The clearest visible difference between manatees and their closing living relative, dugongs, is the presence of a paddle-shaped tail. A dugong’s tail flukes — similar in shape to that of a whale.

Manatees (family Trichechidae, genus Trichechus) can grow to weigh up to ~1,200 lb and be over 9 feet long! These marine mammals are mostly herbivorous and they are known to eat over 60 different freshwater and saltwater plants. 🥬🦭 #ManateeAppreciationDay https://t.co/m9NRqvyyLR

This is the skull of a common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) & it’s being viewed under a scanning electron micrograph (SEM) with animated coloring. 

The tissue found in the interior of this bird bone is characterized by a honeycomb arrangement of trabeculae.

We have to keep our eyes on the skies. 

Studying asteroids informs us about what we can do to prevent an impact.

What happens if an asteroid were to hit shallow coastal water? 

This could cause significant damage along the shoreline and even produce a tsunami.

Fortunately, Earth has a head start. 

We've already built an asteroid deflector called the "Double Asteroid Redirection Test" also known as D.A.R.T for short.

Specialized software and supercomputers assess asteroid trajectories and the possible damage that might occur when asteroids enter Earth's atmosphere.

An asteroid the size of a city block hurtles toward the US at 40,000 mph. 

Experts confront the story of this fictional asteroid event to determine what could happen, and how it might be stopped.

The orbiting laboratory travels 5 miles per second, traveling around our planet every 90 minutes.

This is a composite long exposure image from the International Space Station. NASA astronaut Don Pettit combined multiple 30-second exposures from a mounted camera on the space station into one image.

The axis of the Earth is now increasing its tilt relative to the Sun, warming the hemisphere significantly. This causes new plant growth to “spring forth,” giving the season its name.

Happy #FirstDayofSpring! Today is the day of the vernal equinox, also known as the spring equinox, marking the change of the season in the Northern Hemisphere. https://t.co/6A2zFGV4qW

We have our champion. 

Matter, compressed and then smashed together by supermassive black holes, creates the most intense and energetic event in the universe.

When galaxies collide, they can create tremendous starbursts. 

As gas follows that collision, shockwaves are formed, and a new generation of stars are born into the galaxy.
