Do you need a steady supply of illustration, concept art, branding, or graphic design? I have 20 years of experience and am now available for part-time remote work!

This illusion was new to me. Does whichever dot you look at turn more purple?

Pretty neat how clearly this lets you see the reduced sensitivity to blue light in the very centre of your vision.

I've dedicated my whole life to finding a cure for insomnia. I won't rest until I find it.

See the narrow gap in the plotted temperature-luminosity diagram corresponding to the stellar properties of our nearest #stars?

It is a narrow region where stars are not allowed, because there is a transition between stars with thin radiative outer layers and those that are fully convective.

It was a surprise to be able to obtain such subtle astrophysical information by simply looking at a sample of stars with accurately characterised properties.

The purpose of a system is to have fun and be yourself :)

When ants collect water or other liquid foods they carry it in their social stomach not their mandibles.

I was watching a colony of Laius emarginatus yesterday afternoon and was similarly puzzled until I noticed that all of the ants returning to the nest had full gasters. They were walking about 12m to gather water from a leaky water fountain in the park.

Such trails could also be about the ants planning to move to a new nest.

does anyone have a primer on how to navigate European Union website to find legislative texts etc?

it seems incredibly convoluted when trying to check the sources for the news
