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.

Timeline showing a Bill Nye the Science Guy episode being remastered by Seriously Scientific. Three full-length 4K upscales are stacked: the sharp master on the bottom track in teal, a softer intermediate pass above in purple, and a gentle vanilla pass on top in yellow, cut in shot by shot where the master fails. Object masks blend passes within single shots. Adjustment layers add grain, and coloured markers flag problem shots. Each source was deinterlaced with QTGMC and test-rendered before upscaling.

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

Telephoto photo of the Sun as a large golden-yellow disk on a black sky, cropped at the right and bottom edges. A commercial airplane crosses the upper left of the disk as a huge dark silhouette, angled diagonally with wings and tail clearly outlined but slightly soft, as the lens was focused at infinity. A faint blurred plume trails behind it. Just below its tail, a tiny dark H-shaped speck with solar panels is the International Space Station. Small dark sunspots dot the disk: a line of spots across the middle and a larger cluster lower down. Sunspots are cooler regions where concentrated magnetic fields suppress the convection carrying heat to the surface. The ISS orbits about 400 km up and crossed the Sun in about a second; the plane flew roughly 10 km up, so it looks far larger even though the station's 109-metre span is wider than an airliner's wings. Labels read: Sun and the Sunspots, Plane, International Space Station.

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...

Adult Leopard Lacewing butterfly (Cethosia cyane) with wings fully spread, perched on small yellow flowers. The upper wing surfaces are bright orange across the central area, marked with small black spots. Broad black bands run along the outer margins of all four wings, filled with an intricate pattern of white scalloped lines and dots that give the species its "lacewing" common name. Each forewing tip carries a diagonal white patch bordered by black. The body is dark, the antennae slender and club-tipped. Wingspan roughly 8 centimetres. This is a male; females are paler with more extensive black on the forewings. Species ranges from India across mainland Southeast Asia to southern China, and has recently expanded into the Malay Peninsula and Singapore. The adults feed on nectar and, like the caterpillars, carry cyanogenic compounds that make them unpalatable to birds.

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.

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.

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.

At first glance this image looks like a soft blend of light, until you realise that every single dot no matter how far you zoom in is an entire galaxy; over 45,000 in total.. Mind Blown! 🤯 Credit: JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES)

A mind blowing deep space view captured by the James Webb Space Telescope across the GOODS-South field. At first glance the scene appears as a gentle dusting of light against the black void, but looking closer reveals that almost every single point of light is an entire galaxy containing billions of stars. Over 45,000 individual galaxies populate the frame. In the foreground and midground, larger spiral galaxies display glowing golden and white cores with delicate, swirling arms, while luminous elliptical galaxies appear as smooth, bright spheres of starlight. Scattered throughout the vast expanse and stretching into the deepest background are thousands of faint, ancient galaxies appearing as tiny reddish-orange and crimson dots, streaks, and subtle smudges. The dense clustering and layered cosmic perspective create an immense sense of three-dimensional depth, revealing the sheer scale of the early cosmos.

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..

I hear you, looks impressive right. 1m per pixel is the official number though. And to be honest I think the 3m rover does look more like dots that's an actual machine. Maybe if we didn't know what it was, it would look less impressive.

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..

💥Seriously🚀Scientific💥 @seriouslysci.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

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.

💥Seriously🚀Scientific💥 @seriouslysci.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

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..

Side-by-side size comparison of two scarab beetle grubs found in garden potting soil, laid next to a yellow tape measure for scale. The upper grub is clean, pale cream-colored, and curled tightly, measuring close to 8 centimeters, a size typical of a mature Dynastinae rhinoceros beetle larva such as Oryctes rhinoceros. The lower grub is a similar size but coated in dark soil, giving it a rougher, darker appearance, making the texture difference between a freshly exposed grub and one still crusted with dirt easy to compare.

2 scarab beetle grubs in their temporary rearing setup: a white ceramic plate holding loose, chunky potting mix with visible bark, coconut coir, and perlite. The grub's cream-colored head and front legs poke out at the edge of the soil while the rest of its body stays buried. A small black plant pot sits blurred in the background, part of the coconut palm growing setup this grub was found near, on a wooden table.

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 ;)

Macro close-up of a scarab beetle grub, likely Oryctes rhinoceros (the coconut rhinoceros beetle), photographed in Vietnam. It shows the classic C-shaped "white grub" body plan common across the rhinoceros beetle subfamily Dynastinae. The cream-colored, semi-translucent skin reveals a row of brown spiracles along each side, three pairs of short legs clustered near the reddish-brown head capsule, and visible mandibles. A yellow tape measure alongside it reads roughly 8 to 9 centimeters, suggesting a large, likely third-instar larva nearing pupation. A second, soil-crusted grub sits just out of frame in the lower left.

A large scarab beetle grub, a suspected coconut rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) larva, uncovered while repotting plants in a home garden in Vietnam. The pale, C-shaped grub rests at the edge of a white ceramic dish filled with fresh potting mix, its cream-colored body and small legs visible against the dark, chunky soil. A black plant pot sits blurred in the background on a wooden garden table, part of the coconut palm setup the grub was found growing near, a detail that lines up with this species' habit of breeding in decaying organic matter close to palm trees.
