Zachary Gutierrez+FollowFreshwater surprise beneath the Great Salt LakeBeneath the cracked, dusty surface of the shrinking Great Salt Lake, scientists have discovered a hidden network pumping up fresh groundwater—enough to create lush, green mounds in the middle of the dry lakebed. This underground water source could help fight dangerous dust storms and revive local wetlands, but experts warn it needs careful management to avoid making things worse. Researchers are now mapping this resource, hoping it could be a lifeline for the lake and nearby communities. What do you think: Should we tap into this hidden water, or leave it untouched for nature? #Science #GreatSaltLake #Utah11Share
James Brady+FollowBlack Hole Spotted From the Dawn of Time?!Astronomers just found a black hole that might have formed right after the big bang—no galaxy needed! The James Webb telescope spotted this “nearly naked” monster, which could be the first-ever evidence of a primordial black hole. If true, this discovery would totally shake up what we thought we knew about how the universe began. Imagine black holes popping up before galaxies even existed! Mind = blown. #Science #BlackHole #JamesWebb353Share
Tamara Jones+FollowFive Galaxies Collide—Universe Drama!The James Webb Space Telescope just spotted a wild cosmic pileup: at least five galaxies crashing together only 800 million years after the Big Bang! This kind of mega-merger is super rare—usually, it’s just two galaxies. Dubbed JWST’s Quintet, this group is bursting with new stars and could help explain how giant, ‘dead’ galaxies formed so fast. Imagine the universe’s most dramatic group chat, but with galaxies! #Science #JamesWebb #SpaceNews536Share
Tamara Jones+FollowHumpbacks’ Bubble-Net Trick: Only They Can Do It!Turns out, humpback whales are the only ones pulling off that wild bubble-net feeding move! A new University of Hawai‘i study found that out of seven baleen whale species, only humpbacks have the flipper power and agility to spin fast enough for this iconic hunting strategy. Other whales just can’t keep up—literally. This unique skill helps humpbacks catch scattered prey and stay energized for their Hawaiian vacations. Science win! #Science #HumpbackWhales #MarineBiology100Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowA Whole New Island Just Popped Up!Did you see this? A brand new island literally appeared overnight after a wild underwater volcanic eruption! The ocean floor just cracked open, magma shot up, and boom—new land. Scientists are geeking out, and honestly, it’s like watching Earth build itself in real time. The island’s still changing by the hour, and soon it’ll be crawling with new life. Nature is seriously next-level! #Science #Volcano #NewIsland34852Share
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
Michael Flores+FollowWorld’s Biggest Iceberg Is Falling Apart!You’ve gotta see this: the world’s largest iceberg, A23a, is now visible from space and literally melting faster than anyone expected. Scientists are freaking out because pools of water are forming on top, speeding up the meltdown. This giant chunk of ice is bigger than LA and could crash into South Georgia island, threatening penguins, seals, and whales. If it gets stuck, local wildlife might lose access to food. Wild times for Antarctica! #Science #IcebergA23a #ClimateChange575Share
Michelle York+FollowMars Is Hiding Dozens of Ancient Blobs?!Mars is apparently full of mysterious, super-dense blobs deep under its surface—possibly leftovers from ancient 'failed planets' that never made it big. Scientists found these weird structures using Marsquake data from NASA’s InSight lander, and they’ve been chilling there for billions of years. Unlike Earth, Mars doesn’t have tectonic plates, so these blobs are basically time capsules from the solar system’s wild early days. Space is wilder than we thought! #Science #Mars #SpaceMystery110Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowKiller Whales Reveal Shocking Chemical SecretsScientists just found five new types of 'forever chemicals' (PFAS) hiding in killer whale blubber, and it’s way worse than we thought. These sneaky chemicals don’t show up in the usual blood or liver tests—they love fat instead. That means we might be seriously underestimating how much toxic stuff is building up in marine life (and maybe us). Time to rethink what’s really lurking in our environment! #Science #ForeverChemicals #KillerWhales10Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowDolphin disease jumps to humans in OʻahuA startling discovery in east Oʻahu: scientists have confirmed that a dangerous infection found in stranded dolphins can now be transmitted to humans. This raises big questions about our interactions with local marine life and what it means for beachgoers and the fishing community. Should we be more cautious about contact with wild animals, even those that seem healthy? The research team at UH Mānoa is urging everyone to stay informed and vigilant. How do you think this could change our relationship with the ocean and its creatures? #Science #Oahu #Dolphins8611Share
