Hubble's sharpest view of the Orion Nebula
Image date: 11 January 2006, 16:00


This dramatic image offers a peek inside a cavern of roiling dust and gas where thousands of stars are forming. The image, taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) aboard NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, represe...

A vivid digital artwork of a planetary nebula resembling a glowing cosmic eye, with a bright central star surrounded by concentric rings of blue, gold, and white gas. Wispy, luminous filaments radiate outward into a dark star-filled background, creating a dramatic, swirling halo effect.

The void blinked, and in the gap between darkness and forever, an iris of azure flame and gilded interstellar dust unfolds. Tendrils of dying starlight comb the black for a last embrace—a universe-wide sigh dressed in a halo of final, radiant breath.

Lori, a small, tan pup with a scruff of white on her chest, is held closely by a person in a black vet scrub. we can tell from Lori's expression she is a bit scared and not sure what to expect.

an x-ray image of Lori's lower torso shows her left hind femur has popped out of her hip socket, the result of being hit by a car.

another angle of Lori, who is lying down inside an exam pillow while her head and hind legs are handled by two vets.

This is Lori. She was wandering the streets as a stray when she was hit by a car. It caused her left hind femur to come fully out of her hip socket. She’s in severe discomfort and needs surgery followed by physical therapy to walk pain-free again. You can help her below ❤️‍🩹

Rehabilitation of the Dandelion!
No other plant in the Netherlands attracts as many bee species: 107. In early spring, when nothing else is blooming, it is simply there. Meadow bird chicks that have just hatched depend on the insects that are drawn to dandelions. No dandelion, no insect, no chick.

Storm

By S.L. Brown

Storm

I do not run from the storm in it I find peace
The darkness and rumbles speak to me
The coldness of the rain wash away the shine
Too many sunny days leave too many blind
Fear not the treacherous seas
Or the flash of the lightening
No the storm will not leave me alone
To me it is home

# 300

The back and forth motion of bumblebee wings create vortices in the air like tiny hurricanes, the eyes of which have lower pressure than the surrounding air, and keeping those eddies of air above the wings helps #bees stay aloft.
