Congrats to our competition winners from last week Orb Baller and Synic!

Our next art competition has the theme ‘perspective’. We’re allowing both AI art (if you’re not familiar, check out Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, or Dall-e) and original art, so everyone will be able to participate.

Our next photography competition has the theme ’round’, so get out into nature to win some points and bling your profile.

Paleontologists have discovered an ancient and remarkably well preserved algae fossil in China. It’s over 500 million years old, which predates the origin of land plants, and has shown scientists that plant complexity evolved earlier than expected. 🔗 Link

1,000-year-old stalagmites from a remote cave in India show the monsoon isn’t so reliable – their rings reveal a history of long, deadly droughts. 🔗 Link

The James Webb Space Telescope has shown Neptune in a whole new light. The new telescope has revealed planet-wide storms (like Jupiter), and rings (like Saturn). 🔗 Link

A fist-sized stone deep in the Earth is on the edge of becoming magma. It has been underground for billions of years, in darkness since before life awoke. It will rise, touch sunlight, cool, erode into soil, become plant life, nourish a deer. The stone will take its first breath.
