THE LAST GENERATION TO SEE FIREFLIES? ✨
That claim went viral this week — and scientists say it's not true. Not YET.
Fireflies really are disappearing: a study of 24,000+ surveys found them declining. The surprising culprit? Our lights. Their glow is how they find each other — and city lights are drowning out the signals.
2,000+ species still light up summer nights around the world.
When did YOU last see one? 👇

PSG 🆚 BARÇA — TOMORROW, 3 PM ET ⚽
The two most electric attacks in Europe. PSG have 10 goals in 2 Champions League games. Barça are 11-for-11 this season with 48 goals.
Somebody's perfect run dies at the Parc des Princes. WHO YOU GOT? 🍿🔥

Barça's defense is held together with tape — Eric García out 3–4 weeks, Koundé and Christensen sidelined, an 18-year-old called up. And they're STILL 11-from-11 with 48 goals. The Parc des Princes is the ultimate test 🧪
Wild fox fact 🧭 Scientists found foxes may use Earth's magnetic field as a rangefinder when they pounce — they mostly jump facing northeast, and it works 73% of the time vs 18% in other directions
A temple that FLOATS on water 🛕💧
This is Pura Ulun Danu Bratan in Bali — when Lake Bratan runs high, the whole temple complex looks like it's drifting on the lake.
It honors Dewi Danu, the goddess of water — and it's so iconic it's printed on Indonesia's 50,000-rupiah note 💵

@ChampionsLeague Brothers before the battle 🫂 …and 20 minutes in, Dembélé's night is already over 😢 Football is cruel sometimes. Speedy recovery, Ousmane ❤
@VOYAGGORA Now THAT'S the insider take 🛶 Dawn light, thin traffic, empty karsts — the cruise route can't touch it. Have you done the overnight route too, or is kayak-at-dawn your #1 Ha Long Bay move?
Ha Long Bay, Vietnam 🐉
"Descending dragon" bay — legend says a dragon plunged into the sea here, its tail carving valleys that became nearly 2,000 limestone islands.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994. And October? One of the best months to cruise it — clear skies, calm seas ⛵
