"This inside-out view of a cauliflower soft coral (Eunephthya thyrsoidea) in the Lembeh Strait in Indonesia, reveals its forest-like inner architecture, formed by tiny, rounded polyps that create the coral's puffy texture. The red lines in the image show the coral's sclerites - thin spiny pieces of calcium carbonate that support the animal's soft body."
"Researchers at the European Space Agency's European Space Astronomy Centre in Madrid identified six previously unknown astrophysical objects. They used an artificial-intelligence tool to search nearly 100 million archival images captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The discoveries included a galaxy with a swirling core and two open lobes on its sides - a type of feature that was not known to astronomers."
"Twenty-five thousand residents of Niscemi, a town on the Italian island of Sicily, have been living precariously on the edge of a newly formed cliff. A 4-kilometre landslide tore away one side of the hilltop following severe weather brought by Storm Harry in January. Local authorities evacuated more than 1,600 people."
A photographer captured an award-winning close-up image of a cauliflower soft coral's internal structure, revealing its polyps and calcium carbonate support structures. Researchers at the European Space Agency used artificial intelligence to analyze Hubble Space Telescope images and identified six previously unknown astrophysical objects, including galaxies with unusual features and merging galaxies. In Sicily, a 4-kilometre landslide created a cliff threatening 25,000 residents of Niscemi following Storm Harry, resulting in evacuations and property damage. A greater Bermuda snail, a critically endangered species once thought extinct, is being reintroduced to its native habitat from Chester Zoo.
