About 60 miles east of Cincinnati stands a sublime and enigmatic ancient monument. Serpent Mound was built by ancestral Native Americans, and archaeologists debate its origins. Now they're working with tribal elders to understand its cosmic connection.

It’s like CSI…but with rocks 🕵️♀️🪨
Scientists hiked into the Mojave Desert to investigate a mineral “fingerprint” detected by a NASA sensor. Topaz was hiding in plain sight, which could hint at something more valuable underground known as porphyry copper.
We will hold a media teleconference at 11am ET on June 17 to preview the Katalyst Space mission to boost the orbit of NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. Learn how to listen in: https://t.co/mu6x0jmqUF
What's creating a bubble of gas below our galaxy? Astronomers using Fermi traced it back to Westerlund 1, a cluster of young stars. Supernova explosions and stellar winds within the cluster may be driving the outflow. More: https://t.co/TUmZjTnb6l
Fermi helped reveal the power source of a rare and unusually luminous supernova. A supermagnetized neutron star amplified the blast, causing the stellar explosion to shine brightly in visible light and gamma rays much longer than anticipated! https://t.co/W9TJdaYA54
#OTD in 2008, our Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope launched to view the universe with its gamma-ray eyes, collecting the highest-energy form of light.
What’s Fermi been up to? Check out some recent news in this thread! ⬇️
In case it is of interest to anyone, this is the book I use to study habitats with my grandson. It’s absolutely brilliant and I cannot recommend it highly enough!
Tre ponti distrutti in poche ore.
Ora tutta la logistica ricade sul ponte di Kerch, che però può sopportare nemmeno un terzo del traffico necessario.
E sono convinto che a breve anche quello farà una brutta fine.
La Crimea sta per tornare ucraina, ormai è ufficiale.
Ukrainian forces have now hit and damaged the last remaining key bridge heading out of Crimea the Armyansk Bridge where a Russian logistical convoy crossing the bridge was severely damaged.
Russian logistics in Kherson are severely disrupted.
Saw a bee sitting on a daisy and went over to take a picture. Someone else saw the bee first, it seems.
@OldHollowTree, if you are missing a bee, this one is not coming back.
