Today the original artwork for 'Time Out,' by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, sold at auction for a record-breaking $576K. Its artist and designer, S. Neil Fujita, is part of a brilliant new exhibition at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. Here’s a piece I just wrote about him, and the show.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

On the 20th anniversary of Pluto's demotion as a planet (ok, a day late), I made a little painting of the little guy. Watercolour, gouache, and ink on paper. 🔭 #SciArt 🔭

The planet Pluto with a black background filled with stars, and some shimmery dunes at the bottom.

A shrub with flowers that are yellow at the bottom and become a pinkish burgundy hue at the top. The shape of the petals resembles a flame.

found out that one of the hudson river school painters -- frederic edwin church -- painted what is probably one of the best depictions of a meteor precession because he saw it from his yard in 1860. this is the same thing that Walt Whitman wrote "Year of Meteors, 1859-1860" about, probably.

Ultraviolet Saturn (NASA, Hubble, 2003) - From NASA Marshall Space Flight Center - flic.kr/p/8LuCdh

This is an archive image from 2003, part of our "Think Pink" gallery, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month: www.flickr.com/photos/28634332@N05/sets/72157625045060125/
__________________________________________________________

One of a series, this ultraviolet image of Saturn was taken when the planet's rings were at their maximum tilt of 27 degrees toward Earth. Saturn experiences seasonal tilts away from and toward the sun, much the same way Earth does. This happens over the course of its 29.5-year orbit. Every 30 years, Earth observers can catch their best glimpse of Saturn's South Pole and the southern side of the planet's rings.

Between March and April 2003, researchers took full advantage to study the gas giant at maximum tilt, using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to capture detailed images of Saturn's Southern Hemisphere and the southern face of its rings.

Spotted at The Eagle, Cambridge: a NASA sticker and one for the mission Ares V which was planned to launch in 2019 but was cancelled in 2010. Ares V was part of the Constellation Program, which had among other activities, the ultimate goal of a crewed flight to Mars 🚀🧪

A wall in a pub with several stickers and a lot of writing in Sharpie markers. Of note are the NASA stickers further explained in the original post.

Cover of the day: The Severn Bridge. There is no date on this, and it appears to have been published privately to mark the completion of works - so that places it just after 1966.

The title is “The Severn Bridge” and it features a black outline sketch of one of the bridge’s towers on a red background.

"Only 1.5% of the older people with reduced mobility in our study – just 17 out of 1,110 participants who had an average age of 77 – could cross the road faster than the 1.2 metres per second walking speed that is programmed into many UK pedestrian crossings."

Cities aren’t built for older people – our study shows many can’t walk fast enough to beat a pedestrian crossing

Many older people with reduced mobility say they feel ‘hurried’, ‘rushed’ and ‘unsafe" when walking around their city.

London Zoo. Mosaic by Tessa Hunkin of the Hackney Mosaic Project 💚

Mosaic of squirrel monkeys. There are three of them facing the viewer in an upper
branch; below them, there is another one carrying a sleepy baby monkey on its back. The background is a light, minty green and there are leaves in various shades of green, ochre, and red. All of this is framed in black, red, and gold mosaics.
