An early morning visitor. Think it flew in while I had the windows open last night. Description in alt-text.

A moth sits still on the left corner of a wide monitor. It is light brown in color with patterns of a dead leaf. You also see three small prominent black spots on each of its wings. On the monitor, you see the fediverse site open.


What is "normal" anyway?

Astronomers have found multi-planet systems around a number of nearby stars, but none that's much like our own. They're not a lot like each other, either.

We still don't know what a normal planetary system looks like, or if there even is such a thing.

We highlight the disparate architectures of the highest-known multiplicity planetary systems, as well as a few systems similar to TOI-1136. We highlight that the candidate seventh planet in TOI-1136 does not have a confidently detected orbital distance. Planet and stellar radii are scaled for comparison to other systems, though we emphasize that the planet-star size is not to scale. None of the systems exhibits a clear analog to any of the others, and all have the potential for very interesting, future study. — UC Irvine



#photography #nature #Abeille
La loi de la physique dit que l'abeille ne peut pas voler, le principe de l'aérodynamique dit que son envergure est trop petite pour maintenir son énorme corps en vol, mais l'abeille ne le sait pas. Il ne sait rien ni en physique ni en logique, et en tout cas il vole.
C'est quelque chose que nous pouvons tous faire, voler et gagner à tout moment face à n'importe quelle difficulté et dans n'importe quelle situation, peu importe ce qu'ils disent.
Soyons des abeilles, peu importe la taille de nos ailes, décollons et profitons du pollen de la vie.
....
Hissam.


Young marmot, last year somewhere in Switzerland. We spent the night nearby, and were planning to shoot the Milky Way in the night. Unfortunately, the night turned out cloudy, so no luck there! But the luck returned in the morning, with a family of young marmots frolicking around.

The sky is blue with white clouds with some touches of light pink on them.


I love seeing the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly in my backyard and the local gardens.

While researching I discovered that it was designated the state butterfly in 2012 and can be found in all 100 counties.

Gardens at Calke Abbey were laid out by Sir Harry Harpur and his son between 1770 & 1820. 
The formal garden has good bedding, herbaceous borders and Kitchen Garden provides a wide range of fruit and vegetables.
In the walled garden there is the only surviving Auricula theatre,  which was built to display these beautiful plants.

Exciting news: a grass-carrying wasp (Isodontia sp.) has moved into the observation panel at my insect hotel. The shiny yellow object on the right is the wasp egg. The tree crickets are all alive but paralyzed. #wasps #insects #entomology #TreeCricket #nature #BeeHotel #InsectHotel #isodontia #sphecidae
