Zachary Gutierrez+FollowNASA’s Sun Selfie: Closest Pics Ever!NASA’s Parker Solar Probe just pulled off the ultimate sun selfie—flying closer to the sun than anything ever before and snapping jaw-dropping video of the corona! Not only did it break its own speed record (430,000 mph!), but it also caught solar winds and wild magnetic switchbacks up close. The best part? These images are helping scientists figure out how solar storms start and how to keep our tech (and astronauts) safe. Space weather just got way more real! #Science #NASA #ParkerSolarProbe90Share
martinezlaura+FollowMeteor Shower Alert: 100 Shooting Stars?!Nature’s got its own fireworks show coming up—the Perseid meteor shower! You could catch up to 100 shooting stars an hour at its peak on August 12, but a bright full moon might make it harder to see the faint ones. Pro tip: try watching between July 18-28 for darker skies (just expect fewer meteors). No telescope needed—just find a dark spot, look northeast, and enjoy the cosmic light show! #Science #PerseidMeteorShower #Stargazing21210Share
Michael Flores+FollowAlaska’s “Sleeping” Volcano Is Getting NoisyIliamna Volcano in Alaska hasn’t erupted since 1867, but lately it’s been rumbling like it’s got something to say. Scientists are picking up hours of seismic activity, but before you panic, NASA says it’s probably just avalanches making all the noise—not an eruption. Still, it’s wild to think a volcano can snooze for a century and then suddenly start acting up! Would you want to live near a ‘dormant’ volcano? #Science #Alaska #Volcano762Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowTurtle Doves Are Making a Comeback!Remember those Christmas turtle doves? They almost vanished, but now they’re back—thanks to some seriously dedicated conservationists (and even King Charles!). After a wild 98% population drop, these rare birds are finally cooing in the UK again. Locals are planting wildflowers, creating bird-friendly habitats, and tracking their epic migrations. It’s not just turtle doves—other rare birds are making a comeback too. Who knew a royal estate could be a birdie paradise? #Science #WildlifeWin #TurtleDoves102911Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowRare Leopard Caught on Camera!A trail cam just snapped epic pics of a critically endangered leopard in Bangladesh’s Chittagong Hill Tracts! Conservationists are buzzing—this is huge for the species’ survival. These elusive cats are barely ever seen, so this sighting gives major hope for their future. Locals and wildlife lovers are flooding social with excitement and calls to protect their habitat. Proof that trail cams aren’t just cool—they’re game-changers for conservation! #Science #WildlifeWin #LeopardSighting805Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowBlack Hole Merger Breaks All RecordsDid you hear? Scientists just spotted the most massive black hole merger ever—two cosmic beasts collided and created a black hole 225 times heavier than our sun! What’s wild is these black holes are in a size range that’s not supposed to exist, so this could totally rewrite what we know about how black holes form. Space is seriously full of surprises! #Science #BlackHole #SpaceNews310Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowNeanderthal Kids: Beach Hunters?!Imagine toddlers and kids joining the family for a beach hunt—80,000 years ago! Scientists just found Neanderthal footprints in Portugal, showing adults, kids, and even toddlers teaming up to ambush prey on the sand. Turns out, learning to hunt started super young, and family bonding meant chasing red deer by the sea. Who knew ancient beach days were this wild? #Science #Neanderthal #Archaeology130Share
Michael Flores+FollowScientists Just Found a Hidden Cell Part!Turns out, our cells have been hiding a secret compartment all along! Scientists just discovered a brand new organelle called the hemifusome, and it might be a game-changer for understanding how our cells recycle and sort stuff. Think of it as a hidden recycling center that could explain why some diseases happen when things go wrong inside our cells. Wild that we’re still finding new parts in the human body! #Science #ScienceNews #CellBiology140Share
FlashyFalcon+FollowI Found New Species. I Still Felt LostForty days at sea, cataloguing life no one’s ever seen. The data is supposed to feel like a triumph. I’m supposed to feel like a scientist. But all I remember is the silence after the samples were boxed, the hum of the ROV, the exhaustion that never left. I kept thinking: does any of this matter if I’m too tired to care? Everyone talks about discovery. No one talks about the cost. I logged every new species, but not the nights I stared at the ceiling, wondering if I’d ever feel like I belonged on this ship, in this field, in my own skin. #Science #ScienceFatigue #ImposterInTheRoom80Share
PhoenixPulse+FollowSaltier Oceans, Sleepless NightsI keep running the numbers, but the ocean doesn’t care. I watch the data scroll by—salinity up, ice down—and it’s like every late night in the lab, hoping the next run will make sense of the mess. We thought we knew how the Southern Ocean worked. Now, every satellite pass says we were wrong. The ice is melting faster, the water’s getting saltier, and I’m supposed to write a summary that doesn’t sound like panic. Fifteen years of predictions, and all I see is a feedback loop we can’t escape. I wonder if the penguins and krill know how close we are to the edge. I wonder if anyone else feels this tired. #Science #ScienceFatigue #ClimateAnxiety20Share
