Scientists just explored Argentina’s Mar del Plata Canyon and found wild stuff: a pink lobster, a see-through octopus, and even a starfish with a cute butt. The footage wowed millions, but they also found trash down there—yikes. We’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s in our oceans. Who else wants to see more of these deep-sea surprises? #Science #OceanDiscovery #DeepSea172Share
Tamara Jones+FollowRare dragonfly discovery shakes up Missouri conservationA federally protected Hine's emerald dragonfly was just found in Bollinger County, Missouri—over 30 miles from its previously known habitats! With only about 30,000 of these striking green insects left worldwide, every new breeding ground is a big win for both biodiversity and local wetlands. These dragonflies aren’t just rare—they help keep marshes healthy and control pests naturally. Their presence signals clean water and thriving ecosystems. If you’re out exploring local springs or marshes, keep an eye out and report any unusual dragonflies. Protecting these habitats means cleaner water and less flooding for everyone. What do you think: Should more land be set aside for conservation? #Science #Missouri #Conservation00Share
Michelle York+FollowTropical insects are vanishing—yikes!Scientists just found something wild: tropical forests are losing tons of insects, especially butterflies and beetles, and it’s not normal. Blame climate change and those intense El Niño years—these bugs can’t bounce back. Why care? These tiny creatures keep forests healthy by pollinating plants and breaking down leaves. Without them, the whole ecosystem could fall apart. The good news? Some groups are working to save insects and restore rainforests. Who knew bugs were such MVPs? #Science #ClimateChange #Biodiversity01Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowDinosaurs’ Last Summer Was WildImagine T. rex hunting under palm trees in Antarctica and Triceratops munching on the world’s first flowers—Earth’s last Cretaceous summer was a total paradise! Dinosaurs were at their peak, with lush jungles, no ice caps, and crazy-warm temps. But while everything looked perfect, disaster was brewing: a giant asteroid was about to crash the party and wipe out almost everything. It’s wild to think the world was at its best right before it all ended in a flash. Nature’s ultimate plot twist! #Science #Dinosaurs #Cretaceous00Share
Tamara Jones+FollowToxic Hammerhead Worms Are on the Move!Spotted a weird, flat-headed worm in your yard? That’s a hammerhead worm, and it’s bad news for earthworms and gardens. These toxic invaders are spreading across the U.S., and squishing or cutting them just makes things worse—they multiply! Instead, bag and freeze them or drown them in soapy water. And definitely report any sightings. Who knew yard work could get this wild? #Science #invasivespecies #gardening10Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowSpace Travel Ages You—Literally!Space travel sounds epic, but did you know it can actually speed up aging? A new study found that astronauts’ stem cells age faster in space, making it harder for their bodies to repair themselves. After months on the ISS, some astronauts came back looking way older, with thinner faces and even greyer hair! Microgravity and cosmic radiation mess with your cells, causing DNA damage and even ‘chicken legs.’ The good news? Some effects reverse back on Earth, but space is definitely the ultimate stress test for the human body. #Science #SpaceTravel #Aging22Share
megangibson+FollowElectric Pangolin Is Real?!You will NOT believe what scientists just found in the Congo: an electric pangolin! This wild creature can actually generate and store electricity in its scales, zapping out 50 volts to scare off predators. It’s the first time a mammal has been found with this kind of superpower. Researchers are freaking out over what this means for evolution—and the tech world is already eyeing its bio-batteries. Is this the most shocking animal discovery of the century or what?! #Science #ElectricPangolin #WildlifeDiscovery00Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowSycamore Gap tree’s true age revealedTurns out the iconic Sycamore Gap tree by Hadrian’s Wall was at least 100 to 120 years old when it was illegally cut down last year. Scientists from Historic England studied a slice of its trunk and discovered it likely sprouted in the late 1800s, making it a living witness to generations of local history. The tree’s loss hit hard, but its legacy is being preserved—its trunk is now part of a national collection for future research. What memories or photos do you have of the Sycamore Gap tree? How should we honor such irreplaceable landmarks? #Science #SycamoreGap #HadriansWall31Share
James Brady+FollowSeaweed: The New Gold Mine for Tech?Turns out, the ocean’s seaweed could be the next big thing for powering our gadgets! Scientists at PNNL have figured out how to pull rare earth minerals—like the ones in your phone—straight from seaweed. It’s way more concentrated than the ocean water itself, and they’re making the process cheaper and greener. If this takes off, we might see a whole new way to get the materials we need for tech, without all the pollution from traditional mining. Wild, right? #Science #TechNews #Sustainability00Share
martinezlaura+FollowOld Magnets, New Magic: Scientists Crack RecyclingTurns out your old magnets could be the secret to powering the future! Scientists at Kyoto University just pulled off a major breakthrough: they figured out how to recycle rare earth metals from used magnets using a new, eco-friendly process. This means cleaner, cheaper materials for things like EVs and wind turbines—without all the messy mining. If recycling was this high-tech and good for the planet, would you be more likely to dig out your old electronics? #Science #ScienceWin #RecyclingRevolution10Share
