FfFfFfFF 58,068 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 As imaged by photographer Thorben Danke, a sleeping cuckoo wasp looks like a sparkling jewel. The skull of a false saber-toothed cat, an extinct type of feline-like carnivore, is cradled by head conservator Xènia Aymerich of the Catalan Institute of Paleontology Miquel Crusafont. On February 18, NASA’s Perseverance rover landed in Mars’s Jezero crater, lowered into place by a rocket-propelled “skycrane.” This wall-size panel of rock, sourced from Sterling Hill in New Jersey, glows in shades of red, orange, and green under an ultraviolet light in a newly renovated exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. The rock formed in a now-vanished ocean some 1.2 billion years ago. Rivulets of lava from Iceland’s ***radalsfjall volcano lurch toward a crowd of onlookers, as seen from the drone of photographer Chris Burkard. As captured by photographer Guillermo López López under 10-times magnification, these hibiscus pollen grains seem precariously balanced atop an anther, the structure of a flower that makes and disperses pollen.
