Nature Is Metal

Keep This On The DL 📽 by @aagaefe Black-tufted Marmoset nibbles on an unidentified bird that is still very much alive. Do you know what Black-tufted Marmosets usually eat? It's not this. You can usually find them licking sap that they’ve gouged out of a tree or munching on some berries. Maybe even crushing insects if the mood strikes them. They are not, at all, known for tearing into live adult birds of any kind. Sure, if they come across a frog or a gecko they’ll probably toss that down their throat, they might even raid a nest and eat some bird eggs to fill the void when food is scarce, but that's about where it ends - or at least, where most people thought it did. Since there’s no footage of the marmoset actually catching the bird, the jury is still out on what exactly happened prior to this, but the marmoset is clearly treating the bird as prey. Unfortunately, I don't have all the answers for this one, but maybe someone out there wants to shed a little light on this for us - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nature Is Metal is powered by you!

Hubble Space Telescope

Two is better than one! In a sea of stars, two bright nebulae shine in this image released during Hubble's 27th year. They're situated so that they appear to be one cloud. Together, they're known as NGC 248 and are about 200,000 light-years away in the constellation Tucana. NGC 248 resides within the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf satellite galaxy of our Milky Way galaxy. These nebulae were first discovered in 1834 by astronomer Sir John Herschel. We're sharing one outstanding image from each year of Hubble’s mission to celebrate its upcoming 35th birthday – counting down to a new series of anniversary images! Stay tuned for more, and get caught up at the link in our bio! Image description: Pinkish red clouds of gas and dust shine in the center of a star-studded field of black space.

Hubble Space Telescope

Researchers using Hubble studied a magnetar in our galaxy – and nobody's sure where it came from. Magnetars are dead remnants of stars with extreme magnetic fields. For instance, if a magnetar flew by Earth at half the Moon’s distance, it would wipe out every credit card on our planet! Hubble has tracked this magnetar for years, and astronomers believe that it wasn't created in a supernova explosion as first predicted. Instead, it's so mysterious that it may even offer clues to the mechanism behind events known as fast radio bursts. Keep reading at the link in our bio! Image description: An artist’s impression of a magnetar, which is a special type of neutron star with an incredibly strong magnetic field. The neutron star at the center of the image is illustrated as a mottled blue-white sphere with a bright edge and streamers looping off it. Concentric blue lines wrap around the neutron star, like a cage, from upper right to lower left to symbolize the intense magnetic field the star possesses. The words “artist’s illustration” are at bottom right in white text. Image credit: ESA #NASA #Hubble #news #stars #science #astrophysics #astronomy #universe #cosmos #telescope

@facundo_carrizo24 takes you to one of the top waterfalls in the world. 💦 In Argentina’s Caviahue, you can find the Salto del Agrio waterfall that’s 60 meters tall. 🇦🇷 The composition of this site including iron and sulfur causes the stones to turn these different shades of orange, red, yellow, and green. 🧡 What’s the most beautiful waterfall you’ve seen? 📽 @facundo_carrizo24 📍 Salto del Agrio, Caviahue, Argentina 🎶 Maxence Cyrin - Where Is My Mind

A growing debate in the travel world is whether airlines should charge more for passengers who don’t fit in a standard seat. Some carriers already ask for an extra seat to be purchased, while others, like Southwest, offer it for free with possible refunds. It’s raising big questions about fairness, comfort, and inclusivity in the skies. What do you think—should size affect ticket price? 💺🤔

@lesleyannemurphy “the Drake Passage is the body of water between the tip of Argentina and Antarctica. It’s infamous for its extremely rough seas. If you’re lucky, you get the Drake Lake. If you’re like us, you get the Drake Shake with 35 ft waves”
