There have been THREE velvet worm (Onychophora) posts in the last day or so, requiring a megathread. I'll add one of their coolest fossils first, from when they were exclusively marine, drawn by @franzanth.bsky.social for @arthropoda-curator.bsky.social (see next 3 skeets in thread...) 🧪

Open this image up fully. Look to the top right. That's Phobos, one of the moons of Mars. And that bright point of light? Earth.

It is a weird feeling when a family member dies and at their funeral is literally hundreds of people because they were a hero firefighter, and you realize that it would be a stretch if a dozen people will show up to yours when it is time.

Dapi 🔵 for nuclei of all cells.

OK, I can't help myself, I need to show this. I'm working on the anatomy of a specific sea urchin. I'm not going to show the internal anatomy I'm making, but I can show you the animal as a whole. These are models, not actual animals 😉 😎 P.S. I love my work

I was hoping to be more prolific during galaxy season but the weather has not cooperated. I did get an LRGB capture of NGC 3817 & NGC 3829 through my 8” SCT at f/10. I need more L data to bring out the tidal halo better but it’s a good start.🔭 #Astrophotography

After 16 years of using the same camera, I finally bought an upgrade that arrives this week, so that when I encounter a really cute spider, I take pictures that look crisper than this.
