Michelle York+FollowSolar Storm Incoming: Will Our Tech Survive?A massive coronal mass ejection (CME) is racing toward Earth, and scientists are on high alert! This solar storm could mess with satellites, GPS, and even power grids. Remember the Carrington Event? That was wild—and this one could cause moderate geomagnetic storms too. Agencies like NOAA and NASA are tracking it closely, and utilities are prepping just in case. Fingers crossed our tech weathers the storm! #Science #SolarStorm #SpaceWeather7229Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowA rare whale sighting sparks hope for our oceansSpotting a fin whale mother and her newborn calf in the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument is more than just a cool wildlife moment—it’s a sign that conservation efforts might be working. Fin whales are endangered and rarely seen with calves, so this sighting is a big deal for scientists and ocean lovers alike. These gentle giants play a crucial role in keeping the ocean healthy, but their slow recovery from whaling means every birth counts. How do you feel about protecting these amazing creatures and their habitats? #Science #OceanConservation #FinWhale771Share
Tamara Jones+FollowAncient 'Unicorn' Skull Found in Greece?!Did you know scientists just found a bizarre 'horned' skull in Greece that’s got everyone talking? It’s not quite human, not quite Neanderthal—think ancient unicorn vibes! This fossil, discovered in a cave wall, could belong to a mysterious human cousin who lived alongside Neanderthals 300,000 years ago. The debate’s been raging for 60+ years, but new dating tech is finally shedding light on these so-called 'unicorn people.' Wild, right? #Science #archaeology #history1367Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowAI Just Solved a Nuclear Waste Problem?!Scientists just used AI to find a game-changing material that traps radioactive iodine—one of the nastiest leftovers from nuclear energy. This new compound, discovered by researchers at KAIST, can remove 90% of radioactive iodine from water, making nuclear waste way less scary. The best part? The AI model helped them skip tons of trial and error, so they found the solution way faster. Imagine future nuclear sites with special filters that zap away dangerous waste. Would this make you more pro-nuclear energy? #Science #AI #NuclearEnergy131Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowWebb Telescope Just Changed EverythingNASA’s James Webb Space Telescope just spotted 300 super-bright, mysterious objects way out in the universe. Scientists think these could be some of the earliest galaxies ever formed—like, right after the Big Bang! If that’s true, it could totally flip what we thought we knew about how galaxies started. Basically, the universe just got a whole lot weirder (and cooler). #Science #JamesWebb #SpaceDiscovery441Share
Michael Flores+FollowOhio’s ‘Wow!’ signal just got even weirderThe legendary ‘Wow!’ signal, first picked up in Ohio back in 1977, turns out to be even more powerful and mysterious than anyone thought. Fresh analysis using modern tech has revealed the signal’s strength was much higher and its frequency slightly different than previously believed—making it less likely to be random noise or a man-made source. While some hoped it was a message from aliens, researchers now think it’s probably from a rare hydrogen cloud in space. Still, with so many questions left unanswered, it’s hard not to wonder: what else could be out there? #Science #WowSignal #Ohio3313Share
Michelle York+FollowElephants Are Basically Talking to Us!Turns out elephants are way more like us than we thought! A new study found that African elephants use their trunks to make 38 different gestures—on purpose—to communicate with humans, especially when they want apples. They even switch up their gestures if they don’t get what they want. And get this: they only bother when people are actually watching. It’s wild to think these gentle giants are intentionally trying to chat with us! Makes you wonder what else animals are trying to say. #Science #Elephants #AnimalCommunication1160Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowSolar Panels Get a Cool UpgradeSolar panels in hot places just got a major glow-up! Scientists figured out how to use waste air from building ACs to cool down solar panels, which usually overheat and lose efficiency in the sun. This hack not only keeps panels working better (up to 10% more power!) but also helps them last longer. Imagine getting more clean energy without spending extra—just by recycling hot air. Would you try this at home if you could? #Science #SolarPower #GreenTech00Share
James Brady+FollowFort Worth’s horned lizard comeback sparks hopeRemember those quirky Texas horned lizards from your childhood? Thanks to the Fort Worth Zoo and TCU, these iconic “horny toads” are making a comeback after years of disappearing from backyards. The zoo just hatched its 2,000th lizard and is working with researchers to figure out how to help them thrive in the wild again. Turns out, fire ants and habitat changes are big threats, but the community’s passion for these little creatures is driving real conservation action. Have you spotted a horned lizard lately, or do you have memories of them? Let’s talk about what their return means for Texas! #Science #FortWorth #TexasWildlife20Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowLabor Day Northern Lights Alert!Not a drill: a wild solar storm is about to hit, and the northern lights could be visible in 18 US states this Labor Day! If you’re in places like Illinois, New York, or Oregon, grab your camera and head somewhere dark with a clear view north. Best time? Midnight to 2 a.m. And if you want a heads-up, try an aurora forecast app. Who else is staying up for this? #Science #NorthernLights #LaborDay11Share
