Astronomy Picture of the Day

Desert Stairway to Heaven

Explanation: This stairway in Chile brings you only a little bit closer to heaven. But ooh, the sky above it makes you wonder. For example, you may wonder about the dark lane of our own Milky Way galaxy rising behind the expansive Atacama Desert in Chile, the band of zodiacal light on the upper left, the green and red airglow just above the horizon, the star Spica in the zodiacal light stripe, and, at the very top on the right, the Small Magellanic Cloud galaxy. The Desert Staircase sculpture is in the foreground, and this image was timed to catch the picturesque peering perch just in front of the near-vertical Milky Way band. Upon close inspection of the horizon you can find, left to right, some Andes Mountains, the Licancabur volcano, and the town lights of San Pedro de Atacama. The featured wide-angle composite was captured in July 2025.

Wacky & Weird Facts: Animals Part 22

Researchers aboard the Okeanos Explorer came across the world’s largest sea sponge. It was found 7,000 feet below the ocean surface and measured 12 feet long and 7 feet wide.

Dolphins can’t chew their food. Their teeth are only used to grip food and they’ll shake and rub it on the ocean floor to tear it into more manageable pieces.

A frog’s tongue is about a third of the length of its entire body. In comparison, if a human had the same size tongue, it would reach our belly button.

Seahorse babies eat as much as 3,000 pieces of food a day. They have such a voracious appetite because they have no stomach and their digestive system has been described as inefficient, meaning that they must eat a lot in order to stay properly nourished.

Wild dogs operate under a strict hierarchy while wolves will actually cooperate and communicate with each other to make decisions as a group.
