WHY sturgeon gotta be like that???
[wait for it]
North America’s largest freshwater fish (White Sturgeon) is obviously jealous of the second largest (Alligator Gar) with its armored scales, teeth, poisonous eggs, air-breathing…but I suppose barbels are cool? 😅

hung out with some beetle people, mentioned fairy shrimp, and they mentioned a specialist ground beetle which is a fairy shrimp predator. how can you know that much of the story and then not know the best part, which is that the beetles only hunt at night because the shrimp GLOW IN THE DARK

We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

“This record-breaking response reflects Webb’s exceptional performance and unprecedented capacity to inspire the scientific community and to transform our understanding of the universe,” said STScI Director Jen Lotz. 🔭 ☄️
The demand to use #NASAWebb shows no signs of slowing! For its fifth year, researchers around the world submitted a record-breaking 2,900+ proposals.
The types of requests show astronomers are ready to answer even bolder scientific questions: https://bit.ly/4nYC0LS 🔭 🧪

Did you know. That the meme-explosion that was the wooden model of Sacabambaspis (an Ordovician jawless fish) held at a Museum in Helsinki, was created by a pioneering Estonian fish paleontologist and palaeoartist, Elga Mark-Kurik. 🧵

A non-fishhead bestie asked me "What is your pick for most underrated fish?" and of course I replied the eel. Etched in the history of many cultures, yet full of mystery across their metamorphosis and epic migrations between the open sea to rivers far inland. For "life cycle" #SundayFishSketch 🦑🐡🧪
