Planning a visit to Mauritius? The island’s magical underwater waterfall should be the first stop on your itinerary. Mauritius is a slice of heaven I’ll always want to return to (and, full disclosure, I quite literally just got back from a trip). This peaceful island nation showcases the finest of mother nature, from luscious rainforests teeming with wildlife to sun-kissed beaches and o
The MBARI remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Doc Ricketts spotted what the Institute describes as a “billowing crimson curtain.” This giant phantom jellyfish (Stygiomedusa gigantea) is more than one meter (3.3 feet) across and trails four ribbon-like oral (or mouth) arms that can grow more than 10 meters (33 feet) in length. MBARI says it has logged thousands of dives, but this particular speci
During our trip in Peru, we saw many examples of Inca architecture, which features precisely cut and shaped stones closely fitted without mortar. The above picture was taken in a street of Cuzco, the erstwhile capital of the Incas. The Inca's masonry methods are essentially lost, though many scientists have tried to explain how the Incas transported these large stones, cut them precisely so that t
In mid-May, Zachary Hackett was on a solo hike on a mountain in Summit County, Colorado. He'd gone off the trail and was about to turn back before the sun set. But just before beginning his descent, he heard something strange coming from behind a few fallen trees. “I was not on a trail, and I was hastily backtracking the way I came because it was getting dark and the preferred routes off the
Mount Merapi is the most active volcano in Indonesia, frequently spewing lava and ash from its mouth. As it has erupted regularly since the 16th century, it's no wonder that the name loosely translates to “Mountain of Fire.” A regular favorite of photographers, Mount Merapi it's quite commonly documented. But photographer Gunarto Song was in for something very special during a recent photosh
It’s truly heartbreaking how cruel some people can be to animals. We’ve seen too many stories of pets tossed away like garbage. That was the case for one poor kitten, who was put in a paper bag and left in a dumpster — but thankfully this cat is safe now thanks to some kind rescuers. According to a Facebook post from Angels of Assisi, an animal shelter in Roanoke, Virginia, a local ho
Fossil of a beetle inside a lizard inside a snake – an ancient food chain Paleontologists have uncovered a fossil that has preserved an insect inside a lizard inside a snake – a prehistoric battle of the food chain that ended in a volcanic lake some 48 million years ago. Pulled from an abandoned quarry in southwest Germany called the Messel Pit, the fossil is only the second of its kind ev
Scientists have discovered a rare planet that's around twice the size of Earth and covered by oceans. Featured Image Credit: Flickr / Panther Media GmbH / Alamy Stock Photo Snappily named TOI-733b, it's just one of more than 5,000 exoplanets that we know about after the first was discovered in the 1990s. TOI-733b was found 245 light-years away by NASA's telescope, TESS.
There's one particular gaff in the UK which has become somewhat famous over the years - given it's very bizarre location. Arguably one of the most well-known homes in the north of England, the abode in questions lies right in the middle of the middle of M62 - and I mean right in the middle. And the original lodger? None other than farmer Ken Wild who has since helped reveal
It’s the middle of summer; the sun is shining and we’re spending plenty of time outdoors just soaking it up! Here’s one guy who is clearly very excited about summer. Well, grizzly bear, to be more specific. The bear named Bruiser lives in Single Vision, a nature conservation center in Florida, USA, which cares and preserves endangered species.
