Today’s Exhibit of the Day? It’s one of the largest amethyst geodes in the world! At about 13 ft (4 m) tall and 9,000 lbs (4,082 kg), this giant weighs about as much as three compact cars. It was "born" when molten magma poured from the Earth’s crust some 135 million years ago. While its dazzling purple crystals might catch your eye, this geode would have originally been composed of colorless quartz—its distinctive amethyst color deriving from millenia of natural radiation, heat, and trace contaminants. 

You can spot this geode, and other sparkly specimens, in the Museum’s Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals! Plan your visit.

Celebrate Your Special Day With Hubble

This is the Veil Nebula, which Hubble saw on July 1, 2020.

Have you ever looked up what our Hubble Space Telescope saw on your birthday? (Or your anniversary, or your pet's adoption day, or...)

We've given our popular interactive page a new look — and, just as importantly, it now shows you five different cosmic sights Hubble was checking out on the day that you picked.

Take a look!

We're otter this world🌈🦦🌎

The Monterey Bay Aquarium PROUDly presents “Otter This World,” performed by Monét X Change with special guest Trinity the Tuck.

This collaboration is a celebration of sea otters, healthy kelp forests, and the magic that comes to life when drag queens channel their ocean inspiration.

It’s also a beautiful reminder of the importance of community, pride, and the power of showing up as yourself. Because the ocean needs you, exactly as you are.

Watch, reblog, and stay otter this world with us. 🌈🦦🌎

It’s Fossil Friday, so soar into the weekend with Archaeopteryx! When this dinosaur was first described in 1861, it caused a sensation. Discovered shortly after Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by means of natural selection, Archaeopteryx provided an example of evolution in action—a fossil that showed the transition between reptiles and birds. The first Archaeopteryx fossils ever found included exquisitely preserved skeletons with clear imprints of wings and feathers, but also teeth and a bony tail. Today, scientists think Archaeopteryx wasn’t able to fly very well, but the species still represents a turning point in paleontologists’ understanding of the relationship between ancient dinosaurs and modern birds in the design of both its body and brain. You can spot Archaeopteryx, and so much more, at the Museum! Plan your visit.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Which shecosystem are you? 🌅🏝️🌊

We invited our friend Monét X Change for a fin-tastically fun game we’re calling Shecosystems. We asked a series of questions to help determine which ocean ecosystem she’s most aligned with. Watch ‘til the end to find out whether she’s more kelp forest or deep sea. 🌿⚫

Follow us for more fun ocean-themed games with drag queens throughout the year! And be shore to find out which shecosystem you are. Reblog with your results!

I feel that Tumblr will be the one place where the majority of people side with the OP as having indeed proven that the paper strips are edible.

Are the paper strips in Hershey's kisses edible?

Yes

No

Neither yes or no, but a third secret thing (list in comments)

1960 estate in Grasse, France has the most wonderful conservatory. 10bds, 6ba, 853.00 m2 / 9,182sqft, €3,150,000 / $3,610,388.25 USD.

Stone living room with a mid century modern conversation pit in front of the fireplace.

But, there's also this comfortable sitting area, as well.

And, there's a loft above.

Lovely Euro kitchen. Look at the knobs for the cooktop built into the island.

The pretty primary bedroom.

And, a lovely marble bath with gold accents.

This could actually be the primary bedroom, too. What a nice closet and terrace.

Beautiful indoor pool.

A big, covered, patio with a stone fireplace.

The garden is stunning.

In addition to the indoor pool, there's also an outdoor pool.

But, this, the conservatory, is the star of the show.

It's huge. There's a pond in the middle

Of course, they have a living room and TV in here. I would want to live in here.

Gorgeous property.

This looks like a pond and there are grapevines in the background.

A wall surrounds the tennis court.

1.2 ha / 2.96 acres.

Here's some notes on some of the upper body muscles so you, artist, don't need to look them up

They are not medically accurate, just enough for artists to know the necessary muscles and how they work together

I 100% recommend doing the last exercise I did to be able to actually place the muscles

[michthept]

Trapezius: the one to massage

Latissimus: bigger than you think (could be why your back hurts)

Pec major: the one that gets worked for show

Rectus abdominus: known to separate

Serratus anterior: you will only see this if someone is thin or jacked

External oblique: hand in the pocket

Deltoid: key to a wide shoulder

Supra and infraspinatus: 1/2 of rotator cuff

Teres major: the one you really want massaged

SCM: the one to bite (also could be the reason for jaw pain)

Platysma: only notable when making that yikes face

Biceps and triceps: with deltoid and pecs get worked for show

The rest of the arm muscles do the work that you think the bicep does
