Typical Vulcanian Eruption! A lot of lava boms thrown up from the crater!

Ammonites on Matrix (Quenstedtoceras sp., Jurassic) - Volga River, Ulyanovsk, Russia

This extremely artistic assemblage of large and small ammonites from Russia demonstrate an intense iridescence and highlights due to the presence of metallic Pyrite. The cluster has been positioned on a new matrix, as the grainy rock in which these Quenstedtoceras cephalopods were collected is not hard nor stable enough to display them permanently. The added component is an attractive piece of what is known as septarian, a mud-like material that grows in nodules. In this instance, yellowish Calcite crystals and gray sediment have formed the rock on which these colorful ammonites reside. The cluster is quite representative of the Volga River material, and that combination results in a dramatic display specimen.

Overall Measurements: 6.30 x 5.51 x 5.71 inches (16.00 x 14.00 x 14.50 cm)

Researchers design a functioning artificial womb

Researchers have designed an artificial womb-like device that could drastically change the way we care for extremely premature babies. The device, which has been used successfully with lambs, mimics the environment of a real womb. It’s designed to allow critically preterm infants to continue developing as they normally would.

The Bortle Scale and Light Pollution

The Bortle Scale is used by astronomers to rate the darkness of our skies. It ranges from 1 (darkest) to 9 (brightest). For most of us, our daily lives are spent beneath a radiance level of between 5 and 8 and rarely venture into areas ranked 3 or darker- and what a shame that is.

Light pollution, while a testament to our technological advances, has blanketed our view of the universe and decoupled our relationship with the cosmos. For the millions of people living in areas where less than 20 stars can be seen in the night sky, it is practically impossible to imagine a natural sky blanketed with upwards of 2,500 stars backed by great ribbons of billions of stars which can be found in our Galaxy: The Milky Way.

What are the effects of light pollution?
