🎧 Ever notice how a plane sounds higher-pitched as it approaches, and lower as it moves away?

That’s the Doppler effect in action.

- Sound waves compress as the object moves closer
- They stretch as it moves away
- Your ears pick up this change in pitch

🧭 The Arctic tern flies 56,000 miles from pole to pole every year—and it doesn’t use Google Maps.

How does it navigate?

A built-in magnetic compass in its eye helps it “see” Earth’s magnetic field and stay on course.

Took a 15-minute microadventure through my neighborhood—nearly 4 miles of quiet streets, looping paths, and morning sun. Just when I wasn’t expecting anything special, this stunning modern home stopped me in my tracks. 🏡✨

Dolphins have been known to commit infanticide and use baby dolphins as bait to lure females. Nature’s not all Flipper. #DolphinFacts #Ologies #HardFascination 🧠

Watching dolphins play just for the joy of it? That’s called “inconsequential play,” and it’s not just adorable—it might be key to understanding intelligence. #Ologies #Dolphins #SoftFascination 🐬
