A split screen comparison showing a restored frame from the Richard Feynman Fun to Imagine series. The left side shows the original footage with heavy grain, green colour cast, noise, and low detail. The right side shows the restored version with clean colours, sharper detail, and smoother skin tones. This restoration was done frame by frame using intensive colour correction, denoising, and upscale techniques to bring the old BBC footage back to life.

Yay! Finally found a bit of time to get back to the restoration projects.. I am still working on part 3 of Fun to Imagine, but the first two episodes are now updated on the site with the new interactive lessons. Part 3 coming soon.. 🚀

It may take some time but I'm sure you guys will find your feet again.. After the next election ;)

James Webb Maps an Alien Atmosphere in 3D Scientists used the James Webb 3D atmosphere map tool for the first time on WASP-18b. They found a 2,760°C hotspot that rips water apart. Discover the full findings.

"It's life, Jim..." Well, actually not! It's WAY too hot.. 🥵

But we can finally see an alien planet... 👽

JWST just created the FIRST-EVER 3D map of an alien atmosphere. It's a 2,760°C (nearly 5,000°F) inferno that literally tears water molecules apart.

This is a new era of exploration 🔭🤖🚀😁

Hi, hope you're having a great day :) Thanks for the follow

Prospects for the Crossing of Comet 3I/ATLAS's Ion Tail During October - November 2025, interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, will pass upstream of the Europa Clipper and Hera spacecraft. Here, we identify two potential opportunities for in-situ observations of 3I'...

@dorothyspigot.bsky.social Correct, the primary missions are unrelated – that's the awesome part! It's an unplanned encounter. A study predicts its path crosses the comet's ion tail (~Oct 30-Nov 6). Here's the primary source if you don't have time to read my article:
arxiv.org/abs/2510.13222

The chances are very low but definitely not zero ;)

Europa Clipper to ‘Taste’ Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS in Historic Flyby In a historic first, NASA's Europa Clipper will fly through the tail of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. Learn how its advanced instruments will 'taste' a visitor from another star.

WOW! ✨ 3I/ATLAS is only the 3rd interstellar object we've ever observed but by PURE chance NASA's Europa Clipper will fly through its tail and sample it.. The first time EVER humanity will directly sample material from outside our solar system! Mind officially blown! 🤯 Flyby ~ 30th Oct – 6th Nov

Climate Change & Zombie Viruses: What Science Knows Arctic thaw is reviving 48,500-year-old zombie viruses permafrost couldn't hold. Learn about the climate feedback loop and pandemic risks science is uncovering.

The risk from “zombie viruses” in melting permafrost is (fortunately) low, but it's a reminder that climate change can trigger unexpected feedback loops. From methane release to ancient microbes, the Arctic is thawing more than just the ice.. ❄️🧊⛏️

Origin of Heavy Elements: Has a New Cosmic Forge Been Found? We knew stars make elements, but the origin of heavy elements like gold was a puzzle. A new theory about 'Common Envelope Jet Supernovae' may finally solve the mystery.

“We are made of star stuff”~ Carl Sagan.
Even our gold and platimum wedding rings are forged by stars, and now we have a much better understanding of how!

I hear you loudly but alas, we still need to try and make a difference..

Life on Mars? Perseverance Finds Strongest Clue Yet NASA's Perseverance rover has found compelling Mars life evidence in a rock named Cheyava Falls. Discover what this potential biosignature means for science.

I've been busy getting the news section of Seriously Scientific ready.
I'm trying something a little different I hope. I start by finding the official peer reviewed paper as a primary source with a link. Then I try to break it down so that its easier to digest.
Please hit me with feeback, Thanks 🙏

YouTube video by CBS Chicago Bill Nye the Science Guy honored with star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

For sure, congrats to him on that and here's a few words from him about it : www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvSf...

Bill Nye in his blue lab coat and red bow tie points upward beside a science demo with a flask and red balloon. The quote on the image reads: “An ice sculpture has a lot more molecules than a burning match… therefore more heat energy.” – Bill Nye. This image highlights the launch of NGSS-aligned interactive lessons now added to SeriouslyScientific.com, designed for students and curious minds alike to test what they remember.

🔥 This POST is too hot to handle 🔥
I’ve uploaded the new improved version of Bill Nye: Heat.
Plus, every upload now comes with an NGSS-aligned interactive lesson (MS-PS1-4).
You dont have to be a student to enjoy it, let me know your thoughts, Science Rules!

Appreciate the feedback though, I'll definitely check things on my side as well when I'm back home..

Also how are you trying to listen? I've noticed that YouTube and Netflix don't sync too well to Bluetooth speakers so well sometimes.

Hmmm ok, I tried from mobile as I'm not home right now and the sound seemed ok. It doesn't mean it's not though..
Sometimes it can take a while for YouTube to finish rendering the higher quality versions, also sometimes you need to manually change the settings to show the higher quality versions.

I’ve also set up interactive lessons, so if you watch this episode be sure to check it out with the orange button underneath the video, enjoy!

Comparison of Professor Julius Sumner Miller in his 1969 series Dramatic Demonstrations in Physics. The top shows the original poor 480p source, the bottom shows a 2160p restoration by SeriouslyScientific.com. This was the first of 45 episodes in the series. New interactive lessons are now being added alongside these restorations to bring the classic demonstrations back to life for modern learners.

Congratulations to Aster Vérité for correctly guessing the legendary Professor Julius Sumner Miller 🎉👏
This was my toughest restoration yet as the source footage was v poor. I’ll redo it when better copy surfaces from this epic 1969 series:

You only got the hair right ;)

Ahhhh good guess with the hair but no ;)

I think I have to agree with you there, he does seem to be close on the heels of Avi Loeb at times..

Yes, I think we should get the ball rolling first though, more roll, more moss as they say..

I wish it were so but alas the situation wasn't quite what we'd both hoped for..
I did put extra effort trying to improve technique though, so hopefully we can still do him justice, and 🤞 for future developments..

Haha ;)

I may have been quiet on here lately but have been very busy behind the scenes… ⛏️⛏️
The new “Mystery Educator” should be arriving tomorrow 👀 "Hair as iconic as the science but remember - you can’t always judge a book by its cover." Can you guess? 🧩

Haha ok I promise ;)

I took a photo of myself with that expression, then I asked AI to make my head explode with crazuy blue hair..

Did anybody else see the eclipse last night? 🛸🌕 👽

Sorry, I just couldn't resist continuing this... Maybe I should change my name to 'Not So Seriously Scientific' for this one 😂😉 (created just for fun).

#eclipse #funny #flatearth

Yes I had heard that as well but it's not publicly available. Cheers for the nudge though, I'll drop them an e-mail - nothing to lose hey and would be great if they agree 👍

Yes, I hear you for sure. However, the only source footage I can find are old VHS recordings, so the quality is very poor.
I'm experimenting with different methods to try and restore details without making the whole thing look too soft when I get to the upscale stage. Ideally I'd need a DVD source
