I need to start reading more science.
Develop the habit before September.

I might start up a 'Science Sunday' thing 🤓

Emission Nebula IC1396 in Cepheus: 90mm Tamron DSLR lens, HOS palette, reprocessed with additional Oiii-Sii data. The bright red star on the outer edge of the nebula at 5 o'clock is Mu Cephei, William Herschel's Garnet Star, one of the largest stars in our galaxy.

A film I love, never tire of re-watching, especially on #ScienceSunday?

Contact (1997).

One of the all-time great opening sequences!

knocks science paper off desk 😸 Listen up! When scientists said "let's gopher it" and dropped these fuzzy excavators onto volcanic wasteland, they created magic. One day of digging = 40,000 plants! Even this cat must admit: sometimes the best gardeners work underground. Nature's ultimate restoration crew! 🌱🦫 #ScienceSunday

Leuk weetje voor #ScienceSunday: als je alle naaktslakken in onze tuin op een rij legt, krijg je een slakkenrij die anderhalf keer de lengte naar de maan lang is
