Richard Vaughan+FollowLost Whale Causes Harbor DramaImagine chilling at Ventura Harbor and suddenly spotting a 35-foot humpback whale doing laps around the docks! This juvenile got separated from its pod during migration and ended up totally lost in the marina. People watched as it bumped into boats, clearly confused. Wildlife experts had to get creative—they played whale songs through underwater speakers overnight, and by morning, the whale had found its way back to the ocean. Wild, right? Nature never fails to surprise! #Science #HumpbackWhale #VenturaHarbor00Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowFire Ants Turn Into Floating Rafts?!You won’t believe what’s drifting on Lake Travis—giant living rafts made entirely of fire ants! When their nests flood, these ants literally link up, bite each other, and float away as a massive, wriggling island. Not only do they survive, but they can still sting if you get too close. Only fire ants pull off this wild survival trick, and researchers are obsessed with how they do it. Nature is seriously next-level! #Science #Austin #FireAnts10Share
Tamara Jones+FollowMars Rock Sells for a Wild $5.3 Million!A chunk of Mars just sold for a jaw-dropping $5.3 million at Sotheby’s—way above the $4 million expected! This 54-pound meteorite is the biggest piece of Mars ever found on Earth and now holds the record for the priciest meteorite ever auctioned. Only 400 Martian meteorites have ever been found here, so whoever snagged this cosmic rock just scored the ultimate space flex. Imagine having a piece of Mars in your living room! #Science #MarsRock #Meteorite20Share
Michael Flores+FollowGreenland Sled Dogs Just Changed HistoryTurns out, Greenland’s sled dogs (qimmit) have been keeping secrets for over a thousand years! New DNA research shows these pups split from their ancestors way before the Vikings showed up—like, over 1,100 years ago. Even wilder? Their closest dog relatives are ancient Alaskan sled dogs, not modern huskies. Basically, these dogs just rewrote what we thought we knew about when and how people settled Greenland. Who knew our furry friends could be history’s best storytellers? #Science #GreenlandDogs #HistoryRewrite441Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowCERN Just Got Us Closer to the Big Bang MysteryScientists at CERN just found a tiny but crucial difference in how matter and antimatter particles called baryons decay—about 5% more often for matter! This is the first time they've spotted this in the particles that make up most of the universe. It could help explain why we exist at all, instead of being wiped out by antimatter after the big bang. Imagine: a real clue to why there’s something instead of nothing! #Science #CERN #ScienceNews8719Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowThis Microbe Breaks All the RulesScientists just found a wild new organism that’s basically the lovechild of a virus and a cell. Meet Sukunaarchaeum mirabile: it hijacks its host like a virus but still has the tools to make its own proteins. Its genome is so tiny, it’s breaking records—and it’s got experts rethinking what even counts as ‘life.’ Could there be more weird life forms out there? This discovery is seriously blurring the lines! #Science #ScienceNews #WeirdBiology40Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowUniverse’s Big Secret: Matter vs. AntimatterEver wondered why the universe didn’t just wipe itself out after the big bang? Scientists at CERN just found a tiny but crucial difference in how matter and antimatter decay—specifically in particles called baryons. This could be the missing clue to why we exist at all! It’s the first time this kind of difference has been spotted in the stuff that makes up most of the universe. Could this finally lead us to the secrets of the cosmos? #Science #ScienceNews #BigBang222Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowPurple Emperor Butterflies Are Back!Butterfly fans, get this: the super rare purple emperor butterfly (the UK’s second biggest!) is making a comeback at Sheringham Park after years of barely any sightings. These beauties, known for their stunning purple wings, had vanished for decades but now staff and volunteers are spotting them again. Apparently, people even use banana skins and shrimp paste to lure them down from the trees! Could this be a record year for purple emperors? Nature is full of surprises! #Science #PurpleEmperor #Butterflies213922Share
Michael Flores+FollowThe Moon’s About to Hide the Seven SistersCelestial drama alert! On July 20, the Moon is going to slide right in front of the Pleiades (aka the Seven Sisters) and make them vanish from the night sky for folks in the US and Canada. This rare eclipse is like a cosmic magic trick—one minute you see these legendary stars, the next, poof, they’re gone. Grab your coffee and look up early Sunday morning for this sky show. Who else is setting an alarm for this? #Science #SevenSistersEclipse #Pleiades263Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowRadioactive Surprise Found Deep in the PacificScientists just found a wild spike of radioactive beryllium-10 in deep Pacific ocean mud—way more than expected! This 10-million-year-old layer is like a cosmic diary, hinting at ancient climate shakeups and maybe even wild space events. The big mystery: Was it wild ocean currents or something cosmic that dumped all that beryllium? Either way, the ocean floor is holding onto some seriously juicy secrets from Earth’s past! #Science #ScienceNews #OceanMysteries18117Share
