JWST HAS IDENTIFIED THE EARLIEST SUPERNOVA TO DATE!! IT EXPLODED WHEN THE UNIVERSE WAS ONLY 730 MILLION YEARS OLD! ✨💥
Webb image shows hundreds of galaxies of all shapes and sizes against the black background of space. Toward the center-left is a large white spiral galaxy that is almost face-on. To the right of this is a large box, which zooms in on an area at top right. Within the box is a faint red dot at the center, with the label GRB 250314A.

The Kem Kem is home to a few basal snakes (with little baby legs!), mostly known from vertebrae. Most are quite small, but I've chosen two of the potentially larger ones - the terrestrial Norisophis, and the aquatic Simoliophis.

Size comparison below ⬇️

the writing is going slow so I am digging through fossilized phone Notes and finding forgotten poems; here's one I just dug up:
My Grandmother's Piano Rarely played since she lost her hearing. As if hibernating, it grows a pelt of dust. Still, the music it emits is sweet: the creaking ship of its glossy bench, the C-sharp of its fallboard's spruce. A child sitting there tastes a coin on their tongue. The 90-year-old child who finds a lone, low E, and with its one working headlight Night's blue convertible pulls onto the drive.

“While Sleeping”

Look closely. You may see neuron trees and neurotransmitter constellations. ✨

#artadventcalendar #sciart #printmaking #neurons #neuroart
Black and white intaglio spit-bite aquatint print of an intimate night sky looking over the ocean with neuron trees and a sky full of stars and neurotransmitter constellations. In an edition of 10. by Kindra Crick Neurotransmitter acetylcholine as a constellation rising in the night sky with serotonin diminished and setting on the horizon as in the stage of sleep called REM. REM sleep is when your #dreams are most vivid and the mind is highly active while your body is paralyzed; except your eyes, which are in rapid motion.

Day 8 #ArtAdventCalendar • Everyone seems to love this #SciArt #anatomy #embroidery, she breathed (2018). It appears on the cover of the anthology Sharp Notions arsenalpulp.com/Books/S/Shar...
An embroidery on a pale natural linen. There is a bone white diagram of a vocal apparatus, trachea, and bronchi/lungs. In between the branches of the bronchioles are small words embroidered in cursive in thin burgundy thread. They read: she breathed. Inhaled. exhaled. she knew. that breathing. was beauty. was the way. inside. to outside. when her breath. tightened. she found. ways. to soften. be still. to allow that. in. of the out. breath. to be. the. way through. she found the throughline. somehow. it. also found her. still. and   breathing. deeply. each day was. new. each breath. a. different. path. always. through her. and. throughout her. such a. simple. thing, breath. such a journey. through. trees. and. branches. how the body knows. to still. itself. if we learn how. to. listen deeply.

Steep a cup of tea and sit for a while with "You Cannot Help but Bloom" by @speculativekane.bsky.social. Consider, what (and who) makes you feel lighter, greener, freer? Reach out with the tendrils of your heart and let it blossom.

This isn’t her teahouse anymore. It’s yours. The warm funk of old-fashioned pu-erh and oolong has faded beneath the aromatic orange blossom of your new house blend.

I don't know where Schubart got off calling this species Stylodesmus horridus, because this little millipede looks cool as HECK. Specimen is from Mt. Nimba in South Africa (millibase.org/aphia.php?p=...).
Figure from scientific paper showing lateral and dorsal photos of the millipede Stylodesmus horridus. In the top image, the emillipede is covered in brown soil particles. In the middle image, the millipede looks to have been washed, showing thin tendril-looking structures coming off the top and side of its body. The lower images are illustrations of the millipede in a head on and lateral view and the gonopods, which have two main branches surrounded by the gonopod aperture.

Ghost pipes. 12 x12 in, water soluble encaustic on black prepped wood board. #artadventcalendar I actually saw the bee pollinating the flowers. It's easy to forget they are flowers.

#bloomsky #botanicalart
Rising from the black background is a cluster of pale ghost pipe flowers. White with a blush of pink and blue shadows the flowers are merely stalks with their heads hung like bells. A bee hovers nearby.
