Apparently today is Ctenophore Day?! Well enjoy it everyone! #MarineLife

FUN FACT 🤓 did u know that #ctenophores have a subepithelial syncytial nerve net (see picture, in orange) running all over their body? Neurons are connected to each other not only through synapses, but also physically #SciComm

4 October (today) is International Observe the Moon night!

It's super easy to do - just head out and look up at our celestial companion who has been with us for nearly all of our time. Without it, our world would be very different.

*There's a whole other world that just hangs in our sky for us*

International Observe the Moon Night

Join NASA and lunar observers around the world in a global celebration of the Moon.

Glow Worm Glass -Nessa Dalglish @nessa1.bsky.social · 19d

This one was meant to be a smaller panel but it had other ideas! It needed something else and I found just the right piece of glass to add to match the rays of sunlight.
I hope you like it!

Naphrys pulex, the flea jumping spider, in bronze and black glass, done at last! He is a good doggie. #sciart #invertebrate

A large bronze jumping spider with black glass, eyes perched on my open hand over a wooden table top. The sculpture is highly detailed, with each hair/seta on the spider individually sculpted.

A flat lay of the parts list for the bronze spider on a white background. In addition to the large, shiny bronze parts, there is an arrangement of eight black glass eyes, along with five nuts and bolts used to hold the sculpture together.

Street Art Utopia @streetartutopia.com · Sep 1

Urban walls, sidewalks, and even utility meters are the unlikely canvases behind this clever collection of genius street art. From an illusion of a zebra being striped to a sidewalk creature with a real rock for a head, these eight works turn... 👇

Street art sticker of the character E.T. placed on a stone wall, cleverly aligned with a red metal fire hose fixture so that the two circular outlets resemble E.T.’s large eyes. The setup transforms the fixture into the alien’s head, while the drawn body shows his wrinkled skin, long arms, and glowing finger.
