Tamara Jones+FollowEarth’s Wildest Scar: Meteor Crater SecretsImagine a mile-wide crater in Arizona that’s basically a real-life time capsule from the Ice Age. Barringer Crater (aka Meteor Crater) was blasted out in seconds by a space rock 50,000 years ago—so powerful it vaporized itself! It’s the most intact impact crater on Earth, so well-preserved that NASA trained Apollo astronauts there. The wildest part? The original meteorite is almost totally gone, leaving only tiny fragments. Standing on the rim feels like staring into Earth’s cosmic past! #Science #SpaceHistory #MeteorCrater452Share
megangibson+FollowAsh Trees Are Fighting Back!Did you hear? Some ash trees in the UK are literally evolving to fight off a deadly fungus that’s wiped out millions of their kind. Scientists are calling it a real-time evolution miracle—young trees are showing genetic resistance, and it’s giving everyone hope for forests, wildlife, and even cleaner air. Nature’s not giving up without a fight! It’s wild to think we’re watching evolution happen right before our eyes. Would you trust nature or science more to save our trees? #Science #NatureWins #AshTrees722Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowBuildings That Double as Batteries?!Imagine your house not just using power, but actually storing it too! Scientists in France and Spain just created a wild new building material that’s as strong as concrete AND works like a rechargeable battery. This could mean future buildings power themselves and cut down on pollution big time. Plus, it’s way cleaner to make than regular concrete. Would you live in a battery-powered building? The future is looking pretty electric! #Science #Innovation #CleanEnergy00Share
Michelle York+FollowMeteor Shower Alert: Don’t Miss This Show!The Perseid meteor shower is about to light up the night sky, and it’s basically the best cosmic show of the year. Expect up to 100 meteors an hour, with some leaving colorful streaks! Pro tip: catch the action between July 18-28 for the darkest skies (thanks, moon). Find a spot away from city lights, look up before dawn, and get ready for some serious stargazing magic. Who’s staying up late for this? #Science #PerseidMeteorShower #Stargazing50150Share
Michael Flores+FollowEarth’s Mantle Hides Giant ‘Fortresses’Geologists just uncovered massive 'fortresses'—think continent-sized blobs—almost 1,800 miles beneath our feet in the Earth’s mantle! These ancient, super-hot zones (called LLSVPs) are way tougher than the surrounding rock and might be steering everything from volcanic eruptions to the drift of continents. Turns out, Earth’s insides are way less mixed up than we thought, and these hidden giants could be the real power players shaping our planet’s surface. #Science #EarthScience #Geology80Share
martinezlaura+FollowPlanet Nine Hopes Just Got CrushedJust when we thought Planet Nine might be lurking out there, astronomers found a new object—Ammonite—that basically throws a wrench in the whole theory. Its weird orbit doesn’t line up with the other distant objects, making it way less likely that a mysterious ninth planet is shaping things up. Turns out, our solar system’s outer edge is even wilder and more complicated than we thought! #Science #SpaceNews #PlanetNine240Share
Tamara Jones+FollowExtinct Dog Spotted After Decades!A wild dog species thought to be extinct since the '90s just popped up on a trail cam in India! Researchers caught a rare glimpse of the Asiatic wild dog (dhole) in Kaziranga-Karbi Anglong, proving these elusive canines have been sneaking around undetected for years. With only about 2,000 left, this find is a huge win for conservation—and a reminder that nature can surprise us when we least expect it! #Science #WildlifeWin #Conservation108734Share
martinezlaura+FollowMatter vs. Antimatter: The Plot ThickensCERN scientists just spotted something wild: for the first time ever, they caught matter and antimatter behaving differently in baryons—the particles that make up almost everything we see. This tiny difference could help explain why our universe didn’t just vanish in a puff of energy after the Big Bang. The catch? The effect is super small, so there’s still a big mystery to solve. Physics drama, anyone? #Science #ScienceNews #CERN372Share
Tamara Jones+FollowBlack Panther Photobombs Butterfly Spot!A black panther just crashed a butterfly party in Thailand’s biggest national park—and the pics are unreal! This rare, vulnerable cat was caught on camera at a spot usually reserved for butterfly fans. Experts are buzzing because sightings like this are super rare and show how healthy the park’s ecosystem is. Plus, every snap helps conservationists protect these apex predators (and the whole food chain). Who knew a butterfly reserve could get this wild? #Science #WildlifeWednesday #BlackPanther225Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowBlack Hole Born in a Cosmic Collision?!Astronomers just spotted something wild: a black hole that might’ve formed right in the middle of two galaxies smashing together—no dying star needed! The Infinity Galaxy (named for its sideways 8 shape) has not one, not two, but THREE supermassive black holes, including one that’s literally chilling between the galaxies, feeding on gas. This could be the first real evidence that black holes can form directly from collapsing gas clouds. Space just keeps getting weirder! #Science #JWST #BlackHole71Share
