Hello I have questions like if that star cluster was contained in a sphere, what's its radius? How many stars are there? What is the average distance between stars? What happens to star clusters over time?
I'll take me answers off the air, thanks.

Hello, scholar social! Here's my #introduction
I'm here from the Ecology & Evolutionary Biology dept at the University of Toronto and the Palaeobiology dept at the Royal Ontario Museum.
I'm a PhD Candidate studying growth and life history in extant and extinct cats, using both observational data (collected by others) and data from the growth record preserved in bone (collected by me)! See below for what a fossil Smilodon bone looks like under the microscope 👀

Dragons are real. And they live in the ocean.
Blue Glaucus or “the blue dragon” is a brightly colored nudibranch that incorporates toxic chemicals & stinging cells from prey into its skin as a defense against predation.
And in my humble opinion, it’s more spectacular than anything ever imagined in Westeros. Image: Sylke Rohrlach #science #nature #SharedPlanet

Sometimes literary works of fiction inspire scientists.
Meet “Ampulex dementor” aka “the dementor wasp.” This species, discovered a few years ago, was named after the mythical dementors in "Harry Potter" that suck souls with abandon.
Why? The dementor wasp injects venom into its prey, turning cockroaches into passive zombies before dragging them off to be devoured. #nature #science #books #SharedPlanet

The Best Movie Posters of 2022
It feels weird to admit this, even to myself, but maybe I love movie poster design even more than I love book cokottke.org
I love that Letterboxd now offers its top tier members to choose which poster appears for any given movie in their collection. It seemed like an odd feature to me at first, but as I thought about it and how I obsess over specific posters for certain movies, it made sense.
Have you explored the world of 1960s-80s Polish movie poster art? What a fascinating, beautiful rabbit hole.
That first "Everything Everywhere" one is just awful. Definitely trypophobia triggering.

Attention fedizens, it has come to our attention that more trolls are causing a ruckus on the #fediverse. Beware of users who use acronyms like lgbtq/lgbtqia in posts or on their profiles.
LGBTQ/LGBTQIA stands for Let's Get Banned Today Quickly (by) Instance Admins, is used to refer to a group of trolls who like to block evade or "speedrun" getting defederated.
They will make inflammatory posts such as the one below to see how quickly they can get on #fediblock.
If you see any #lgbtqia individuals please block and federate safely.
