    Not sure where else to post this.

    Nature can be brutal; but also strangely beautiful. Mount Etna erupting.


    This would be too close for comfort:


    They even have a live webcam (not much to see at the moment, but that will change with a new eruption, of course):

    Funnily enough the geology science one is so fake. Jess didn’t look fake though

    @nevorian I wondered about that Geology science one. The name fooled me! Should have noticed the twitter handle with two "y"s!

    @stargazer Ka mau te wehi! That is so cool, and I guess FPV is First Person View drone, so the pilot will be seeing that on his headset - like being there!

    Interstellar visitor likely made of frozen nitrogen, cookie-shaped rather than cigar, and not a comet or asteroid – while some stick to alien theory

    @stargazer said in Science!:

    Well - that led me to ask "Helicopter? What? Does Mars have an atmosphere?" - and rather than taking the normal approach and just ask here - I actually bothered to type it into a different tab, and get an immediate answer, which led to...

    • So yes, Mars has an atmosphere - albeit much thinner than Earth's
    • But - it used to have a much thicker atmosphere, much more like Earth's (which meant water, blah blah, the dry riverbeds, blah blah, building blocks of life, blah whatever)
    • So... if Mars lost most of its atmosphere, ending up a dry husk of a planet... could Earth do the same...?
    • Yeah... that's already happening - but likely to take about a billion years, so... probably not Greta's priority just yet

    Science!

    Bees learn to play golf and show off how clever they really are

    Bees learn to play golf and show off how clever they really are

    I'll show you ball skills It’s a hole in one! Bumblebees have learned to push a ball into a hole to get a reward, stretching what was thought possible for small-brained creatures. Plenty of previous studies have shown that bees are no bumbling fools, but these have generally involved activities...
