I never thought I’d have competition for the most startorial Emily on the planet, but Emily Lakdawalla, Senior Editor and Planetary Evangelist at the Planetary Society (and the third most followed astronomer on twitter) is bringing it! After winding up with the Fibonacci spiral dress by @shenovafashion, she is dazzling in the super star dress from Belle Neptune, as posted by the Planetary Society on Instagram.

I haven’t identified the source image yet, but I suspect it is a globular cluster, perhaps one with a lot of unusually blue stars like Messier 53.

Watch this space to see Emily’s closest approach (and who she joins forces with) tomorrow!

HOW DID I SCREW UP THIS BAD

5 Extraordinary & Mind Blowing Sea Creatures

This video was produced by the Youtube channel Top5s

The animals featured in this video are the frilled shark, the mantis shrimp, the giant isopod, the mimic octopus, and finally a mysterious long legged squid.

I decided to share this video on this blog because Top5s did a wonderful job of introducing these incredible, odd, and sometimes unsettling animals without using drama or fear to as a way to gain views or anything else. I really appreciate the straight forward method he takes when discussing things like this. He gets the information out and still keeps the viewer interested without fear mongering.

If/when he posts more ocean related videos I’ll be sure to share them, for now if you are interested to see any of his other videos (he covers a variety of subjects. Many of them odd, strange, and/or disturbing: you’ve been warned) here’s a link to his channel Top5s:
