Incredible close-up view of a sunspot the size of Earth on the surface of the Sun filmed by the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope. Sunspots are regions of reduced surface temperature caused by intense magnetic fields.

The universe is… beige?
In 2002, astronomers found that the average color of everything in the univerise that emits or reflects light is a color called ‘cosmic latte.’ It’s a beige hue very close to white.
At least it’s not millennial gray.

- One of the most detailed studies of earthworm activities was conducted by Charles Darwin.
- The earthworm body is divided into up to 150 ringlike segments. Some internal organs, including the excretory organs, are duplicated in each segment.

Maybe it's just me but I feel very sad that the United States has a #measles tracker in 2025, when we have had a vaccine that is 97% effective for over 50 years.
