China's huge JUNO neutrino detector turned on three months ago, and has already achieved new levels of sensitivity in studying these mysterious particles.

The detector weighs 20,000 tons & contains 45,000 sensors watching for rare neutrino interactions.

#TextureTuesday #Nature #Photography

A huge pile of bundles of reed. The surface is dominated by the circular cross-sections of countless tubes packed tightly together. The repetitive texture resembles a honeycomb or the cells of an organism when viewed from a distance. The color palette is monochromatic or near-monochromatic, featuring shades of grey, beige, and brown. If you look more closely, you can see the metal wire used to make the bundles as black and white, dotted lines.

Starlings hanging out together. Six Starlings all perched on the same aerial in North Lynn earlier today.

Six starlings (small, dark birds with speckles and flashes of colour which show up in sunlight - which was in evidence today) perched on an aerial in North Lynn (taken from the path alongside Bawsey Drain, between Losinga Road and Columbia Way).

#Raptor overhead! This bird of prey (I am uncertain of the exact #species) was flying above and in front of me as I walked the section of the path alongside Bawsey Drain between Columbia Way and Lynnsport in North Lynn this afternoon.
#photography #nature #birds #ornithology #raptors
A raptor, the species of which I am unsure, flies above North Lynn. It is a fairly large bird (definitely larger than even the biggest gulls) with a mottled brown body, a vicious looking beak, wings fully extended and a broad tail, which would give it great control in flight, enabling it to hover for extended periods if necessary.

The last area on earth without plastic pollution. Cartoon from 2024.

#nature #plastic #trash #waste #garbage

Cartoon showing a zoo. In the zoo is a glass cage with various animals. Around the zoo is a fence and a sign that reads 'Last area on earth without plastic pollution'. Outside the fence, we see hills of plastic trash. A booth is selling tickets to people wanting to enter the zoo. Inside the zoo, the ground is also littered with plastic trash (except for the inside of the glass cage). A stand with a giant plastic bottle on the roof is selling snacks and drinks to the people.

Winter is coming! 😁😎👍🏻

Yeah, I know, not winter just yet, but it's coming! 😜 Not today either (Gorgeous autumnal day with 24C and blue skies all around)! But, still, when it shows up, it can be quite dramatic seeing Maspalomas Dunes over some heavy and pretty dark clouds announcing heavy rainfall, like in this snap shot, and you know hell will unleash. Still, I *love* the massive contrast between the golden sand, the intense blue of the ocean and the sky in the horizon and those menacing dark clouds, telling everyone to run for cover or get rather wet! 😁👍🏻

A little world of moss

#nature #naturephotography #moss #mosstodon #green

A Macro photograph of a patch of green spiky moss, most likely haircap moss. In the center of the photo is a brown sporophyte, resembling a wrinkled cylinder. The surrounding moss weaves in and out of focus, giving it a half dreamy appearance. The exposure in the photo is quite bright.

A close up photo of a cluster of haircap moss in the middle of the image. The focus is on a round water drop that sits between two leaves near the top of the leftmost piece of moss. in the very blurry out of focus background goes a wide diagonal streak of white from snow, and the rest of the background is mostly green.

A frosty #petunia for #FlowerFriday ... blue lips aren't a good sign, are they? 🥶

#Frost #Nachtfrost #Raureif #hoarFrost #nightFrost #petunias #Petunie #Petunien #Blumen #flowers #Natur #nature #purple #violet #lila #violett #florespondence #bloomScrolling

This image features a close-up of a purple petunia flower delicately covered in frost. The frost creates a fine, crystalline layer over the petals and the green stem, giving the flower a sparkling, wintry appearance. The petals are slightly curled and show intricate patterns of veins, while the frost highlights the texture and detail of the flower. The background is softly blurred, drawing focus to the frosted petunia and its natural beauty amidst the cold.

I swear I am giving the magpies plenty of food, but apparently they want everything I put out in my garden.

Square photo of a winter garden. In the foreground is a small tree with two feeding stations hanging from thin branches only suitable to hold small birds. One is a small red house with seeds, the other is a metal spiral filled with suet cakes. The main attraction in this photo is an Eurasian magpie caught in flight, it's wings spread out, as it tries to get a nibble from one of the suet cakes.

Colombia Bans All New Oil and Mining Projects in its Amazon–an Area the Size of Sweden

It’s 42% of Colombia’s territory. It’s 7% of the total Amazon Rainforest. It’s the same size as Sweden, and it’s now free from future oil and mineral extraction. The news that half a million square kilometers of territory in the Amazon biome of Colombia was now limited only to renewable and regenerative economic activities only […]

Fungi on fungi for #fungifriday.

These striking filaments are the reproductive structures of Spinellus fusiger, a parasitic fungus commonly known as bonnet or pin mould. It lives by infecting host mushrooms, producing thread-like sporangiophores that end in minute spore capsules, giving the mushrooms a fuzzy, pincushion-like appearance.

#photography #photo #fotografie #photographie #fotografia #naturelovers #naturephotography #nature #fungi #mushroom #mosstodon

A single, slender mushroom emerges from a lush bed of moss and lichen. Its dark brown, conical cap is covered in a striking halo of fine, radiating white filaments that resemble delicate hairs or threads spreading outwards in all directions. These filaments are the reproductive structures of Spinellus fusiger, a parasitic fungus commonly known as bonnet or pin mould. They catch the light, creating a bright, spiky effect around the mushroom's cap. The mossy ground is a vivid shade of green, with soft textures and various pale green lichens scattered throughout. The background is softly blurred with green and brown tones.

November sunsets can be so sublime
#Sunset #nature #photography #michigan
A pastel sunset of orange, yellow and red is reflected on a calm lake with dark sand dunes on the horizon, creating a symmetrical picture. Dark grey clouds are along the top and reflected on the bottom, giving the illusion that the strip of color in the middle of the picture is a torn piece of paper.
