Have you heard of a gogotte? ⏳

It's a rare type of sand concretion. Millions of years ago in northern France, superheated water filtered through pure sand, creating the grooves you can see on this specimen. You can find it in our Lasting Impressions gallery!

Diarmaid MacCulloch reviews ‘Silence of the Gods’ in the @LRB: “Too often the existence up to 1386 of a powerful and successful non-Christian European polity in Lithuania has been treated as an anomaly, as has the prolonged survival of non-Christian religion amid the nominal Christian conversion of north-east Europe.” https://t.co/LhbXTaOhY1 📚🇱🇹

Ancient people in Scotland have been putting crannogs in their lochs (artificial islands in their lakes) since the Iron Age, but archaeologists have discovered that at least one island is much older—about 5,000 years old!

AI photos being uploaded to INATURALIST now. As they get better this destroys the concept of citizen science as nothing can be trusted.
How do we delete the internet and start again?? 😭😭😭

Following the attempts of a Romanian man to install his own heating system, over 70 apartments in a Romanian neighborhood have started receiving hot water through their gas pipes. It took the authorities 5 days to figure out how he was able to achieve that result.

Over a year ago, I made several criticisms of a viral article that claimed that microplastics had now accumulated to roughly 7g of our brains. For example I pointed out they gave very little detail on how they checked for contamination.

How has the study held up?

Not very well!

[Met Office @metoffice]

A fast moving coronal mass ejection (CME) means the northern lights may be visible overnight, and perhaps on Tuesday night too

The arrival time of the CME is uncertain, but aurora sightings are possible in northern Britain and perhaps in southern areas depending on cloud cover.

Orca calves!!! A short clip of aerial footage from our encounter with the 27s Orcas in Yell Sound, Shetland earlier this week. Great to see the two calves born in 2022 and 2024 alongside their mothers.🖤🤍

Still breezy this Monday morning. 11°c and I think the tide is going out. Quiet in Porthleven. Sea choppy. A couple of people swimming.

Incredible ice rings were spotted on a frozen lake near Budapest, Hungary. Experts say these eye-catching ice formations only appear when winter weather conditions align just right. https://t.co/SYi6r5XW6P

Some lovely ice patterns in the puddles on Stanbury Moor this morning.
