Rocks-everywhere - Science, Plants, Cats, Music, And More

Scientists at the University of Minnesota put 3D glasses on cuttlefish, who then used stereo data to place themselves at a consistent distance from the illusionary expected 3D location of the prey.

Steamboat Geyser, in Yellowstone National Park’s Norris Geyser Basin, is the world’s tallest currently-active geyser. And here we see it erupting. Impressive!

Steamboat geyser has been erupting pretty often for the last year and a half - not shooting the full football field in height it has before, but erupting every few days to every few weeks. Its behavior is totally unpredictable.

Sauropod Ceiling

Imagine being on a caving trip, looking up at the ceiling, and seeing something fascinating on the roof of the cave you’re in. Apparently that happened to one of the geoscientists who authored a paper on this set of enormous dinosaur tracks found in a cave in southern France.

Deep magma reservoir below Mt Rainier

Researchers from Norway and the US have mapped an 8 by 16 km magma chamber at 8 km depth below Washington State’s Mount Rainier. The detailed map was created by measuring the variations in the magnetic and electrical fields as well as seismic imaging. Researchers suggest that this map could help us predict when volcanoes will erupt.
