NGC 7822 in Cepheus
Hot, young stars and cosmic pillars of gas and dust seem to crowd into NGC 7822. At the edge of a giant molecular cloud toward the northern constellation Cepheus, the glowing star forming region lies about 3,000 light-years away. Within the nebula, bright edges and dark shapes are highlighted in this colorful skyscape. The image includes data from narrowband filters, mapping emission from atomic oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur into blue, green, and red hues. The atomic emission is powered by energetic radiation from the hot stars, whose powerful winds and radiation also sculpt and erode the denser pillar shapes. Stars could still be forming inside the pillars by gravitational collapse, but as the pillars are eroded away, any forming stars will ultimately be cutoff from their reservoir of star stuff. This field spans around 40 light-years at the estimated distance of NGC 7822.

The octopus can see with its skin
Octopuses are well known for changing the colour, patterning, and texture of their skin to blend into their surroundings and send signals to each other, an ability that makes them both the envy of, and inspiration for, army engineers trying to develop cloaking devices. As if that wasn’t already impressive enough, research published today in the Journal of Experimental Biology shows that octopus skin contains the pigment proteins found in eyes, making it responsive to light.
These clever cephalopods can change colour thanks to specialised cells called chromatophores, which are packed in their thousands just beneath the skin surface. Each of these cells contains an elastic sac of pigmented granules surrounded by a ring of muscle, which relax or contract when commanded by nerves extending directly from the brain, making the colour inside more or less visible.
Octopuses are thought to rely mainly on vision to bring about these colour changes. Despite apparently being colour blind, they use their eyes to detect the colour of their surroundings, then relax or contract their chromatophores appropriately, which assume one of three basic pattern templates to camouflage them, all within a fraction of a second. Experiments performed in the 1960s showed that chromatophores respond to light, suggesting that they can be controlled without input from the brain, but nobody had followed this up until now.
Evolutionary biologists Desmond Ramirez and Todd Oakley of the University of California, Santa Barbara therefore removed patches of skin from 11 hatchling and adult bimac octopuses (Octopus bimaculoides), mounted them onto Petri dishes with insect pins, and used light emitting diodes to shine light of different wavelengths onto the skin preparations. They noticed that the chromatophores expanded quickly, and remained expanded, pulsating rhythmically, when exposed to continuous bright white light. By contrast, red light caused slow, rhythmic muscle contractions, but not chromatophore expansion.
In these, experiments, the chromatophores were most responsive to wavelengths of 480 nanometers (nm, or billionths of a meter), which corresponds to blue light. This also happens to be the wavelength that some opsins, the pigmented light-sensitive proteins found in eyes, absorb best. Ramirez and Oakley therefore predicted that opsins are present in octopus skin, where they might act as light sensors.
To test this, they stained some skin preparations with fluorescently-labelled antibodies that recognise and bind to opsins and other proteins that interact with them. Sure enough, they found that sensory neurons in the skin synthesize one version of the opsin protein, along with G protein alpha and phospholipase C, two enzymes that relay signals from opsin molecules that have been activated by light to the interior of the cell, and which are needed to initiate the cellular response.
Octopuses aren’t unique in this respect, as various other species are now known to have skin that contains opsins and is sensitive to light. But this study provides the first clear evidence that octopus skin is also sensitive to light, and also hints at a plausible mechanism by which chromatophores detect and respond to it.
Other research shows that the marine ragworm, a “living fossil” with primitive eyes consisting of patches of opsin-containing cells at the front of its brain, also expresses the same opsin protein in neurons located on the underside of its nerve cord, and in the hair-like appendages it uses to crawl and swim. These primitive creatures continue to avoid light after being decapitated, suggesting that the opsins found outside their brain are indeed involved in sensing light.
Ramirez and Oakley believe that octopus skin acts in a similar way. In eyes, opsins are arranged in an organized manner inside photoreceptor cells, so that they can recreate a faithful copy the visual field on the retina. In chromatophores, they are arranged loosely, and so light-sensitive skin would probably detect changes in brightness, rather than forming a detailed image.
The researchers also noted that the chromatophores in their skin preparations expanded in response to light touch as well as to light, and their antibody staining experiments revealed that they are expressed in the neurons that are sensitive to mechanical pressure. This raises the intriguing possibility that opsins, which have always been associated with vision, might also contribute to other senses. This is supported by recent studies showing that opsin is present in the fruit fly antenna, where it detects mechanical vibrations, and is critical for hearing.
It’s still not entirely clear whether octopus chromatophores act as light sensors, mechanical receptors, or both, but Ramirez and Oakley are planning to find out, in a series of new experiments designed to determine what kind of behaviours they are involved in. The fact that opsins are present in mechanically sensitive cells suggests they have a common and ancient role in these processes.
Ramirez and Oakley also plan to compare opsins from the skin and eyes of different species, in order to see how they are related, and to determine whether these non-visual light responses co-opted existing opsins, or evolved independently.

Edward Saidi Tingatinga (1932–1972) was a Tanzanian painter, who invented the eponymous painting style. Tingatinga was born in 1932 in a village called Namochelia, near the border with Mozambique. The village no longer exists – it is remembered only as his birthplace. (In a related note, I may have a new goal in life…) Because his mother was Christian and his father was Muslim, he was two names, on from each tradition. Read more at historical-nonfiction.com

May 23rd 1701: Captain Kidd executed
On this day in 1701, the Scottish pirate William Kidd was executed in England. Kidd, born in Dundee around 1654, enjoyed a successful career as a seaman before his turn to piracy. In May 1696, Kidd set sail charged with the job of hunting pirates and attacking enemy French ships as a privateer. However, while on this voyage around the Indian Ocean, Kidd and his crew began plundering treasure ships. During his time, Kidd killed a mutinous gunner on his ship, contributing to his fearsome piratical reputation. Their main prize was the Quedagh Merchant which carried a wealth of gold, silk and spices - the haul from this came to around £15,000, a huge amount of money for this period. As news broke in England of Kidd’s activities, his wealthy and powerful patrons at home scrambled to condemn him. He was eventually arrested in New York, where he had gone with hopes of support from his powerful contacts there, insisting he was innocent and had acted only as a privateer. Whilst he gave up some of his buried treasure on Gardiners Island, he claimed he had more buried somewhere else; would-be treasure hunters have been searching for his haul ever since. Kidd was put on trial for piracy in England, in what became a public spectacle due to his prominent connections, where he was found guilty and sentenced to death. On May 23rd, Kidd was hanged on the River Thames in London and his body encased in an iron cage and left to rot as a warning to other pirates.
