The extreme gravity of a black hole is so strong that it slows down time for anyone who approaches it. A minute near the event horizon could be equivalent to years on Earth. Literally, time is warped.

After nearly 700,000 years of inactivity, the Taftān volcano in southeastern Iran has shown signs that it might be waking up. Recent satellite measurements detected a 9 cm uplift at its peak between 2023 and 2024, indicating potential underground pressure from gases or moving magma.

Butterfly legs are covered in chemoreceptors, small structures that detect chemical compounds. This means that when they land on a leaf, they literally 'taste' with their feet to determine if the plant is suitable for laying their eggs. This is key because newly hatched caterpillars can only feed on very specific plants; if the butterfly makes a mistake, its offspring will die.

Even though they look light and fluffy, clouds are made of millions of microscopic water droplets suspended in the air. They float because the warm, moist air beneath them is less dense, creating an upward force that keeps them suspended. For example, an average cumulus cloud can contain up to 500 tons of water—basically the weight of 100 adult elephants.

Something that seemed impossible has just happened: Iceland, one of the few places on the planet without mosquitoes, has just recorded its first specimens. Scientists detected the species Culiseta annulata near Reykjavik, something they attribute directly to rising temperatures and the warmer, more humid conditions caused by climate change.

In Adélie and Gentoo penguin colonies, males show their interest in a female by offering her a special stone. It isn’t just any rock: they look for one that is smooth, shiny, and just the right size. If the female accepts it and places it in her nest, she is saying 'yes' to the pairing. It is their equivalent of an engagement ring

Some species of young spiders cast silk threads into the air and let themselves be carried by natural electric currents in the atmosphere, in a phenomenon called 'electric ballooning.' They don’t need wind: they detect the electric fields that form between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere, and their silk becomes charged, creating a force that propels them upward; this way, they can travel kilometers or even cross oceans while floating.
