A million miles from Earth, JWST captured this image of the chaotic birth of a star on the far outskirts of our galaxy. Its remote, pristine location makes it a good analog of the ancient stars that shaped the early history of the cosmos. https://science.nasa.gov/missions/webb/nasas-webb-observes-immense-stellar-jet-on-outskirts-of-our-milky-way/ #space #science #astronomy

Golden aspens blanket the trail at Fish Lake, Utah, in a beautiful autumn display. More than beautiful—it's part of Pando, the largest living organism on Earth. Over 100 acres, sharing one vast root system, a living wonder of nature. Walking here feels like stepping through living history, every leaf connected to a single ancient being.https://rebeccaherranen.com/featured/fall-in-love-rebecca-herranen.html#nature #utah #photography #buyintoart #landscape #LandscapePhotography #art #photo #utah #fineartphotography #autumn #fall

This wasp can’t swallow the piece of chicken it’s cutting. That’s the downside of having a "wasp waist." But the larvae back in its nest can, and they secrete a liquid mush that the adults can drink. Alicante, Spain. Early September.iPhone 15 Pro main camera + lens for close focusing.Esta avispa no puede tragar el trozo de pollo que está cortando. Es el problema de tener una “cintura de avispa”. Pero las larvas de su nido si que pueden, y excretan una papilla líquida que si que pueden ingerir los adultos.Diese Wespe kann das Stück Hähnchen, das sie zerschneidet, nicht runterschlucken. Tja, das ist der Nachteil, wenn man eine "Wespentaille" hat. Aber die Larven in ihrem Nest können das schon, und die scheiden einen flüssigen Brei aus, den die erwachsenen Wespen problemlos schlürfen können.#macro #macrolens #macrophotography#insects #animals #nature#shotonmobile #shotoniphone#wasp

Good morning, friends. 10 September 2025Fifty-five years ago, give or take, I stood at the base of Mount Fujiyama in winter—with no pants. What happened was this...I was a Marine, fresh to cold weather training. We were out maneuvering, and that night we camped at elevation, pitching our pup tents in the snow. Each Marine carried a shelter half and a three-piece tent pole; two halves made one tent, a kind of forced partnership in nylon. We had cold-weather sleeping bags, too—issued, not chosen.Before lights out, we received instructions on how to sleep. One rule stood out: don’t sleep with your pants on—put them in the bag with you. I misunderstood slightly. Instead of tucking them inside the bag, I slid them between the sleeping bag and its canvas liner, thinking that was close enough.That night, the temperature dropped hard. Snow fell. By morning, everything was frozen solid. We were ordered to move out immediately. Our tents had to be beaten down with entrenching tools. My personal dilemma? My pants had frozen stiff. I couldn’t get them on. So there I was, marching through the hills in long johns, no pants, and a growing sense of regret.Not my proudest moment. I was eighteen, maybe nineteen—a late bloomer with a loose grip on the concept of “attention to detail.” Back then, I wasn’t exactly the brightest bulb in the bunch. But life has a way of teaching. Maturity works, and it tends to arrive eventually. These days, attention to detail isn’t just a habit—it’s a pet peeve. Earned the hard way, one frozen trouser leg at a time.“Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.” — John Dewey“The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail.” — Charles R.

"The Boss" Dieses Exemplar war nur unweit vom letzten Post entfernt. Er hat das Geschehen von weitem beobachtet. Die "angeknabberten" Ohren lassen auf Ritualkämpfe mit Konkurrenten zurückschliessen. This specimen was found not far from the last post. It observed the events from a distance. The "nibbled" ears suggest ritual fights with competitors. #Kargow, #Germany #fotografie #natur #naturfotografie #tiere #tierfotografie #photography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotographie #animals #animalsphotography #Feldhase #hare
