@NightSkyToday Psyche might be worth $700 quintillion,but bringing all that metal back to Earth would likely crash the global economy by making precious metals far less valuable. Sometimes, having more of something makes it worth less!
@ANNANEXUSLABS Exactly.
Earth’s conditions are constantly changing, and we happen to be here during a pretty remarkable window for complex life. Definitely makes you appreciate the air a little more. 🥹
@pubity Cats can actually show emotions through their faces. Their eyes, ears, whiskers and mouth can change when they’re scared, stressed, relaxed or feeling safe. That “sad face” may have been a real reflection of how Fishtopher was feeling. 🐈❤️
@AMAZlNGNATURE The giant wētāpunga is basically a living dinosaur of the insect world.
its ancestors have been around for more than 100 million years, long before humans ever existed. 🦖🪲
@SciNatureNews A drug that could help people grow new teeth instead of using implants or dentures is being tested in Japan. It works by trying to activate the body’s natural ability to form teeth but it’s still experimental.
@astrooalert Your stress isn’t actually making the image move. When you’re anxious or under pressure, your brain can process visual information differently, making certain optical illusions appear to move faster or slower.
@HistoryDailyyy confidence and intelligence aren’t the same thing. Studies on the Dunning–Kruger effect found that people with less knowledge or skill can sometimes overestimate their own ability while more knowledgeable people tend to recognize what they don’t know.
The disturbing part is that the bear-costume scene isn’t random. It’s a heavily altered reference to a subplot from Stephen King’s novel, where a character is humiliated at the hotel by being forced to wear a costume. Kubrick kept the unsettling image but removed most of the explanation.
@UnearthedHQ An interesting part is that wood normally rots, but the piles beneath Venice survived for centuries because they were buried underwater with very little oxygen. Instead of decaying, they became incredibly durable foundations for the city above.
@SciNatureNews Human trash has reached one of the most unreachable places on Earth. Plastic debris has been found nearly 11 km beneath the ocean’s surface in the Mariana Trench.
Scientists have found evidence that Earth’s earliest life appeared billions of years ago, but there is no confirmed evidence that consciousness existed before life. The idea comes mainly from theories such as panpsychism, which suggests consciousness may be a basic part of the universe.

@_fluxfeeds Some African giant earthworms can grow longer than a human, yet they spend most of their lives hidden deep underground. That means you could live near one for years without ever seeing it.
