Path of the Panther has won two Emmy Awards so just wanted to share that we created education guides full of activities for all age groups (my work is HS/HE). Great for #biology#environmentalscipathofthepather.com#AcademicSky

Pretty sure this isn’t even my best sequence from last night 👀 It’s just the easy one that only required stitching a couple panels lol

Milky Way / Airglow over Lower Falls 🌌

The Milky Way over Yellowstone’s famous Lower Falls. Strong airglow paints the near-horizon sky a haze of neon yellow-ish green.

ohhh, pretty plots! I wish we had Astro Plot of the Week here on The Sky, would nominate these! 🔭 Synchrotron radio emission maps of four supernova remnant models (at four different post times) showing a high mass object moving through remnant at different velocities. 📸 arxiv.org/abs/2409.15829

Diagram showing 3 columns and four rows. The plots look like red circular flames, against a black background. Each column represents a different epoch after a supernova event has occurred and each row represents a different high mass object moving through the supernova remnant at a different velocity. As the high mass object moves through the remnant it gives very unique shapes, like water drops creating a splash back effect. In this image, the viewer's aspect angle is at 45 degrees.

In this image, the viewer's aspect angle is at 0 degrees, so we see the events horizontally.

‪This painting is finished! "Forest Sentinel" - A Barred Owl is perched on a mossy branch in a spruce forest, calmly watching you from above. An 11x14" oil painting, I grew to appreciate all of their subtle browns/grays. Available: lostthicket.etsy.com/listing/1786...#bsnm#art#sciart#birds
