Rainbow eucalyptus is a fast-growing evergreen that is native to tropical regions of the world.
The most striking feature is the trunk which grows rainbow bark. As the tree grows, the bark peels off in strips to reveal new colors and patterns. 🌈

Nature is amazing. Protect it. #BlueEarth

Since the new bridge is almost three times longer than this one we predict bison jams will take a lot longer as well. Difficult prediction that one.

The solution is to save the old bridge, save the tens of millions it would take to remove it and showcase it as a wildlife overpass.

Bison are pretty hard on an old bridge. Built in the 60s it's falling apart and the parks concerned in make it till they finish the new bridge, which is running behind schedule.

This herd likely weighs more than a line of cars and campers.

Greeting you on Bluesky with this reminder

They are living, thinking, feeling beings

And they deserve our respect, even if we haven't earned theirs.

One love

RCW 49, located in the Milky Way, is a bustling star-forming region 13,700 light-years away in the constellation Centaurus.
Its glowing hydrogen gas and dark molecular clouds are sculpted by intense stellar winds from newly formed massive stars. This nebula is home to over 2,200 young stars, many hidden within its dense dust clouds. It provides crucial insights into the birth and early evolution of stars.

These stars have a lot of energy to let loose!
The two stars at the center of this James Webb Space Telescope image appear as an orange-white splotch. They are ingesting and ejecting gas and dust … over and over. Millions of years from now, they’ll clear the scene.

When the James Webb Space Telescope observed the Horsehead Nebula in infrared light earlier this year, it took this sharp image of the top of the horse’s “mane,” a distinctive dust and gas structure.

The Whirlpool Galaxy is a spiral galaxy located 31 million light-years away. Also known as M51, it highlights the attributes of a typical spiral galaxy, including graceful, curving arms, pink star-forming regions, and brilliant blue strands of star clusters.

Lagoon Nebula (Visible-light View)
This colorful image, taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, celebrates the Earth-orbiting observatory’s 28th anniversary of viewing the heavens, giving us a window seat to the universe’s extraordinary tapestry of stellar birth and destruction. At the center of the photo, a monster young star 200,000 times brighter than our Sun is blasting powerful ultraviolet radiation and hurricane-like stellar winds, carving out a fantasy landscape of ridges, cavities, and mountains of gas and dust. This mayhem is all happening at the heart of the Lagoon Nebula, a vast stellar nursery located 4,000 light-years away and visible in binoculars simply as a smudge of light with a bright core. The giant star, called Herschel 36, is bursting out of its natal cocoon of material, unleashing blistering radiation and torrential stellar winds (streams of subatomic particles) that push dust away in curtain-like sheets. This action resembles the Sun bursting through the clouds at the end of an afternoon thunderstorm that showers sheets of rainfall. Herschel 36’s violent activity has blasted holes in the bubble-shaped cloud, allowing astronomers to study this action-packed stellar breeding ground. The hefty star is 32 times more massive and eight times hotter than our Sun. It is nearly nine times our Sun’s diameter. Herschel 36 is still very active because it is young by a star’s standards, only 1 million years old. Based on its mass, it will live for another 5 million years. In comparison, our smaller Sun is 5 billion years old and will live another 5 billion years. This region epitomizes a typical, raucous stellar nursery full of birth and destruction. The clouds may look majestic and peaceful, but they are in a constant state of flux from the star’s torrent of searing radiation and high-speed particles from stellar winds. As the monster star throws off its natal cocoon of material with its powerful energy, it is suppressing star formation around it. However, at the dark edges of this …
