Layered abstract landscape in rich swirling tones of teal, turquoise, and aqua in the upper sky portion flowing into warm terracotta, rust, amber, and sage green earth tones below, rendered in a luminous stained glass style with organic bubble formations and flowing curved shapes. The rich color contrasts and intricate layered composition give this piece a vibrant, jewel-toned depth.

This South African parasite lives entirely underground until it’s time to #flower. When it does, it produces a fleshy, alien-looking bloom that smells like a carcass to lure in #beetles. It then traps the #insects in a slippery chamber, releasing them only after they’ve successfully moved its pollen around.

An eel with a white snout peeks from underneath a ledge at an ocean reef. The eel has yellow eyes and is speckled with brown and yellow bands. Bright yellow rostrums on the nose are part of its smelling apparatus.
"Plans to end global warming hinge on driving net greenhouse gas emissions to zero, plus or minus a few gigatonnes (Gt). It’s not going well.
CO2 emissions hit an all-time high last year, and for the first time average temperatures on Earth rose 1.5 °C above preindustrial levels.
To hold warming below 2 °C, a total of 525 to 755 Gt of carbon dioxide will need to be removed from the atmosphere by 2100. That total will increase if global emissions do not start falling quickly.
From 2019 to 2023, just 9 Gt of CO2 was removed, 99.9 percent through managed forestry.
In other words, nine gigatonnes down, 746 gigatonnes to go...

"[L]ong before scientists had any way to measure the age of a rock directly, they had already built most of the timeline we still use. Even more remarkable, what they created with nineteenth-century tools turned out to be astonishingly accurate. The story of how they did it is one of careful observation, simple logic, and a later boost from physics."

Gemini Meteors over Snow Capped Mountains
The Geminids #meteor shower, named for its radiant point in the Gemini constellation, originates from debris of #asteroid 3200 Phaethon. #Earth crosses this debris trail, causing visible meteors streaking above Slovakia's Tatra mountains in a recent composite image.

Les fixateurs de carbone dans les océans profonds :
- L'océan joue un rôle essentiel dans le contrôle du climat de la Terre. Il absorbe environ un tiers du dioxyde de carbone rejeté dans l’atmosphère
+ du dioxyde de carbone ( humain ou totale ??? ) rejeté dans l’atmosphère.
+ des chiffres de l'année 500 !!!

By many many orders of magnitude, the most impressive technology on Earth is DNA.
There are 10^38 bits of DNA information on Earth today.
Life on Earth is 3.7 billion years old. It works out that 10^50 bit-hours of DNA information have existed on Earth.
For context the planet Earth is 10^50 atoms.
We are NEVER EVER going to learn more, than DNA has already learnt. It’s the ultimate von Neumann probe for brute force learning.
There’s a strong case that cellular intelligence vastly exceeds organism intelligence, and that the gap is totally and permanently irredeemable.
Long after the last human is extinct, the real sentient force on Earth will still be running. It might spin up another civilisation soon after us, maybe a more advanced one.
Humanity is really just some art that DNA put together for a while. It’s just the most insane algorithm and it’s natural and spontaneous?

🦖🍽️ The #asteroid that killed #dinosaurs 66 million years ago transformed #Earth's #forests from open canopy to dense #rainforests, creating new ecological niches where many of today's #food crops first evolved.
Field Museum paleobotanist Mike Donovan explains how green beans, yams, #coffee, cacao, and other #Thanksgiving staples only began developing after dinosaurs disappeared, making these foundational foods a direct consequence of the mass extinction event.

The Observable #Universe
The observable universe encompasses all we can detect, including the cosmic microwave background from 13.8 billion years ago. The featured image scales down from #Earth to this ancient light. While our universe may be part of a larger multiverse with varying laws and constants, this remains speculative.

The #mitochondrion represents a #biological singularity, a discrete #evolutionary event that fundamentally partitioned life on #Earth into two distinct energetic stratums: the #prokaryotic and the #eukaryotic. While colloquially reduced to the moniker of "cellular powerhouse," the mitochondrion is, in functional reality, a highly integrated endosymbiont that serves as the master regulator of eukaryotic physiology

Crossing #Saturn's Ring Plane
Galileo was puzzled when Saturn's "appendages" vanished in 1612, not realizing they were rings seen edge-on as #Earth crosses their plane. The Cassini spacecraft captured this phenomenon, with the thin blue ring plane and golden atmospheric bands of Saturn visible, alongside moons Dione and Enceladus.
