Two years ago today was one of the most thrilling moments of my life when I captured this sunrise eruption of Guatemala's Volcán de Fuego.

#DYK Rajveer Meena of India, recited the first 70,000 decimal places of π in 2015?

In 2021, π was calculated to over 62.8 trillion decimal places by computers.

The earliest known calculation of π is dated to ancient Egypt ~1650 BCE!

As biodiversity declines toward a mass extinction, ecosystems deteriorate - and that means that ecosystem services deteriorate - and that means that more species go extinct.

Forests are taken for granted as baselines shift across generations.

"As tropical #forests become increasingly degraded, they lose their functional characteristics, as small-seeded, soft-wood, fast-growing trees have less ability to store carbon, are less resistant to fire and drought, and generally die younger." 🌏 news.mongabay.com/2025/01/stud...

An InSight of Changes on Mars

We caught a glimpse of the retired InSight lander to document the accumulation of dust on the spacecraft’s solar panels that have acquired the same reddish-brown hue as the rest of the planet.

The #core of the #Earth spins around a slightly different axis compared to the #mantle. In this animation we start in a space frame and switch gradually to the frame spinning with the mantle. In that frame the core appears to wobble. The mantle precesses and the core, being fluid, lags a bit. 🧪 🔭
