The famous Waitomo Glowworm Caves in New Zealand are home to millions of these creatures, transforming underground rivers into what feels like a real-life journey through a galaxy. Bioluminescence: The blue light comes from Arachnocampa luminosa, a unique glowworm species found only in New Zealand.

It wasn't his own puppy, but he protected it as if it were. The rain was pouring down, and this dog didn't move. He stayed put, covering the little kitten with his own body. Original post

Here’s a feed cleanser. Dogs catching treats.

I’m having a cat scan. Free. No charge.

The president of the United States is a sociopath. I'd love for him to sue me for saying that because then he'd have to prove he's not a sociopath. FDT!!!

Dear sweet Marvin crossed over the Rainbow Bridge last night. It was an honor to have him in our lives for the past 12 years.

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

Moon and Venus beautiful tonight

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

With memories of too many tragic space accidents since the 1960s, there were tears in my eyes, a lump in my throat, and a thankful prayer in my heart when Artemis splashed down safely. Thanks be to God and to all the intelligent minds who made this possible.

It's migration season! Monarch butterflies travel over 4,000 km to winter in Mexico's stunning oyamel forests. Witness the beauty of nature's incredible journey.

NASA’s Earth photos from Artemis inspired me to put this on today… 🙂 Getting lots of positive comments on it as I run errands…

Pure happiness ❤️

This is how Purpleheart re-grows after a freeze. You just can’t kill this stuff, not that we’d want to because wherever it grows, we don’t have to mow.

This is cool

Serious question: Is Barron Trump on the autism spectrum?
