It’s sort of an incompetent-king-and-long-suffering-advisor arrangement, if the king were prone to getting their head stuck in Kleenex boxes.

This is the first fungus known to host complex algae inside its cells

In the lab, an alga and a fungus teamed up to exchange food, similar to lichens. But instead of staying outside, the alga moved into the fungal cells.

In a first, scientists have discovered that the marine algal species Nannochloropsis oceanica can live inside the fungus Mortierella elongata. The species formed a mutually beneficial relationship in a lab dish.

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.
