- TLDR: It’s water, yinz
- We’re always told to drink more when we’re sick, but what works best? Turns out the answer is simple. Experts say plain water is king and may even help keep stress hormones in check, per a cited APS Publications JAPPL study. More from Real Simple: ow.ly/HWWg50Y7I1L #ISpyPhysiology 🧪

- Reposted by Kristian ClausWe've all seen the grand spiral structures of galaxies, but have you ever seen the finer structure within? Usually, the interstellar dust that creates this form is invisible, but the James Webb Space Telescope is equipped to reveal the hidden detail using its infrared imaging. (1/3) #Astronomy ⚛️🧪

This amazing hybrid looks like a cosmic lens with dark dust rings swirling all around it. ➡️ esahubble.org/images/potm2... #universe

- Reposted by Kristian ClausThis is the most detailed map yet of dark matter in the universe, based on JWST observations of 800,000 galaxies. The background image shows those galaxies in infrared light. Yellow indicates the location of dark matter, inferred from its gravitational pull. 🧪🔭 www.nasa.gov/missions/web...

- Reposted by Kristian ClausI've seen fossils in some remarkable places, but this takes the prize: the benthic foram Nummulites in the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza. These massive blocks were quarried from the Eocene Mokkatam Formation when a relictual population of woolly mammoths still lived on Wrangel Island.

These sea stars can be found with amazing colors; yellow, orange, purple, green, red, and brown plus combinations of these colors. And they'll eat urchins.

The fault system here has a record of damaging, tsunamigenic earthquakes, and this swarm is unusual. So, what’s going on, and what can we say about hazard?
