Happy Ctenophore Day!
These glowing ocean drifters look like jellyfish but aren’t! They’re comb jellies, shimmering creatures that light up the sea with rows of beating cilia 💙🌈
Which species can you identify? 👀 Most are raised in @pawelburkhardt.bsky.social lab

Here is the NASA Science Calendar Image of the Month, September 2025: Arctic sea ice in the Lincoln Sea north of Greenland.
The image should help us to think about our fragile planet and how to protect it.

Happy Birthday to arctic explorer Francis Leopold McClintock, born on this day in 1819. McLintock is best remembered for leading the expedition that discovered the "Victory Point Note", and confirmed John Rae's testimony on the fate of the lost Franklin Expedition of 1845.
