Many stories of haunted houses may be related to Cyclosa imago, also known as the Haunting Spider.
When a colony settles an abandoned building, they collectively defend against human intrusion by forming dense webs, which have been interpreted as ghostly apparitions.

I've read about ZTF SLRN-2020 event where a star basically ate it's own planet. So I decided to try and depict this from a planet's perspective. It's atmosphere evaporating and getting ripped away by the star. #SciArt #spaceart #astronomy

For some reason the additive formula for binomial coefficients is often proven using the formulas for the binomial coefficients, even though there is a way better combinatorial proof.
Just remember that n choose k is how many ways there are to choose k balls out of n.

Feel like a fish out of water? Meet the giant mudskipper! This fish needs to breathe air & spends a decent amount of time on land! Found on the muddy shores of mangroves in parts of Southeast Asia, it uses its pectoral fins to “walk” across mudflats.
