In Antarctica, there is an active volcano called Mount Erebus that releases tiny particles of real gold into the air. It does not shoot big shiny gold chunks like a cartoon treasure chest. Scientists reported that its volcanic gases can carry microscopic crystallized gold particles, with an estimated 80 grams of gold a day. These particles are so tiny and spread out that they have even been found up to 1,000 km away from the volcano.

China is really putting some data centers underwater. Instead of building every server room on land, engineers seal the servers inside strong metal cabins and place them on the seabed near the coast. The ocean water helps cool the machines naturally, so they need less power for air-conditioning. One Hainan system was placed about 35 meters underwater, and Shanghai has a newer wind-powered underwater project for AI and cloud computing.

One teaspoon of honey is the lifetime work of about 12 bees. That tiny spoonful comes from roughly 30,000 flower visits and about 750 miles of bee flight.

In parts of Africa, wild greater honeyguide birds really can help people find honey. The birds chatter, fly from tree to tree, and lead honey hunters toward hidden wild bee nests. People also use special local calls to ask for the birds’ help, like the Yao “brrr-hm” call in Mozambique. After humans open the nest and collect the honey, the honeyguides can eat the leftover beeswax and larvae. It is one of the rare cases where wild animals and humans work together without training.

Researchers found that roundhead parrotfish can spend up to an hour making this cocoon before sleep. In one study, fish with intact cocoons had far fewer parasite bites than fish whose cocoons were removed. Scientists think the cocoon may block parasites physically, chemically, or by hiding the fish’s smell.

Airplane windows do not always line up with seats because the windows are built into the aircraft body, but the seats are arranged later by the airline. Airlines can choose different cabin layouts, seat spacing, business-class sections, extra-legroom rows, galleys, and lavatories. That means the same type of plane can have different numbers of seats depending on the airline.

And yes, I'm still influenced by the fic "The Three Brothers"

Say hi Sora.

Clouds float because their water is not sitting in one giant bucket. It is spread out as billions of tiny water droplets or ice crystals. Each droplet is so small that air can hold it up for a long time, especially when gentle rising air pushes upward. Clouds can contain a lot of water, but that water spreads across a huge space. When the droplets join together and become heavy enough, they fall as rain.

That it wasn't really about sex or romance, but the feeling of (being grounded by a deep connection?) peace (and safety) that Fenris simply hadn't known in his current life - in slavery and on the run and wouldn't likely experience with Izzy (i love you, but come on), but had felt when he had his family with him, and Hawke made him remember what it's like.

Over the years.

In Australia, a family found a real ocean time capsule on Wedge Island. The message in the bottle had been thrown from the German ship Paula in 1886 as part of an ocean-current experiment. It was found 131 years and 223 days later.

In Germany, it is illegal to kill any vertebrate animal without a valid reason, such as illness or posing a danger to humans. As a result, all animal shelters in the country operate as no-kill facilities.
