*If* Planet Nine exists and *if* we find it, I think it should be named Hecate, after the Graeco-Roman goddess of crossroads, boundaries, night and witchcraft 🔭🧪🏺

Tonight I decided to try something new. I managed to detect Exoplanet TOI 3714b transiting its host star using my 190MN scope and 2600MM camera. Totally blown away that this is possble from my back yard here in the UK. Transit took 1H 38mins and was about 5% in depth 🤯. #Astrophotography #exoplanet

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

My mini-haul from the second-hand bookshop at the Weald and Downland Living Museum, Sussex. Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Björk and trying to improve my Gaeilge, so I thought this was an apt selection 📚💙

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

My favourite space artist, do give him a follow #sciart 🔭
Each year near the start of Mars' southern winter warm air rises over Arsia Mons volcano forming ice and dust clouds. Sometimes this dust coalesces into a spiraling cloud that can be over 15 km high. This digital painting depicts one such dust spirals.#Sciart #space #astronomy #SolarSystem #Mars

Chromosome replication and cell division cycles are not synchronized in Staphylococcus aureus, with cells exhibiting two segregated origins of replication at the start of the cell cycle

Chromosome segregation dynamics during the cell cycle of Staphylococcus aureus - Nature Communications
Our understanding of chromosome organization and dynamics in spherical bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, remains limited. Here, the authors show that chromosome replication and cell division cycles are not synchronized in S. aureus, with cells exhibiting two segregated origins of replication at the start of the cell cycle.

From Antarctic eelpouts to African cichlids, the percomorph (literally “perch-like”) fishes have been a remarkable system for studying how genomic changes underpin evolution by natural selection 🐠🐟🧪
Excited to share this work, out today in MBE! In polar fishes, we found that antifreeze protein genes expanded in copy number at low temperatures and contracted in the deep sea, highlighting a role of depth and pressure in AFP evolution.
