During phasic REM, the brain is least responsive to outside sounds while heartbeat signals are preserved or strengthened, suggesting sleep shifts sensory processing inward. @unil@currentbiology https://t.co/OUG5gOowkI
Meet Bungalu! This special little elephant survived a true odyssey to be here today – braving weeks on his own, storms of epic proportions, and even a terrifying lion attack. (This video was taken the morning after his rescue)
We’ll be sharing more of Bungalu’s story later, but for those who can't wait: https://t.co/FeeHgVO9wM
While you’re there, you can choose to be part of Bungalu’s future by becoming one of his first foster parents! 🐘♥️

#OTD 57 Years Ago: Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the Moon, marking the first human foot on another world. A total of 12 humans have walked on the Moon. With the Artemis Program, NASA is sending humans back to the Moon, this time to stay.
Happy Monday!

One giant leap for mankind
History was made on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11's Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first to set foot on the Moon.
For more than 5 decades, the total number of moonwalkers has remained at 12. NASA will change that with Artemis IV.
The day the Moon became a place humans could walk.
On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 marked humanity’s first steps on the lunar surface marking a turning point in science, engineering, and global cooperation. As we celebrate this historic moment, we also look ahead to the Artemis missions that will return astronauts to the Moon and prepare us for future journeys deeper into our solar system.
Since The Blue Angels seem to be dominating the news cycle this week, thought I’d share a collection of shots from @MCASAirShow
