Why has the government made it illegal to photograph the disaster on the gulf?

Oh. that's why.

Friday Cephalopod: I succumb to peer pressure and will mention Octopolis
September 22, 2017
Wow. Every person on the planet saw one version or another of this "Octopolis" story and had to send it to me. It was the subject of a Friday Cephalopod a year ago, you know. Apparently, this is the second octopus city discovered, which is interesting -- they're exhibiting more complex social…
Friday Cephalopod: we all float down here
September 15, 2017
Pale, drifting quietly, long grasping arms, cold and anoxic…we all float down here. Yes, I'm going to go see It this evening. It won't be half as creepy as the reality of the dark deep, though.

That's when I saw a large black dog transmogrify into a lawn mower. No, seriously, I really did see this. It reminded me of the…
Messier Monday: A Secretly Active Spiral Galaxy, M77
"The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave." -Patrick Henry It's not a good idea to showcase a galaxy for you every Messier Monday, considering that even a crescent Moon can render most of them completely unobservable. Now that the autumnal equinox has passed, however, a very special spiral will be visible after sunset for the next six months or so…
Big News about Black Holes!
This has been all over my inbox since the press release came out yesterday; it's been on slashdot (thanks Brian), it's been at space.com, and there's a mediocre writeup on Universe Today. What's the big news? Black Holes don't destroy information after all! What is this whole information thing, anyway? Take a look at all the normal stuff in the Universe: photons, protons, neutrons, and electrons…
