NASA says: “Uranus is warmer than we thought. New computer modeling techniques revealed that Uranus generates internal heat. This is similar to our solar system’s other giant planets, like Jupiter or Neptune.”
This zoomed-in image of Uranus, captured by the Near-Infrared Camera on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope on Feb. 6, 2023, reveals stunning views of Uranus’ rings.

Brought the middle kid to #OSH25 he wanted to come with me and he likes airplanes. Understanding a 14 year old might get bored I was prepared to leave early if we needed to. However, what happened was OSH was like pouring gasoline on a smoldering fire. Photos are his.

I've been stalking bees lately because bee fur is feathery and it it's fun to show that. This is a bumblebee on a fence post and you can see the feathery fur structure near the shoulder. #inverts
A close crop of a bumblebee on a gray, weathered fence post.A close crop of the off-white fur near the bees shoulder. A close look shows that the fur is feathery in appearance.

The newly-fledged Powerful Owlet looking quite fierce this morning. Some Noisy Miners had been briefly bothering it. I couldn't see its mama, but she will have no doubt been somewhere close keeping an eye on it. #brisbane #birds #wildoz

I love my new Steller's jay children and I'm getting very close to decent pictures of them that aren't through a window. 📷🌿🪶

This is a total solar eclipse. But it's artificial. It was made by one spacecraft moving in front of the Sun relative to another—both part of ESA's new Proba-3 mission. This is an image taken during Proba-3's first artificial solar eclipse with its ASPIICS coronagraph instrument's green filter.

There have been THREE velvet worm (Onychophora) posts in the last day or so, requiring a megathread. I'll add one of their coolest fossils first, from when they were exclusively marine, drawn by @franzanth.bsky.social for @arthropoda-curator.bsky.social (see next 3 skeets in thread...) 🧪
Franz Anthony's drawing of Facivermis, a strange stem group onychophoran which has elongate, feathery anterior appendages for filter feeding. It is in a tube embedded in the sediment and has a blobby bit at the posterior end. A second individual is shown hiding in its tube, with only the feathery appendages visible

It is a weird feeling when a family member dies and at their funeral is literally hundreds of people because they were a hero firefighter, and you realize that it would be a stretch if a dozen people will show up to yours when it is time.
