Transcending time, ancient insects dance vividly within the amber.

'It's weird. The plan was supposed to be that by now everyone would've spotted a UFO and we'd all be researching it together.' 'Even spotting one in the first place seems impossible.'

When Kepler saw the smaller planets orbiting Jupiter, they reminded him of the bodyguards surrounding a king on a journey, so he named them satellites.

The clan charges wildly, like a raging sea storm.

I tried all sorts of things — mixing yellow powder with white to make brown, mixing crystals with powder to make dust, combining liquids with solids to make mud, and so on.

My seniors, with pure curiosity, simply asked nature their questions and waited for nature to answer.

When you look through a telescope, planets take on an entirely new appearance.

There was a time I wanted to be an astrophysicist.

Their communication may be far more complex than we have thought.

Despite its importance, the role of sleep remains a mystery.

The total solar eclipse to be observed on June 22nd next year.

The scientific truth of evolution is so thoroughly confirmed as to be beyond any possibility of dispute, and essentially irrefutable.

Will the universe continue to expand infinitely?

Why does the moon shine at night?

'Actually, there's something I'd like to ask about for my independent research project...' 'Let's see... Hm, you're looking into angiosperms.'

Wildfires are understood as just damage from burning trees, but they actually have a terrible 'hidden character.'

What on earth makes anyone think I know anything about robotics?

On that same day, Apollo 11 successfully landed on the moon.

In recent years, by means of a method called VLBI — which applies the observation of quasars — and GPS, the absolute motion of tectonic plates has begun to be understood as well.

The common fault of scientists is the misperception that every problem has a technical solution.

There are animals that don't reproduce when kept in cages.

Once the frame is complete, the spider stretches silk threads across it, just like the spokes of a bicycle wheel.

Grooming among primates strengthens group bonds.

For example, vervet monkeys have come to use a specific call when there's an eagle circling overhead. The eagle preys on the monkeys.

For example, jack pine cones don't open up and release their seeds on their own until they're affected by high heat.

For example, chameleons can change the color of their skin to blend in with the surrounding trees and leaves.

A shooting star streaked across the sky.

Still waters run deep.

You see the lightning before you hear the thunder because light travels faster than sound.

Because thunder is now scientifically explained, people no longer believe it's the wrath of god against humans. So thunder isn't as frightening as it used to be.
