Tomorrow comes.

I post popular science news and memes that I find interesting. I also write about work, video games, and life. Currently interested in Open Science and Citizen Science.

Приношу научно-популярные новости и мемы, которые мне кажутся интересными, пишу о работе, видеоиграх и просто о жизни. Текущие рабочие интересы: открытая наука, гражданская наука и научное волонтерство.

Always remember: we need to be kind, especially when we don't know what's going on.

The sun's come out, along with all the fisher-birds.

Photo of a tall, slender white bird standing in right-facing profile in the shadows of a blue lake inlet, eir long neck curved into a striking was and eir wings held close to eir body, feathered like sculpted alabaster. The bird, a great egret, is standing in the water that reaches up to the ruffled gathers where eir long, submerged legs meet eir body, a little silver fish caught in eir pointed, golden bill. The sun is coming out over the rocks just behind em, where a pair of gulls loiter and a coppery mallard loafs, napping.

🌊 Neptune's tiny inner moons may be fragments of much larger worlds.

JWST found hydrated minerals on their surfaces — materials that require liquid water interacting with rock. But these small, frozen moons couldn't have produced them themselves.

The evidence points to an ancient system of larger moons, potentially shattered after Triton arrived.

A Planetary Nebula from a 5.7 M⊙ Progenitor in a 90 Myr M31 Star Cluster: iopscience.iop.org/article/10. -> Extragalactic #PlanetaryNebula with Massive Progenitor Sheds Light on Stellar Evolution: aasnova.org/2026/09/16/extraga

Color composite image of the young open cluster AP 210, constructed from archival HST/ACS observations in F475W (blue), F625W+F658N (green), and F814W (red). The PN appears as a bright blue–green point source near the cluster center because of its strong [O iii], Hα, and [N ii] emission. The white circle indicates the on-sky diameter of a single Hectospec fiber.

Зачем играть правильно, если можно играть весело? ​:02smile:​

Соигрок застрял, не мог перепрыгнуть через пропасть сам. Логика: надо допрыгнуть до него и скастовать на него усиленный прыжок. Сердце: скастовать на него терновый хлыст и притянуть к себе.

Побеждает сердце, и фокус почти удается, но чуток не рассчитал расстояние, и соигрок падает в пропасть. Воскрешаю его свитком, дико гогоча.

В принципе, из ловушки его вытащили. ​:02smile:​

*
Пробежать кошкой мимо и сбросить дикий облик? А, может, пробегая цапнуть когтями соигрока за жопу? ​:02smile:​

*
Спокойно подождать, пока соигрок договорится? А, может, пойти воровать и убивать тех, с кем он договаривается, пока он занят и не видит?

Webb's View of M64
Image Credit: NASA, CSA, ESA, F. Belfiore (ESO), J. Lee (STScI), A. Leroy (OSU), and D. Thilker (JHU); Processing: G. Kober (NASA/Catholic University)

Explanation: Sometimes where Hubble finds darkness, Webb sees light. An example is today’s composite images of Messier 64 (M64), a nearby spiral galaxy of many names. The dark band of dust partially blocking its bright core earned it the moniker “the Black Eye Galaxy.” Webb’s Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) sees that dust, shown in red, as it absorbs and re-emits light from surrounding newborn stars. These young stars are embedded in pink star-forming regions in the Hubble-only image. M64’s inner and outer gas regions counter-rotate, creating regions of increased star formation where the two gas “currents” meet and compress. A merger between M64 and a smaller galaxy was likely the cause of the opposing motion of the outer gas. Spiral galaxies were once thought to have peaceful histories. M64 was key evidence that spiral galaxies, including the Milky Way, can and do experience mergers. Webb’s view of M64 will tell astronomers about the structure, motion, and composition of the galaxy’s dust and add context to the galaxy’s merger history and evolution.

Hubble and JWST image of M64. A massive spiral galaxy glows with a yellow core, surrounded by arms full of orange-brown dust and pink and blue patches of star formation. Framed by a haze of dark dust, the galaxy shines against black space dotted with a few stars.

Ученые из Великобритании, Германии и США выяснили, что шимпанзе наделяют кого-то агентностью, опираясь в основном на морфологию. В виртуальной среде они реагировали на соперников, которые выглядели как обезьяны, независимо от того, двигались те или нет. Когда обезьяноподобный соперник мешал испытуемым получить награду, они приближались к нему, стучали по монитору руками и гримасничали. При этом на геометрические тела — пирамиду и куб — шимпанзе почти не реагировали, даже если фигуры двигались.
