The word Marble comes from the Greek μάρμαρος (mármaros), meaning "sparkling rock" #BedtimeScience #MarbleFacts
Elephants may have been domesticated 🐘 by themselves https://t.co/Xo63J5XHqQ Like humans and bonobos, they have reduced aggression, are extra social, have long childhoods, like to play, and are highly vocal #BedtimeScience
Plants scream when stressed ☘️🌾🌿😱 https://t.co/LjJ1z6Zfjq Plants produce high pitched staccato pops when they dry out or are wounded. We can't hear them, but many animals can. #BedtimeScience https://t.co/ye6W6Q10Xn
Billions of years ago waves on a shallow lake formed ripples in the bottom sediment, which became frozen in stone for us to see today. On Mars. https://t.co/ap8jzhgjV0 #BedtimeScience
Bigfoot sightings correlate with bear numbers, so many supposed sightings are probably misidentified bears https://t.co/UuFPAKXMeR Or alternatively, and a possibility the authors neglect - Bigfoot eat bears 😱 #BedtimeScience
Thick peaty bogs buried beneath deep deposits of sand, topped with volcanic basalt, uplifted by continental drift and plutons of underlying granite, and dissected by deeply eroding swift flowing water #BlueMountains https://t.co/XuzOg7D63t #BedtimeScience
Pyroclastic flows of ash from huge volcanic eruptions 226 million years ago were compacted and welded together to form Brisbane tuff, used to build many heritage-listed Brisbane buildings https://t.co/TC375zXJyb #BedtimeScience
JWST's first glimpse of the TRAPISST-1 system of rocky worlds in the habitable zone of their star only 39 light years away confirmed their atmospheres aren't deep primordial hydrogen, but could be thin like Earth, Venus, and Mars https://t.co/nSFeLjCJWD #BedtimeScience
Green light reduces pain in mice and people 🎄🐁🤯 https://t.co/caSkDuAJuS https://t.co/HBXuOWlOXl #BedtimeScience
New microbes just dropped 🦠 Provora (devouring voracious protists) hunt other protists in water all over the world. Two types: Nebulidia eat prey whole, while Nibbleridia use denticles to nibble bits from prey larger than themselves https://t.co/ngRSL5KKI5 #BedtimeScience
Swear words have to sound like they mean it. Soft approximant sounds like L, R, W and Y rarely make the cut, across many different languages. https://t.co/JTZBll1irD https://t.co/d8WW7j6qvO #BedtimeScience
Chemical analyses show these 300 million year old fossil poos were full of animal fat and free from plant material. That's a healthy diet for a large carnivore, and amazing preservation of complex biochemicals. https://t.co/84e14fgR1b https://t.co/fZnf8FOgLs #BedtimeScience
Zika and dengue virus suppress a specific antibacterial response, so some skin bacteria grow and produce ten times as much acetophenone, a chemical that attracts the mosquitoes who spread zika and dengue virus 😱 https://t.co/TSYRDKwAsl https://t.co/gjBKxqC1JR #BedtimeScience
JWST has taken a direct image of giant gas exoplanet HIP 65426 b, filtering out the otherwise overwhelming light from its star with a coronagraph https://t.co/kq288qLFEN #BedtimeScience
Dogs literally cry with joy when they're reunited with their owners https://t.co/TwT185JJB4 #BedtimeScience
3D computer modelling shows Megalodon was at least 15m long, and could open its jaws 2m wide to devour an orca in 5 bites https://t.co/K1jkWRYpF4 #BedtimeScience 🦈
The food with the best balance of nutrition and environmental sustainability is CHIPS! 🍟😋😎
(Actually potatoes 🍠🥔 and rice 🍚 but don't spoil the headline) https://t.co/MGlPp1NrVj #BedtimeScience
People who disagree most with the scientific consensus know less about the relevant issues, but they think they know more. https://t.co/TQlsXZRoBG #BedtimeScience
The EnVision mission to Venus plans to move into a slow low orbit by aerobraking, grazing the planet's atmosphere thousands of times over two years https://t.co/89cuKHW4dA #BedtimeScience
Lamarckdromia beagle is a newly discovered Western Australian crab that's covered in fuzz and holds a sponge on its head. Good protection from predators and very stylish 🦀😎 https://t.co/niU7amWIvQ #BedtimeScience
