    11 history-making Mars Perseverance rover moments, captured on camera

    Quartz and some of the associated minerals that give it color enter into the fossilizing process as solutions, gels, and sols.  Although they move as liquids, gels and sols are made up of very small particles bound together by weak electrical bonds.  In this specimen, the linear arrays of small round structures were produced by local condensations of particulate mineral.  During their consolidation, small puddles of pigment formed that are unrelated to the structure of the bone itself.

    A partying caterpillar and a bridge made of ants: The winners of the National Insect Week Photo Competition

    Yesterday evening again two polar bears came close to our ship. Probably they were the same we saw already a couple of days before our arrival at the floe. Nobody was out on the ice when the bears appeared and there was no danger for the expedition’s participants. The bears stayed several minutes around Polarstern and the ice camp. For our own safety and for the safety of the polar bears we don’t want them to get used to be our neighbors. The expedition’s lead and professional polar bear guards therefore chased them with a flare gun. The bears have not been injured and left the area immediately. This procedure agrees with the complex safety concept of the MOSAiC expedition. October 10, 2019, Esther Horvath

Los moldes de yeso de lo que se cree eran un hombre rico y su esclavo que huían de la erupción del volcán Vesuvio hace casi 2.000 años se ven en lo que era una finca elegante en las afueras de la antigua ciudad romana de Pompeya, destruida por la erupción de 79 d.C.
