This is a 773 gram polished Chinga meteorite. The quarter-cut specimen was found in Turvinskaya, Russia and has been cut and polished on two sides. The rest of the meteorite retains its natural light brown crust, creating a dramatic contrast.

On #NationalBirdDay, we present one of the earliest known birds, Confuciusornis sanctus. Confuciusornis was similar to modern birds in that it had a toothless beak and feathers for flight; however, its prominent clawed forelimbs appear more similar to those of a dinosaur.

This video pans across 4 images captured with the right Mastcam-Z camera on NASA's Perseverance rover on February 6, 2024 (mission sol 1054), stitched together and adjusted to natural color. The sound is an actual recording of wind on Mars made by the rover on February 22, 2021.

⁉️ The Humber Stone may be in north Leicester, but it's actually a piece of Charnwood Forest... ♦️ Weighing around 20 tonnes, the boulder is made of granodiorite from Mountsorrel. ❄️ It was transported more than 5 miles to it's current location by a glacier 440,000 years ago!

This is cool.

Stunning!
