Late afternoon Friday dog walk and spotted what looked like the yellow of dying moss on a log deep in the woods. “Wonder what's killing it?” I thought, walking by. Curiosity won out, I scrabbled through the brush and found the truth.

Slime mould! I think this one is Craterium leucocephalum. Slime moulds aren't plants, or animals, or fungi - they split off at some point after plants, but before fungi and animals.

I hope to get better at photographing these - this one was super-tiny, with each "stalk" around 1mm high. I stacked 24 exposures to get this end result.

New instance, new #introduction !

Hi #fediverse ! We’re the European Southern Observatory, and we design, build and operate ground-based telescopes.

One of them is our Extremely Large Telescope, currently under construction in #Chile. It will have a 39 m mirror, and its rotating enclosure will weigh 6100 tonnes, or about 700 mastodons!

We’re looking forward to chatting with all of you about #astronomy

And many thanks to @sebinthestars for running our former instance!
