Now You Can Have Pet Jellyfish At Home
Why get a lava-lamp when you can have a jellyfish tank? Florida company Jellyfish Art, who’s been selling jellyfish aquariums since 2011, has just concluded a successful kickstarter for a 3rd-generation, LED, tank. 330 USD will get you a tank that you set up yourself, with the jellyfish following in the mail the next day.
Some people were concerned if there’s enough space for the jellyfish. As harsh as it sounds, jellyfish don’t have a traditional central nervous system, and are probably not aware whether they’re in an ocean or in a fish tank.
“If they get close to a filtration intake in a regular fish tank, they would get sucked in and badly mangled,” the team explained to Huffington Post. “They’re made up of over 90% water so they’re very delicate. The water flow in the tank is designed to have a very gentle outflow spread out over a large surface area. Our design is the first commercially available cylindrical design.” (Source)
Radiated tortoise (Astrochelys radiata)
The radiated tortoise is a species in the family Testudinidae. Although this species is native to and most abundant in southern Madagascar, it can also be found in the rest of this island, and has been introduced to the islands of Réunion and Mauritius. As the radiated tortoises are herbivores, grazing constitutes 80-90% of their diets, while they also eat fruits and succulent plants. These tortoises are rated as critically endangered by the IUCN, mainly because of the destruction of their habitat by humans and because of poaching.

Mystery Solved: How Young Stars Appear In Old Clusters
“But surprisingly, bluer, brighter, hotter stars often appear in these older clusters anyway! Even in cases where there’s no evidence of a recent star-forming event, these blue straggler stars can frequently be found. For a long time, we thought the occasional merger of two low-mass stars gave rise to a heavier, blue star. But there’s an alternative.”
When stars are born, it normally happens in groups of thousands or more, all at once. They range from just 8% the mass of our Sun, which are dim, red, and long-lived, to dozens or even hundreds of times as massive: the brightest, bluest and shortest-lived stars of all. Because they burn through their fuel the fastest, these most massive stars cease to exist the most quickly. Yet even in the oldest star clusters available for study, stars that are blue and bright still appear! These blue stragglers were once thought to form from the merger of smaller, redder stars, but two recent studies now suggest an alternative: these stars are formed when one star siphons material off of a binary companion, increasing its own mass and creating a dead white dwarf out of its neighbor.

Galidictis vittata (now Galidictis fasciata) - Broad-Striped Malagasy Mongoose
The three species of Malagasy mongooses are not closely related to the Herpestidae (True Mongooses). They’re more related to other Malagasy (Madagascar) carnivores such as the fossa and Malagasy civet.
When I was going through my files I thought this was a fat furry garter snek from the thumbnail. Still not sure I’m incorrect.
