Witness the Northern Gannet’s Spectacular Fishing Technique

The northern gannet, a true master of aerial diving, catches fish by plunging from impressive heights—often over 30 meters—at astounding speeds of up to 96 kilometers per hour. These incredible birds can dive to depths of 15 meters, skillfully maneuvering underwater using both their wings and feet to chase their swift prey. Once they grasp their catch, they immediately surface, showcasing a remarkable display of agility and precision.

CO₂ Emissions Over the U.S. Visualized by NASA

NASA has released a stunning visualization showcasing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions across the United States. This depiction highlights emissions from both wildfires and human activities, as well as the spread of greenhouse gases. In 2021, the U.S. accounted for more than 12% of global CO₂ emissions. It would be fascinating to see this data on a global scale.
