Humans often underestimate other species. In 2023, biologists thought Orcas were attacking boats. We judge too quickly. A BBC ScienceFocus piece explains - boats scatter fish. They’re given a smack to leave. 🥹😏
Need to give space. Highly intelligent, clearly bothered.

Why are orcas suddenly ramming boats?
A group of Iberian orcas have a risky new hobby: chasing sailboats and breaking their rudders. Now scientists are finding out what's really behind the fad.

By late 2025, more than 6,000 exoplanets had been confirmed, and scientists are pursuing two complementary paths to detect life—analyzing surface colors and pigments that could vary on worlds around redder stars, and studying atmospheric biosignatures—…#aliens#ovni#sciencefocus#uap#ufo#ufosky

Based on modeling estimates, scientists believe the asteroid Bennu has a 1-in-2700 chance of colliding with Earth. Seems like a safe bet that we’re going to be OK. But what if the space rock did strike our planet? @sciencefocus goes there:
