Stones and a shadow.

The stones are on Mars.

The shadow is from a nuclear-battery-powered robot.

Earthrise.

A remarkable view of Earth hoving into view as the Apollo 8 command module flew over the lunar surface.

That's us. That's home.

On the winter solstice, the Sun rises and shines down the length of the 5,100-year-old Newgrange passage tomb in County Meath, Ireland.

Remarkable designing and implementation by the Neolithic engineers who built it.

Good morning! It’s quite cold: -4°C/25°F with a “real feel” of -11°C/12°F.

But that won’t stop me bringing you your 3 minutes of peace & calm!

Can you spot the seals?

Polar bears are intelligent and will look for ways to keep busy when they have nothing better to do. Gnawing on this dry carcass is exactly that - a mindless way to pass the time while waiting for the bay to freeze. #BearSeason2025 #mammals 🌿
