Red-throated Loon. This is a migratory aquatic bird found in the Northern Hemisphere. During the breeding season, it acquires the reddish throat patch, which is the basis for its name. Pairs help to build the nest, incubate the eggs, and feed the hatched young. 📸: @ariheino

James Webb Space Telescope observations suggest that a distant galaxy hosts three massive black holes, including a close pair that will merge within 700 million years! This discovery shows how black hole mergers may have helped shape galaxies in the early universe! 🧪 www.aanda.org/articles/aa/...
Artist's concept of the newly discovered triple black hole system. Two black holes are in a close binary (0.000001 kpc) while the third orbits farther away (3kpc).

I used to be a Social Security trustee. The real reason the program is in trouble has nothing to do with the postwar baby boom or increasing life expectancy. It's because of widening inequality. Watch.

Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae)...Mother Nature was working with a 'no such thing as too much' philosophy the day she designed this finch...native to a very specific & shrinking corridor across Northern Australia. Though a popular pet bird. #bird #photo #nature #biology #wildlife
Gouldian Finch perched on a textured, tan branch. The bird is a vibrant collage of saturated colors: a bright red face, a deep purple chest, and a brilliant yellow belly, with a leafy green back and wings. A thin turquoise band wraps around the back of its head, and its sturdy beak is a clean, ivory white. The background consists of soft-focus green leaves and light-colored stalks, making the bird’s sharp, multi-colored plumage stand out vividly.
