Located in the Southern Hemisphere, NGC 3324 is at the northwest corner of the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372), home of the Keyhole Nebula and the active, outbursting star Eta Carinae. The entire Carina Nebula complex is located at a distance of roughly 7,200 light-years, and lies in the constellation Carina.

Just completed and submitted the final version of my Extended Essay !!! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° 

So I compiled lists of words that I found super super useful in making it easier for me to finish any essay !! Here is a masterpost of some sort with transition words + key vocabs grouped together for easy access as well as an IB IOC ‘cheat sheet’ I used for my english LAL orals last year (though most commentaries follow a similar structure so its generalisable) ~

Good luck with your essays !!!

Engineers develop bone-like metal foam that can be ‘healed’ at room temperature

For 6,000 years, humans have been making things from metal because it’s strong and tough; a lot of energy is required to damage it. The flip side of this property is that a lot of energy is required to repair that damage. Typically, the repair process involves melting the metal with welding torches that can reach 6,300 °F.

Now, for the first time, Penn Engineers have developed a way to repair metal at room temperature. They call their technique “healing” because of its similarity to the way bones heal, recruiting raw material and energy from an external source.

The study was conducted by James Pikul, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics and Zakaria Hsain, a graduate student in his lab.

It was published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials.

I feel really bad for having to cut my list of classes down to half, but i will lose my sanity if i hand in this schedule as definite. Also classes in Spanish are obviously a whole new level od difficulty for me, even though i'm very good in Spanish.

Swimming Sea Cucumber (genus Enypniastes)

Species in this genus have developed webbed swimming structures at the front and back of their bodies which enable them to swim up off the surface of the sea floor and to journey as much as 1,000 m (3,300 ft) up into the water column. This is thought to help the animals move to new feeding grounds and avoid predators.

The enypniastes can be found mainly in the benthic zone of the ocean. They can be found all over the globe in many different regions. The enypniastes feed mostly on benthic sediment. They feed by pushing food into their mouths with their tentacles. They feed very quickly, staying on the seafloor for at most sixty four seconds. Since that is most enough time to feed fully, the enypniastes feed episodically…

Kalinga ornata

Kalinga ornata is a species of large, colourful nudibranch in the family Polyceridae. Kalinga ornata resides in the deep coastal waters of the Indo-West Pacific (though it has also been reported from Hawaii). Kalinga ornata is nocturnal, reaching sizes of at least 130 mm, and prefers sandy or silty substrate. It has been shown to feed on brittle stars, a completely unique diet for a nudibranch.
