NASA’s Psyche Spacecraft Captures Earth and Moon from Deep Space
in July 2025, NASA’s Psyche spacecraft turned its cameras back toward Earth and captured something breathtaking a picture of our planet and the Moon from 180 million miles away. From this incredible distance, Earth and its companion appear only as two tiny specks of light, sparkling against the stars. While this may look simple, it’s a remarkable achievement that serves both as a scientific test and a humbling reminder of our place in the universe. This moment instantly recalls the famous “Pale Blue Dot” image taken by Voyager 1 decades ago, showing Earth as a fragile dot in the vastness of space.

Gut Flora: The Tiny “Second Brain” in Your Stomach That Controls Mood & Health
The Human Gut Microbiome: Our “Second Brain” The human gut is home to trillions of tiny organisms bacteria, viruses, fungi, and even archaea. Together, these microorganisms form the gut microbiome, a complex community that lives mainly in our intestines. Far from being just “passengers,” they play a vital role in keeping us healthy. Scientists even call the gut the “second brain” because it communicates closely with our nervous system, affecting not only digestion but also mood, memory, and overall well-being.

A Dinosaur with Sail Discovered on Isle of wight
A Striking New Find Imagine walking along the Isle of Wight’s beaches in southern England and stumbling upon fossils from a creature that lived 125 million years ago. That’s exactly what happened with the discovery of Istiorachis macarthurae, a new species of dinosaur. What makes this herbivore special is a sail-like structure running along its back and tail a feature that has sparked excitement and debate among paleontologists. This dinosaur belongs to the iguanodontians, a group of plant-eating dinosaurs closely related to the well-known Iguanodon. Unlike most of its relatives, however, Istiorachis stands out with its exaggerated neural spines that formed the “sail.”

Why Salamanders Can Regrow Limbs, but Humans Can’t
Introduction Salamanders, especially the axolotl, have an amazing power that has puzzled scientists for hundreds of years they can regrow lost body parts. If an axolotl loses a leg, it doesn’t stay gone forever. Within just a few weeks, the animal can grow it back, complete with bones, muscles, nerves, and skin. What’s even more surprising is that this ability isn’t limited to legs; axolotls can also repair parts of their heart, lungs, and even brain.
