This video, captured by 'beelightfulbees' on IG, shows a Bombus hypnorum, a 'tree bumblebee' napping on a flower, little toes tippy-tapping as it dreams. But do bees really dream and WHY? And how can we know that? Let's talk about 'memory reactivation' theory. (📷: beelightfulbees)

This is the highest-resolution view of the surface of the Sun. Ever. Taken by the NSF's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, features as small as 19 km across can be resolved. The wispy things are magnetic field boundaries formed by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. The island of Ireland for scale.

The headlines are still covering the cyclosporiasis outbreak from lettuce, but let's talk about a different summer, long ago. The headlines in Bavaria would have called it "summer diarrhea" & it was killing babies. Enter our hero, Professor Theodor Escherich of the Julius Hospital, Würzburg.
