Ukraine’s National Flower 🌻

🚌On the bus to Kharkiv, passing field after field of late August sunflowers—past bloom, but still standing. They remain a symbol of beauty and resilience.

Still painting dark forests~

#TraditionalArt#Gouache#Painting#LandscapeArt#Forest#Nature #mosstodon

A photo of an open sketchbook, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by branches, hag stones, palo santo, and leaves for decoration. The left side of the sketchbook spread shows two gouache paintings, the top (and larger) one featuring a misty conifer forest with mossy ground and bright white back lighting. The bottom one shows pale blue light filtering through a dark conifer forest. The right side also features two gouache paintings; the top one of a very misty, monochrome conifer forest, and the bottom one of a dark conifer forest with mossy ground and pale sunlight coming in from the left.

I'm looking away from our world for a moment.

I'm looking at the little dot in this image.

It's a newborn planet, 5 times the mass of Jupiter, carving a path through the disk of dust around its star. This is the first time we've seen the process clearly.

We are watching a new planet come into the cosmos.

What appears to be a ripple in space, is today’s Picture of the Week depicting a newborn planet eating its way through its dusty cradle as it orbits its host star. This image, taken with ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, is the first clear detection of a baby planet in a disc with multiple rings. These so-called protoplanetary discs surround young stars and appear as disc-shaped structures of gas and dust, often with rings like the one in this image. They are the birthplace of planets, and the rings are thought to indicate the presence of (hungry) planets in the disc. Initially, little particles in the spinning disc begin to accumulate and grow as gravity takes over, stealing more material from the native disc until they evolve into embryo planets.

Southern Emerald-Toucanet


We were hiking along a trail in the El Dorado Nature Reserve when I noticed the weird shape of a tree trunk from the corner of my eye. Since I had learned to point my camera at everything weird, this toucanet looking out of a tree cavity greeted me through the viewfinder.

Planet WISPIT 2b is about 5 million years old, 1/1000th the age of our solar system. Relative to a human lifetime, it's a two-week-old infant.

If you want to go deep: The full paper about this newborn planet is available online.
