - arranged five wide by six tall. We see the birth of the solar system unfold - beginning with a gas cloud in space, which is then shocked into collapse by a supernova explosion far off. The gas collapses on itself and begins to swirl. We see it gather material into its center, which heats up - and a thin disk spreading outward - with rock close to it and ice and gas and rock spread farther out. (this was the first two tiers of panels). Third tier - we see bits of dust and rock and ice stick together, then get to bigger pieces and collide, and eventually turn into planetesimals. Next row, a bigger one of these collects tons of gas and ice to itself and becomes the first planet (Jupiter) and we see the others (and some that are no longer around) form. Fifth row - these planets clear remaining dust and rock from their orbital lanes, but still pretty chaotic. a panel split into four - showing in half the collision that turned Uranus on its side, and the other showing the collision that stripped Mercury of its outer layer. We also see diagrammatically how Jupiter and Saturn moved in closer to sun at some point and then moved back outward - which among other things caused Neptune and Uranus to switch orbits, and then for row 6 - trigged the late heavy bombardment where rocks and ice and gas are flung inward at the inner planets - devastating them - but also bringing gases included water. Finally, the planets reach the more or less current configuration. I drew Saturn with a ring, which it probably didn't have - but only so people knew what it was. I drew earth with one giant continent as it might've been - but you can't really tell anyhow, the drawing is too tiny. I would've put water on Mars but I felt that would confuse everyone.

Some stars speak not in light, but in radio. I just wrote about a newly discovered class of binary stars, what I call “radio polars”, first identified by Iris de Ruiter and her team. They were also explored by @astrobites.bsky.social in a recent article.

Reposted from ArchaeologyArt on Instagram Hands of the Oracle. Artist: Jon Eric Riis (American, born 1945) Date: 1999. Medium: Silk and metallic yarns with freshwater pearls and coral beads; tapestry weave; approx. 26 x 13 cm each. Collection: The Textile Museum, Washington DC, from the collection of Jerome and Deena Kaplan⁣ ⁣ Riis based this vision on a Filipino santo - a carved devotional figure - of Saint Lucy carrying her own eyes on a plate, a detail drawn from medieval legends that say she kept her sight even after the eyes were removed.⁣ Museum catalogues describe it soberly as a small tapestry in the shape of gloves, but online the same images circulate as fantasy gear.⁣

"I think of those landscapes now that we’re not there,

the spaces where we used to be.

Your presence as it shifts into abstraction

and distant thought now

the space between you and me and the lines that I draw."
