“Inside one of the mummies, the team discovered a rare papyrus containing a passage from Book II of the Iliad by Homer. The text includes part of the “Catalogue of Ships,” which lists Greek forces involved in the campaign against Troy.”

📝 La humanidad sigue viva, y a veces se revela en silencio. 🔥 Un hombre rescata polluelos de loro abandonados sin cámaras ni discursos. Ese gesto activa respuestas profundas: empatía, vínculo y cooperación. No es casualidad, es biología en acción y una muestra de que ayudar sigue siendo esencial.

Here it is, my annual reminder: don't spray spring dandelions with roundup. One flower can be visited by 100+ bees in a day, and your chemicals will kill all of them. 🌻
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.

Trump can't be the exception, no matter how much he may try to intimidate or sabotage the agency by suing it for billions or cutting its staff.

These trees grow wood without being cut down. In Japan, an ancient technique called Daisugi has been doing exactly that since the 14th century. [🎞️ thebrainmaze]

My photo shows a profile view of a small horse figurine with head to the left, displayed against a dark background. Sculpted from mammoth ivory, the surface is a mottled greyish-earthy-brown colour with a shiny patina. It was once likely pale white in colour. It measures 2.5 cm height, 4.8 cm width, and 0.7 cm depth. The head is gracefully lowered with a long and elegant curving neck, and a convex curved back. The four legs are incomplete. The top of the tail remains. The eyes, nostrils, and mouth are carved as indents. The ‘Vogelherd Horse’ was excavated in 1931, together with a number of other ivory animal figurines from the Vogelherd Cave, Swabian Jura, Germany. It is the oldest known sculpture of a horse. On display at the Museum of Ancient Cultures, at Hohentübingen Castle, Tübingen, Germany.
Something ancient and wonderful for the weekend!

Imagine the #IceAge artist at work, sitting by the warmth of a fire, creating what is the world’s oldest known figure of a horse!

Happy Sunday! I'm late with my sunrise picture – I skipped the coffee shop and went straight back to bed because my sleep has been so farkakte lately. But it was all worth it – today's sunrise was a smooth golden blessing of beauty. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Among those species are some of the ocean’s most imperilled creatures. The critically endangered giant guitarfish, the endangered zebra shark, and at least three vulnerable seahorse species all appear in trawl catch records.
I started looking after this senior rescue cat almost a year ago.
Time spent with him is extra special.
