✨🔭 OMG, NASA's found a "hot" in space—because we all know borders need heating, right? 🚀🔥 Meanwhile, is more concerned with turning subscriptions into a cross-galactic mission control. 📧👽

TFW you've spent ages trying to solve a tricky problem and it. just. does. not. work. Take a break, try something new, nope still noth... Wait! There it is! That's it! 🥳 #IFLscience! and in a busy day as opportunity to work uninterrupted* is so rare, *that's* why I love fieldwork.. #FieldDiary soon

In the Arctic snow, even the tiniest blade of grass, or in this case old dead flower stalk, can make a difference. Here a combination of wind, albedo and probably emitted LW have created small pits in the snow around, and only around, tiny pieces of last year's vegetation. In the background the island of Qeqertarsuaq in Inglefield Bredning with its distinctive elongated steeply sloping spine of hills, dusted with snow, lazes away under a blue sky amongst icebergs trapped in the fast ice.

Fighting a natural global crisis like the climate crisis seems like such a daunting task to many, and any hopes of actually making a difference is considered irrealistic quite often.

However, when a lot of people and especially politicians, manufacturers etc. work on turning things around, nature might indeed heal. It just takes time, but it's worth it, and that's not just a theoretical thing.

Just read about how Antarctica's ozone hole is closing, thanks to combined human effort:

Stretched out across the sky right now are Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars, all plainly visible with the naked eye. Go outside and look up!

Looks like went to a and gathering model. Sad, it had potential.

Any recommendations for good , , and the like. Any topic is fine as long as is available.

#TIL The flying spaghetti monster is real! The deep sea is definetly an interesting and scary place.

Found out about this in the latest eppisode of the #iflscience podcast Break It Down.

They have an article about it as well here:

The Aurora Borealis on Friday night, 5/10/2024, near Mosier, Oregon in the Columbia River Gorge. This was the first time I've seen the Northern Lights, and it was well worth the 90 minute drive to get to dark skies. A spectacular display! #iflscience

“There Was A Concerning Spike In Certain Google Searches Right After The US Eclipse. Judging by spikes of certain Google search terms, it looks like a lot of people may have done what you should never do during the eclipse, and stared right at the Sun. For example, the search term "my eyes hurt" suddenly spiked.” 🤦🏻‍♀️

Better living through egg whites. It turns protein aerogels are very good at filtering water of micro plastic and other contaminants, even salt. It's not clear if you have to throw the gel away at the end of the day but if it's cheap and low impact to make maybe that's okay.

@BP_Gregory was the #IFLScience site always such a typical clickbait ad trap? I haven't visited in years, and I can't remember if it always was this way.

Considering ruminants are a net benefit to the environment ...

The headline should read "Lab-Grown 'Meat' Up To 25 Times Worse for the Environment Than INDUSTRIAL Beef."
