Long before there were trees, the Earth was overrun by giant mushrooms. Fungi first showed up over a billion years ago as three-metre-tall fungus fingers that dominated the landscape, while plants have been around for a paltry 700 million years debuting as scruffy shrubs. A billion or so years on, the humble ‘shroom is an unlikely champion in the war against plastic waste thanks to the discovery
It may look like a Stone Age skatepark, but the Wave is all-natural. Very few rock features in the world can compare to the Wave in Arizona. With its swirling layers and undulating forms, this trippy rock formation is not only an Instagrammable sight, but also a geological wonder that's been 190 million years in the making. The Wave can be found in the Coyote Buttes North area of the Colorado
Twice a Year, Reindeer Eyes Pull Off a Wonderful Magic Trick The Arctic can stay perpetually dark for months. Reindeer cope by changing part of their eyes from gold to blue. Of all the eyeballs in Glen Jeffery’s office, only a very small minority are his. “Oh, I’ve got an office full of eyes,” Jeffery, a neuroscientist at University College London, told me.

The Muckross Abbey Yew Tree: Ireland’s 500-Year-Old Living Landmark in Killarney National Park When I visited Ireland with my family in the Summer of 2015, we visited a place called Muckross Abbey in Killarney National Park located in Killarney.

A new NASA animation highlights the “super” in supermassive black holes. These monsters lurk in the centers of most big galaxies, including our own Milky Way, and contain between 100,000 and tens of billions of times more mass than our Sun. All monster black holes are not equal. Watch this video to see how they compare to each other and to our solar system. The black holes shown, which ra
Norway Is the World’s First Nation to Ban Deforestation Norway’s deforestation ban is a commitment to deforestation-free supply chains. It means that Norwegians will refuse to award government contracts to companies that engage in clear-cutting. Norway is the first country in the world to commit to no longer using any products that contribute to deforestation. That’s pretty rema

3I/ATLAS is the third-ever interstellar object discovered. A rare but faint interstellar visitor from beyond our solar system is racing toward the sun — and you can watch it live online today! Astronomers have identified this cosmic interloper as 3I/ATLAS, making it only the third confirmed object from outside the solar system after 'Oumuamua (2017) and comet 2I/Borisov (2019). T
In one of the driest places on earth, the Atacama Desert, a flower blanket occurs every time the right amount of rainfall and temperature come together to awaken long-dormant seeds. This phenomenon generates an entire ecosystem of insects, reptiles, and birds that need to be protected. Our home editor, Nicole Saffie, experienced this phenomenon in first-person during 2021. photo_cam
