Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

‘It didn’t matter whose child I rescued’: parents of the victims of the Iran school bombing describe their worst day
Hours before the world learned that a US missile had hit Shajareh Tayyebeh school, parents were already searching the rubble for their sons and daughters. In this exclusive report, four families describe the events of 28 February When Marzieh heard the first bang, an almighty crash that rattled the room, her first thought went to her youngest son, Mohammad. He must have got out on to the balcony and discovered a new game, she thought: using all of his small might to smash its sliding doors closed. Marzieh stood up from where she was working at her sewing machine, and shouted for him to stop. Continue reading...

Butterflies with tiny wings fly for thousands of km, across the Sahara, across the Atlantic ocean, strategically using winds to reach seasonal food and breed. It's hard to tag most insects so scientists found other ways to track migrations. Fascinating read: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The bats are a surprise. 📊 By @ourworldindata.org
The distribution of the world's wild land mammal biomass
Our World in Data
Biomass is the total weight of each animal group. It's calculated by multiplying an estimate of the total number of individuals by their average mass. Shown is each group's share of global wild mammal biomass on land.

Rodents (16%)
Squirrels, mice, beavers

Even-hoofed mammals (49%)
Deer, boars, warthogs, camels, hippos and giraffes

Odd-hoofed mammals (1%)
Rhinos, zebras, wild horses

Bats (7%)

Elephants (8%)

Marsupials (7%)
Kangaroos, koalas, wombats
Rabbits and hares (1%)

Primates (4%)
Monkeys, apes

Carnivores (3%)
Lions, tigers, bears

Other (4%)
e.g. pangolins, hedgehogs, sloths


Note: Wild mammal biomass estimates come with substantial uncertainty; some groups have poor population records, and are therefore estimated based on modelling from factors such as the range size of particular animals, and extrapolations of densities from more localized studies.
