Some jellyfish never touch daylight. This one was filmed ~900 meters down, drifting through permanent darkness in water colder than your freezer. We've mapped more of the Moon's surface than our own deep ocean. #DeepSea #OceanScience #Biology

Honey basically never spoils. Archaeologists have tasted 3,000-year-old honey found in Egyptian tombs and found it perfectly edible — low moisture and natural acidity make it an environment bacteria just can't survive in. #Science #FoodScience #DidYouKnow

A single image: 120 million km of rings. Cassini captured Saturn's rings in stunning detail before its grand finale dive into the planet in 2017 — 13 years of science, 4.9 billion km of travel. #Space #Saturn #Cassini #Astronomy

![Sharpless 101 (Sh 2-101) is a H II region[1] emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is sometimes also called the Tulip Nebula because it appears to resemble the outline of a tulip when imaged photographically. It was catalogued by astronomer Stewart Sharpless in his 1959 catalog of nebulae. It lies at a distance of about 6,000 light-years (5.7×1016 km; 3.5×1016 mi) from Earth.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dksfsl7lygnhrmfxsxcznf3u/bafkreic6fc7m6eomlxomrormudkpgulqior3tftmwj6uglinu3k6pjskvi)

Your brain runs on about 20 watts of electricity — enough to dimly glow a light bulb. It's arguably the most complex object in the known universe, yet it's built from the same ordinary carbon as a pencil. #Neuroscience #Science #BrainFacts

Octopuses have three hearts — and two of them stop beating when they swim. That is why they prefer to crawl: swimming literally exhausts them. Evolution’s cleverest problem-solver, short-changed by its own plumbing. #OceanScience #MarineBiology #DidYouKnow

A rare cosmic tipple! 🥂😉For the first time ever, astronomers have detected a rare form of the organic alcohol #methanol in space. Intriguingly, the molecule is far more abundant than current models predict - a sign there’s still a secret ingredient in cosmic chemistry we’ve yet to uncover!🔭🌟
First detection of heavy methanol in space
A research team from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy has, for the first time, detected fully deuterated methanol (CD3OD) in space, specifically around the protostar IRAS4A2 in the Perseus...

One of the most detailed spiral galaxy portraits Hubble ever took. Billions of stars crowd those arms, and every one of them could be someone else's sun. The universe really does show off sometimes. #Astronomy #Space #Hubble

45-Million-Year-Old Crocodile Skull from Egypt Gets New Name: Herugavialis cairensis | Sci.News
CT scans of a fossil found near Cairo show the animal was not a relative of the false gharial (Tomistoma schlegelii), as paleontologists long thought.

How to Get College Textbooks in PDF Without Paying Ridiculous Prices
College textbooks are one of the most overpriced parts of higher education and somehow, this still isn’t talked about enough.
