"The Congo Basin is the world's largest net carbon sink among tropical forests — absorbing up to 6x more CO₂ annually than the Amazon in some estimates. Yet it receives a fraction of the attention and funding. Africa’s green lung needs the world’s support NOW." #CongoBasin

Last night, the sky recreated something ancient humans may have stood frozen watching thousands of years ago. 🌙✨ A razor-thin crescent Moon appeared between brilliant Venus and giant Jupiter directly above Stonehenge — one of Earth’s oldest mysteries. Just ancient stones beneath a perfectly timed celestial alignment. For a few moments after sunset, the same sky once watched by forgotten civilizations returned above England. And somehow… we’re alive to witness it too. 🌌 [United States]

Amazon + Congo = 2/3 of Earth’s tropical rainforest. Together they: ✅ Store 250B tons of carbon ✅ Drive rainfall for 4 continents ✅ House 20% of all species We’re logging both for short-term cash. What’s the long-term price? 👇

There's a planet out there with no land. None. Just water — deeper than anything on Earth — wrapping the entire world from pole to pole. It's bigger than ours. It's real. And it has a name: TOI-1452 b.

The Alaskan winter is absolutely insane.🌬️🤍 It is absolutely mind-blowing to think that this isn't a sculpture carved by human hands, but a living masterpiece designed by wind, water, and time. ❄️🌿 The sheer geometric perfection of the canopy—with thousands of branches perfectly frosted and reaching out in unison—is a humbling reminder that nature is the world's greatest architect.

Deforestation is not “development.” It is ecocide,turning carbon sinks into carbon bombs,wiping out gorillas, elephants,and thousands of species, & triggering droughts that hit farmers hardest. In 2025 the Congo Basin primary forest loss hit records.The science is screaming.

A team of astronomers has identified what appears to be a completely new class of exoplanet. The planet, known as L 98-59 d and located about 35 light-years away, initially seemed to fit into familiar categories such as a rocky planet with a hydrogen atmosphere or a water-rich ocean world. However, observations from the JWST, combined with detailed computer simulations, revealed a different internal structure: a vast, long-lived ocean of molten rock beneath the surface that stores large amounts of sulfur and continuously interacts with the planet’s atmosphere. This molten interior helps explain several otherwise puzzling features, including the planet’s unusually low density and the presence of sulfur-bearing gases like hydrogen sulfide in its atmosphere. Rather than being a thin surface layer, the magma appears to extend deep into the planet, acting as a reservoir that traps and slowly releases gases over billions of years, stabilizing a thick, hydrogen-rich atmosphere that would otherwise be lost to space. The models suggest that L 98-59 d may have formed as a larger, more gas-rich planet and gradually evolved into its current state, retaining enough heat and atmospheric pressure to keep much of its interior molten for nearly five billion years. This implies that what astronomers are seeing is not just an exotic outlier, but potentially a missing category of planet shaped by the interplay between magma, sulfur chemistry, and atmospheric evolution. The discovery indicates that current classification schemes for exoplanets may be too simplistic and that many worlds previously interpreted as familiar types could hide very different internal structures. Although such a planet is far too extreme to support life, it provides a rare window into early planetary evolution, since many rocky planets, including Earth, likely passed through magma-ocean stages that later solidified. Finding a world where that state persists offers a way to study processes that are otherwise inaccessible, and suggests that similarly molten, sulfur-rich planets may be more common in the galaxy than previously assumed. 👉 share.google/CMXjhs5JUNkvgG…
