seriouslyscientific.comOur Moon & Map of all Landing Sites - Seriously Scientific

New project: a live 3D Moon showing tonight’s real phase, with every lunar landing pinned by its country’s flag. I think full screen with readout hidden and a little zoom in, gives the best immersion.. It’s a beta, so please poke at it and tell me what breaks or what can improve it! 🙏

I've been working more on this simuilation and I've now added other points of interest as well as all landing sites. It also incudesd a tour which works well with full screen..

seriouslyscientific.comDark Matter Signal? One Flash a Mile UndergroundA dark matter signal may have shown up in a xenon tank under South Dakota. One event, no explanation, and not a discovery. Read what the physicists found.

Diary of a WIMPy Particle! Are we about to write page 1 in a new chapter of Scientific Discovery? Daniel Akerib, a physicist on the LZ experiment, talks it through with Sean Carroll on Mindscape: open.spotify.com/episode/4k7M... And my follow up after listening:

Calling all TEACHERS & EDUCATORS - I've just added a new tool to the website. I know it’s working fine for my needs at the now, but I would really appreciate some feedback from any teachers out there who have a moment to check it out. Please suggest ANY ways you think I might improve it.. 🙏🙏🙏

Can somebody PLEASE tell Google that stars Don't TWINKLE in space! 😅✨ ;)

Super busy week with work and site updates, but always worth it! The live archive now has 102 feeds from almost every slight curve of the globe..🌍 The one Below is the world's longest running experiment. Wouldn't it be a bummer if it dripped before you clicked..😂 Have an awesome weekend everyone!

100 new puzzles have landed this week, so now there's over 200 opportunities to stop doom scrolling ;)

seriouslyscientific.comBill Nye Energy: Full Episode, Questions and LessonThe science of energy: how stored (potential) energy turns into motion (kinetic) energy, why energy is never destroyed, and how the world converts wind, water, coal and sunlight into electricity.

Bill Nye The Science Guy - Energy⚡⚡⚡ I've completely revised my remastering techniques for all my episodes from now on, so I hope I'm doing these shows even more justice now. Thanks for all the feedback folks, it only helps me get better.

For anyone curious, this is the timeline. Each episode now gets three separate upscales with different settings. I isolate the different types of footage, use the version that suits each one, blend them within shots where needed, so spend a lot more time in post production before the final output.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Noooo It's the Sun, the Space Station AND a plane! ☀️🛰️✈️ What began as an ordinary afternoon chasing sunspots over Czechia turned into a one in 30 million capture, all lined up in a single split-second frame. Awesome! 📷 Petr Horálek / NASA APOD

I bought 2 Khoi Guppies for my Walstad Method natural tank today and arrived home with 15... Happy Days! 🐟🐡🐠🦐

Colony of Leopard Lacewing caterpillars (Cethosia cyane) feeding on a passionflower vine. Watch how they freeze the moment I tap the stem.. This is so predators focus on the warning colours instead of movement. Classic aposematism, backed up by toxins the caterpillars pull from the host plant.

Pupation happens away from the feeding group. The pupa mimics a curled dead leaf, but with metallic gold patches on the cuticle. These are not pigment or secretion, they are structural: stacked layers of chitin acting as a thin-film reflector, the same physics that makes peacock feathers iridescent.

And finally the adult Leopard Lacewing.. There we're plenty flying around the garden today but rarely settled for long. So, here's a really good catpture from Flickr and some further reading on Wiki: Photo by Pedro Lastra: www.flickr.com/photos/lasti... More: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cethosi...

These caterpillars feed in groups and only eat passionflower vines (Passiflora). They pull toxic compounds out of the leaves and store them in their own bodies, which is what the loud colours are advertising to birds.

There's a sundial on Mars and Bill Nye helped design it. His father spent nearly four years in a Japanese prison camp with no watches, so he learned to read time off shadows. New biography: the sundial, the engineering career and the Disney lawsuit he unfortunately lost. 🪐🕰️

I’m not sure anyone could get away with so many song parodies on network TV today 📺 But Bill Nye's Soundtracks of Science absolutely nailed it 🎯.. In December 1995, Bill turned his studio into the NTV Music Awards! Can you name all the original songs and artists? 🎶

Amazing view of 'Totality' from San Millán de los Caballeros in northern Spain. The corona is golden rather than white because the Sun sat just around 10° above the horizon, so therefore, much more atmosphere to scatter the light..

Do you remember where you were on 11 August 1999 for the last total solar eclipse over Europe? 🌘 I do and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my entite life.. Even the scientist in me couldn't help but feel a little druidy as day turned to night and the troposphere froze. Yay Totality!

OK so I was repotting some plants and look what I found.. So I know what my wife wants me to do with them but I know what I'm going to do with them.. All I see here is a great opportunity for science class ;)

After some research the circumstantial evidence seems strong. Found in potted plants next to a coconut palm I'm growing here in Vietnam and the grub size fits. I hypothesise they're Oryctes rhinoceros, aka the coconut palm beetle - but with 39 species of Oryctes, there's only one way to find out.

I observed a pretty interesting survival tactic while I was preparing their new home. For the 20 minutes I was busy, they lay motionless on a ceramic plate in a defensive state known as thanatosis, aka playing dead. As soon as they sensed the soil, they were gone. Update in about 4 weeks I guess..

They're obviously some kind of scarab beetle larvae and by the looks and size of them, they're probably at stage three of their life cycle, ready to turn into a pupa. Now to give them a new home and wait for 3-4 weeks to find out which type..
