Elephant seals take short naps while on deep dives. On the way to 7000 ft below, they fall asleep while diving in spirals downwards. When they get there, they wake up and forage for food

Rx Inspector, our free, searchable tool, allows you to look up where your generic prescription drug was made.
From patients and doctors to researchers, it is already reshaping how people make decisions. “This is a godsend,” one professor told us.

Nature rarely builds solid. Bird bones, seashells and honeycombs use clever, porous designs to stay strong without the extra weight.
Now, #3Dprinting is letting engineers copy those natural blueprints — “printing air” into products that are lighter, safer and more efficient. ⬇️

Medieval monks reused an animal skin parchment and in the process removed the writing. However, not all the writing was removed and it has been identified that the writing was a map of the stars written by the Greek astronomer Hipparchus. Now x-rays from a particle accelerator are trying to recover the lost text. The original text dating to about 129 BCE is the earliest known map of the stars. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/medieval-monks-wrote-over-a-copy-of-an-ancient-star-catalog-now-a-particle-accelerator-is-revealing-the-long-lost-original-text-180988123/

An abandoned laboratory in Poland, once part of an agricultural research institute.
Most buildings have been stripped, but one laboratory room still holds scattered glassware, faded chemical bottles, and some older equipment. A few machines remain, as well as some crunchy dead plants.
A nice location to explore solo and take some time photographing some details.

For the first time since 1972, humans are headed back toward the Moon 🚀
NASA’s Artemis II will send 4 astronauts on a 10-day journey around the Moon to test critical systems and pave the way for a future lunar landing.
