In a canal in the Dutch city of Utrecht, fish are beginning to mass behind a lock called the Weerdsluis. Now, for the sixth year in a row, you can help them get the attention of the lock’s operators. The Fish Doorbell—or Visdeurbel in Dutch—is back.

Started in 2021, this project allows viewers around the world to monitor the feed from an underwater camera. When they see a fish that wants to move through the lock, they can ring the doorbell and alert operators to the finned animal waiting outside.

“The project is a good mix of doing something for nature and for people to join and do something,” says Anne Nijs, an ecologist for the city of Utrecht and one of the Fish Doorbell’s originators. http://spklr.io/6044DhUlp

It's happening tonight! ✨

Six worlds. One horizon. One unforgettable evening. 🪐
On February 28, skywatchers get a rare treat as Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter appear in the evening sky together, stretched along the ecliptic like pearls on a cosmic string.

Brilliant Jupiter steals the show in the east near the twins of Gemini, glowing close to a bright, nearly full Moon. Higher up, Uranus hides beneath the Pleiades in Taurus—binoculars will help you spot it.

Toward the west, the real challenge begins. Venus shines low in the fading twilight, while Mercury and Saturn hover near the horizon, racing the setting Sun. Neptune lingers nearby but requires a telescope and perfect timing.

In one sweep of your eyes, you’re witnessing planets separated by billions of kilometers—sharing the same sky for a brief moment in time. Step outside and look up. 🌌
