@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialCasper is an extraordinarily rare white lobster—and now part of research into the genetics behind lobster coloration.
October really did hand science a ghost lobster.
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialLong before modern astrophotography, artists and astronomers turned careful observation into images people could study and marvel at.
E. L. Trouvelot’s Orion Nebula is science and art at once.
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialStudents created public art connecting Elizabeth Freeman’s fight for freedom to the place where her case was heard.
Art can help a place remember.
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialYou don’t need a telescope—or an astronomy degree—to help with real space science.
NASA’s Overlap Zoo lets volunteers identify overlapping galaxies so researchers can study cosmic dust.
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialCornish fishers tested a floating “eye” designed to keep threatened seabirds from fishing nets.
A wonderfully odd idea for a serious problem.
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialBecause the fruit is less dense than water, ripe melons can float — which makes this irrigation-channel convoy oddly satisfying to watch.

Stella Young challenged that thinking directly.
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialRed eyes. Hairy legs. Mostly legs.
Researchers described two sea spider species new to science in the Salish Sea.
Nature remains undefeated at being weird.
@raisegoodruckus.bsky.socialStudents at the University of Evansville built an AI-powered robot to map curb ramps, sidewalk damage, and other accessibility barriers.
Technology is at its best when it makes everyday life more accessible.
