Jessica Hodge+FollowDinosaurs: Bigger Than We Ever Thought?!A forgotten leg bone from a 1963 dig in Zambia just flipped the script on dino history. Turns out, early dinosaurs (or their close cousins, silesaurs) might’ve been way bigger than we imagined—maybe even the biggest herbivores around! Scientists are now rethinking whether dinos started out huge and actually shrank over time. Wild, right? And all because someone finally took a second look at a dusty old museum fossil. Sometimes, the real game-changers are hiding in plain sight! #Science #Dinosaurs #FossilFinds202Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowCaught: Planets Being Born in Real Time!Astronomers just snapped the first-ever pic of rocky planets forming around a baby sun outside our solar system—basically, we’re seeing new worlds come to life! Using NASA’s Webb Telescope and a Chilean observatory, scientists spotted the exact moment solid specks started clumping together, just like Earth did billions of years ago. This could mean planet-making is way more common than we thought. Imagine watching a solar system’s origin story unfold 1,370 light-years away! #Science #SpaceNews #Astronomy682Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowPanda Skeletons in the Sea?!Divers in Japan stumbled on wild sea creatures that look exactly like tiny panda bears wearing skeleton costumes—no joke! What started as a viral diver forum post turned into a legit scientific discovery: a brand new species called Clavelina ossipandae. These little guys are less than an inch tall, help keep reefs clean, and were basically hiding in plain sight. Proof that sometimes, the coolest new finds come from random snapshots and curious hobbyists! #Science #OceanDiscovery #WeirdNature161Share
megangibson+FollowPlanet Caught in the Act of Being Born!Astronomers just spotted a baby planet literally carving out wild spiral patterns in the dust around a young star—like, we might be seeing a planet form in real time! This exoplanet is about twice the size of Jupiter and is sweeping up cosmic leftovers as it grows. The best part? Scientists actually caught the planet’s own light for the first time, making this a total game-changer for understanding how planets (like ours!) are born. #Science #SpaceNews #Astronomy30Share
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
Tamara Jones+FollowDolphins Rocking Sponge Noses?!Did you know some Aussie dolphins are basically DIY tool users? They wear sponges on their noses to hunt for hidden fish—like little sea detectives! It protects their beaks but messes with their echolocation, so only a few dolphins (taught by their moms!) actually master it. Scientists found they have to rewire their brains to make it work. Wild, right? Only about 30 dolphins in Shark Bay have this quirky skill! #Science #Dolphins #AnimalBehavior150Share
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
Patrick Simmons+FollowWaikiki’s Hidden Flood Danger ExposedWaikiki’s gorgeous beaches might be hiding a ticking time bomb: scientists say the storm drains under the sand could totally fail by 2050! Rising sea levels and heavier rain could flood the streets with polluted water from the Ala Wai Canal—yikes. This isn’t just a Waikiki problem, either. Tons of coastal cities could face similar disasters if they don’t upgrade their drainage systems. Would you still visit if Waikiki was underwater? #Science #Waikiki #ClimateChange10Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowNASA’s Camera Survived the Sun?!NASA just flew a camera right through the sun’s corona—yep, the outer atmosphere—and it didn’t melt! The Parker Solar Probe got closer to the sun than anything before and sent back wild black-and-white videos of solar wind and particles literally dancing. Not only is this footage mesmerizing, but it could help us predict auroras and protect astronauts from space weather. Science fiction, but real! #Science #NASA #ParkerSolarProbe51Share
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
