This Tiny Crab Is Speeding Up Microplastic Breakdown — and Potentially Sending Nanoplastics Into the Seafood We Eat A recent study tracked fiddler crabs in heavily polluted mangroves in Colombia. The crabs accumulated plastic at levels far higher than the surrounding sediment — and as they fed, their grinding diges...

NANO NEWS: A study found that crabs are producing nanoplastics that could quickly move into the seafood we eat.

Inside a school sports hall, sits the portable planetarium. The planetarium is a big black inflatable dome, reaching most of the way to the hall ceiling. It has a white zip running half way up one side, which forms the doorway to get inside. The Tayside Planetarium banner stand is in the foreground. The hall is empty of people, before a day of shows begins for the school children.

The Artemis 2 crew posing for their official portrait. The four astronauts are standing or sitting in the orange launch suits. Pilot Victor Glover, a bald black man stands at the rear, with mission specialist Christina Koch, a white woman with medium length brown hair standing to the left of the picture, holding her helmet in her hand. Seated in front is mission commander Reid Wiseman, a white man with short brown hair. Seated to the right of the picture is Jeremy Hansen, a white man with short brown hair, who has a Canadian flag patch on his shoulder, unlike the other three that have the US flag.

An exciting Thursday with the dome at Woodlands PS, Carnoustie. They got so lucky that the Artemis 2 crew successfully launched the night before. We got to talk about a lunar mission with the astronauts in Earth orbit, getting ready to slingshot towards the Moon! #artemisII #planetarium #scotland

Audience looking up at a fulldome image of the Gemini South Telescope in Chile.

Silhouette of two people looking at the solar system with the outer Kupier Belt highlighted on the planetarium dome.

Audience watching thousands of Kuiper belt objects flying by on the planetarium dome.
