Zachary Gutierrez+FollowLakes That Literally Catch Fire?!Ever seen a lake burst into flames? Turns out, methane trapped under ice or in polluted water can make the air above a lake totally flammable. Scientists have lit frozen lakes in Alaska and watched fire race across the surface, while in India, polluted city lakes like Bellandur have actually caught fire for hours. It’s wild, but also a huge warning: climate change and pollution are making our water burn—literally. Water that burns? Not a good sign for the planet. #Science #MethaneLakes #ClimateChange00Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowQuantum Physics Just Got WeirderScientists just found a quantum state that basically flips the script on what we thought was possible. Imagine electrons acting like a team, creating a sideways electric current (the Hall effect) with zero magnetic field—something that should be impossible! Turns out, when you chill certain materials to near absolute zero, electrons stop behaving like individuals and start moving as one, unlocking new, totally bizarre phases of matter. The quantum world is wilder than we ever imagined! #Science #QuantumPhysics #ScienceNews00Share
Michelle York+FollowBlack Hole Secrets Just Got JuicierNASA’s James Webb Space Telescope just dropped a cosmic bombshell: turns out, most of the hot dust glowing around a supermassive black hole isn’t from wild outflows, but from a super-heated, donut-shaped ring feeding the beast. This totally flips what scientists thought they knew! Webb’s sharp vision is giving us the clearest peek yet at these mysterious space monsters—and there are millions more to check out. Space is wilder than we thought! #Science #JamesWebb #BlackHole00Share
James Brady+FollowFlorida manta rays: Nature’s moving habitatsManta rays off the Florida coast aren’t just impressive to watch—they’re actually creating mobile ecosystems as they glide through the water. Researchers found that young Caribbean manta rays often swim with groups of other fish, forming tight-knit communities where everyone benefits. These rays act like floating safe zones, offering protection and even nursery grounds for smaller fish. By looking after manta rays, we’re also helping countless other marine species—and, in turn, supporting the health of our oceans and our own coastal livelihoods. How do you think we can better protect these gentle giants and their underwater neighborhoods? #Science #FloridaWildlife #MantaRays10Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowAntarctica’s Ice Is Melting Faster Than We ThoughtAntarctica’s ice sheets are getting hit from both sides—warming air AND water are teaming up to melt them way faster than scientists expected. Turns out, it’s not just the ocean heat causing trouble. This “one-two punch” could speed up sea level rise, mess with ocean currents, and even shake up global seafood supplies. The wild part? Everyday pollution from our cities is reaching the poles and making things worse. Time to rethink those small eco-friendly swaps! #Science #Antarctica #ClimateChange60Share
Tamara Jones+FollowDid We Just Find a Cosmic Tunnel?!Turns out, our solar system might be connected to other stars by a literal interstellar tunnel made of hot plasma. Scientists using the eRosita X-ray telescope just mapped a weird, low-density channel stretching from our cosmic neighborhood toward distant constellations. Basically, space isn’t just empty—there are hidden ‘backroads’ linking us to the stars, shaped by ancient supernovas. How wild is that? Space just got a whole lot more interesting! #Science #SpaceDiscovery #Interstellar10Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowSpace Jobs: Who’s Really Going to Work Up There?Everyone’s hyped about living in space, but here’s the wild part: in 15 years, it might be cheaper to send working-class folks to orbit than to build better robots. But who’s looking out for their rights? Space isn’t all floating fun—think no air, no water, and your boss controls it all. Plus, the fight over who gets to own space rocks is heating up. Are we just turning the moon into a cosmic gas station? #Science #SpaceEthics #FutureOfWork01Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowLost Plate Fragment Shakes Up Earthquake ScienceJust when we thought we had the San Andreas and Cascadia faults figured out, scientists found a hidden chunk of ancient oceanic plate wedged right at their junction. This “Pioneer Fragment” means the West Coast’s earthquake puzzle is way more complicated than we thought—think five moving pieces, not three. It could even help explain how mega-quakes might ripple from the Pacific Northwest down to California. Our earthquake models just got a major upgrade! #Science #earthquake #SanAndreas10Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowMaryland’s blue catfish problem could be dinnerBlue catfish are taking over Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay, gobbling up blue crabs and threatening the local ecosystem—and the state’s beloved crab feasts. But here’s the twist: officials want everyone to help by eating more catfish! These invaders are surprisingly tasty, with mild, white flesh that’s perfect for frying or grilling. By putting blue catfish on our plates, we can support local fishermen, protect native species, and maybe even start a new food trend. Would you swap your usual seafood order for catfish if it helped the Bay? Let’s talk recipes and what this means for Maryland traditions! #Science #MarylandEats #ChesapeakeBay10Share
