The buried ocean on Saturn’s moon Enceladus seems to be stable across extremely long periods of time, making it an even more promising place to hunt for life

Cutaneous horns are made of keratin but the exact cause of them is not known. They are believed to be linked to radiation as there are more cases reported on areas exposed to sunlight. This one was moved from a gentleman's scalp.

Day 20: Diary. Sometimes a diary entry can shed new light on collection histories. The diary of William Aldam (1813-1890) for 28 Sept 1870 reveals that he paid for the Cypriot amphora donated by him to the Museum of the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society, but didn't choose or own it. #Museum30
