Behold! Jupiter, in an approximation of true color, in 1927, long before color astrophotos became a thing. But luckily, historical astronomers had the foresight to make multiple photos with different filters to bring out different features.
My friend @foxgirlchorix found these two photographs of Jupiter taken by the Lick Observatory's 36" reflector telescope on 1927 October 2. They were taken in ultra-violet and infra-red light. My image above was made by taking the UV image as a blue channel and the IR image as the red and green channels, and then modifying the hue and saturation so it looked nice. This is not unlike how more modern color photos from spacecrafts are sometimes produced.
Here is the original image.
Notice that the Great Red Spot has a pale whitish cloud in its middle. This had been reported by astronomers of the time period.
I made another attempt using B=violet, R=red, and G=green from this: https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co56931/glass-positive-jupiter
But it didn't turn out as nice. Mainly I think because the archival photo for these are photos of a glass plate and not an adequate scan of the contents of that plate.

tbh it kind of irks me when people talk about places like caves, the deep ocean, or space like they're these terrifying unknowable eldritch places where humans are not meant to go. like those are just places? they're places where humans can't survive without specialized equipment, sure, but that's just what most of the universe is like, on account of the universe wasn't made for us and doesn't revolve around us. nor has the universe made any rules saying we can't use specialized equipment to hang out and see what's up. and isn't it amazing that our experiences only constitute a tiny, tiny sliver of all that there is? isn't it wonderful how much exists beyond what we know and are familiar with?
the thing about gazing into the abyss is that it's actually really fun and cool and interesting with proper safety precautions. and the abyss is literally just vibing it doesn't wanna eat you or whatever
never let anyone tell you that trawling through mediocre victorian poetry isn't worth it. we just happened upon an absolute BANGER of a worm poem. go read it or else 🪱🪱🪱
the reviews are in... glad everyone's enjoying song of the worm
[id: tumblr tags reading 'dude This Fucking Rules', 'holy fucking shit! that was legit so cool?', 'holy shit that is fucking metal', 'oh this fucks severely', 'yeah no this fucking SLAPS', 'yo this RULES']
(translator's note: "haplodiploidy" means "unfertilized eggs develop into males* and fertilized eggs develop into females*")
*i am aware of the political implications of these terms, but i cannot think of better alternatives. please note thoroughly that i am not talking about humans.
would there be slutshaming if a member of this species gave birth to many females ?
if sex was pleasurable, would there end up being "male shortages" in societies ? would states encourage abstinence/contraception in these circumstances ?
what would feminism look like ? considering every ovulation would result in pregnancy, what kind of social revolution would the development of abortion create ?
gay people ????
would a sufficiently advanced society develop medically-induced parthenogenesis, considering this would be significantly easier than in a species where sex determination is random ? how would everyone feel about this ?
i like the idea that the stereotype of "boy mom" in their society would map very well onto our stereotype of "crazy cat lady".
holy shit their transmisogyny would be insane. can you imagine.

What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas
the Great Refractor is really the steam locomotive of the telescope world. An archaic, 19th century technology, unweildy, but gorgeous and with a certain romance to it, preserved for the public to enjoy for fun and education rather than to do the job it was originally built to do.
I once asked the former director of the Observatory at which I volunteer if he ever got large-telescope envy. We have one of the biggest telescopes in the entire state, but they do still get quite a lot larger than this even in the context of public outreach focused observatories.
But he said no, he envies observatories with Great Refractors. And it's easy to see why.
