I realized that my name was getting mixed up a lot with another artist that created their account after my own, so I went ahead and just changed my account to a handle I go by on other sites and places now a days. Don't be alarmed I swear I am a friendly ghost!

“Three sea spider species — C. tasmanica, C. Minor and another without bioluminescence — also fluoresced in green when Mallefet shone ultraviolet and blue light on them” #scicomm #bioluminescence #fluorescence #sensoryecology #seaspider #abyss www.sciencenews.org/article/deep... 🧪 🦑 🐙

These deep-sea spiders give off an otherworldly glow

An expedition of a deep-sea trench near Australia uncovered the eerie sea spider specimens, whose glow may have been chronicled in 19th century documents.

So why is that vampire bat on a treadmill? To better understand how they're such spooky little guys, and that requires understanding their unique metabolism, genetic structure & physiology. And how they act at the gym, too, I guess? 🦇🧪 (📷: Cincinnati Zoo)

To celebrate Spooky Season, let's learn why this vampire bat is running on a treadmill. The three species of vampire bats are the only known mammals to be obligate hemophages: 100% of their calories come from blood. The Common Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus) prefers mammals... (📷: Giulia Rossi)

#PPOD: Roman has opened its eyes! These fuzzy rings are the first photons of starlight captured by the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s 300-megapixel Wide Field Instrument. And yes, they’re supposed to look like that—for now. 🧪 🔭

This test image captures the very first photons of starlight to reach the Wide Field Instrument on NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Roman’s primary science instrument has opened its eyes to the universe for the first time, revealing a sea of out-of-focus stars, each spread out over many thousands of pixels. The image, which zooms into one detector and zooms again to a single star in the insets, offers a baseline the Roman team will work from to align the telescope’s optics and tune the focus.

so this one has me really excited 🦑🧪 schmidt saw a planctoteuthis during an unbroadcast portion of one of its dives this expedition and it is - WEIRD - the arms look like they have a bit of a keel, the tentacles are coiled up, and there are weird fleshy filaments on its head.

a slightly translucent red squid oriented horizontally, its right side facing us directly. its arms are loosely floating in front of it, with two tentacles at the bottom that are coiled up like a spring. the head of the squid has numerous translucent fleshy raised filaments extending beyond the mantle fin is a secondary tail-like structure composed of a shaft nearly as long as the rest of the squid with a line of extremely fine filaments wrapping around it in a helix. there are also a number of much longer, very thin filaments extending messily off of the tail.
