Happy 43rd Birthday to Mr Matt Smith, who played the #11thDoctor on #DoctorWho!

A caricature of Matt Smith in his role as the 11th Doctor on Doctor Who. He is a skinny young man wearing big boots, dark trousers with suspenders, a jacket, a bow tie, and a fez. He is holding his sonic screwdriver aloft in his left hand (our right).

Red Spider Nebula, caught by Webb 🕸️

🕷️ Planetary nebulae like this cosmic creepy-crawly form when stars like the Sun reach the end of their lives, balloon into cool red giants & shed their outer layers 👉 www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...
🧪 🔭

A large planetary nebula. The nebula’s central star is hidden by a blotchy pinkish cloud of dust. A strong red light radiates from this area, illuminating the nearby dust. Two large loops extend diagonally away from the centre, formed of thin ridges of molecular gas, here coloured blue. A huge number of bright, whitish stars cover the background, also easily visible through the thin dust layers. Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, J. H. Kastner (Rochester Institute of Technology)

New findings in Science offer insights into Wyoming’s “dinosaur mummies,” revealing that the stunningly preserved skin, spikes, and hooves of duck-billed dinosaurs are not fossilized flesh at all, but delicate clay molds formed by microbes as the creatures decayed. https://scim.ag/47DYjBi

Mummy of the juvenile duck-billed dinosaur Edmontosaurus annectens preserved as a dried carcass resting on its ribcage some 66 million years ago. Large areas of scaly, wrinkled skin and a tall fleshy crest over its back were preserved as in a thin layer of clay over its fossilized skeleton.

Faint galaxies in the Zone of Avoidance revealed by JWST/NIRCam

by José Luis Nilo Castellón and co-authors
arxiv.org/abs/2510.12488 🧪🔭

This is Figure 8 of the paper, with caption reading as follows. Composite near-infrared view of the NGC 3324 region as observed by JWST/NIRCam. The color image was constructed using the F090W (blue), F200W (green), and F444W (red) filters. The central panel displays the full field, revealing complex filamentary structures of ionized gas and embedded stars. The top and bottom rows show the eight brightest galaxies identified in the field, extracted from the same composite image and labeled 1 through 8 from top left to bottom right. Each stamp contains a white square of 5′′ × 5′′ drawn for spatial reference. The figure is oriented in detector-native X/Y coordinates; North is rotated 102° counterclockwise from vertical.

SWAN, Swan, Eagle

Comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) sports a greenish coma and fainter tail, seen against congeries of stars and dusty interstellar clouds in this 7-degree-wide telescopic field of view from October 17. On that date, the new visitor to the inner Solar System obligingly posed with two other celestial birds seen toward the centre of our Milky Way. Messier 16, near the bottom of the frame, and Messier 17 are also known to deep skywatchers as the Eagle and the Swan nebulae. While the comet coma's greenish glow recorded in the image is due to diatomic carbon gas fluorescing in sunlight, reddish hues seen in the nebulae, star forming regions some 5,000 light-years distant, are characteristic of ionized hydrogen gas. Comet SWAN is outbound now but still a good comet for binoculars and small telescopes that can look close to the southern horizon in the northern hemisphere's early evening skies. C/2025 R2 (SWAN) was closest to our fair planet on October 20, a mere 2.2 light-minutes away.

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon).

Nikon D850, Nikkor 180mm AI-S, f/4, ISO 200, 120 sec.

The original had numerous satellite tracks so I used the Remove tool in Photoshop and had it remove "wires and cables" and it worked--but did take out a few stars as well.

🦕 Einiosaurus (~74 Ma)
A ceratopsian from the Late Cretaceous that lived in the northwest of North America.

🐬 Rhomaleosaurus (~200 Ma)
A member of the pliosaur family, this marine predator hunted bony fish and wasn’t afraid to attack sharks.

#SciArt #Paleoart #art

De la famille des pliosaures, ce prédateur marin s'attaquait aux poissons osseux et n'hésitait pas à s'en prendre aux requins. Il a vécu au Jurassique inférieur de l'Hettangien au Pliensbachien.

Un cératopsien du Crétacé supérieur ayant vécu au nord-ouest de l'Amérique du Nord. Sa corne nasale s'étire vers le bas. Il se nourrissait de plantes coriaces grâce à son bec.

Edmontosaurus.

Redrawn from February 2024.

One of the Hell Creek Formation's largest herbivorous dinosaurs, as they're commonly the largest hadrosaurid thriving in the swamps of Hell Creek.

A male Edmontosaurus idly standing in a Hell Creek environment, with the trees and plants representing the swamp home of their time at the very end of the Cretaceous period.

I wasn't satisfied with the previous art of the hadrosaurid of the late Cretaceous of North America, but nonetheless, I took my time wisely to get the colors settled and the background more life to it.

📷 This NASA/ESA #Hubble Space Telescope image features spiral galaxy NGC 3370, home to two kinds of objects prized by astronomers for their usefulness in determining distances to faraway galaxies: Cepheid variable stars and Type Ia supernovae 🧪🔭
esahubble.org/images/potw2... @stsci.edu

A spiral galaxy occupies most of the image. It is a slightly tilted disc of stars, yellow-white in the centre and blue in the outskirts, showing light from different stars in the galaxy. Its spiral arms curl outwards from the centre, speckled with blue star clusters. Dark reddish threads of dust swirl around the galaxy’s centre. The backdrop is four medium-sized and many small, distant galaxies on a black background.

A 25x30s image captured 24 hours ago with an Askar SQA55 imaging rig (skymaps.com/ir0/). It shows comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) near the Eagle Nebula (M16). The green glow of the comet's coma contrasts beautifully with the pink colour of the nebula. 🔭 🧪

A telescopic photograph showing a star-filled region of the Milky Way galaxy. Comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN) appears like a ball of glowing green gas. Nearby is the famous Eagle Nebula (aka Messier 16) glowing the pale pink colour of an emission nebula. The image was taken using a small telescope (skymaps.com/ir0/) on 18 October 2025 from a dark sky site in South Australia. Image credit: Kym Thalassoudis
