A baby dolphin died on a beach in Spain after hundreds of holidaymakers surrounded it and had their pictures taken with it rather than helping it swim back to its mother in the sea.
All hail the consumerist, individualist selfish selfie culture. Now post pictures of yourself online with the dead baby dolphin. What can possibly go wrong ? I foresee 1000 likes and pluses appreciating disgusting, narcissistic pieces of filth :)

New Brain Area Implicated in Navigation and Spatial Memory
Navigation in mammals including humans and rodents depends on specialized neural networks that encode the animal's location and trajectory in the environment, serving essentially as a GPS, findings that led to the 2014 Nobel Prize in Medicine. Failure of these networks to function properly, as seen in Alzheimer's disease and other neurological conditions, results in severe disorientation and memory deficits. Researchers at NERF (VIB-imec-KU Leuven) have now uncovered striking neural activity patterns in a brain area called the retrosplenial cortex that may assist with spatial memory and navigation.
The research is in Nature Communications. (full open access)

Full Moon
Ohhh ...what a beautiful magical night
Full Moon it was
Walking along the beaches
Caught unaware time must have elapsed into night
For he held my hand
Just swinging our hands like little children
Such moments
Unforgettable but the best ever
Feeling the Sand under our feet
An occasional burst of a Wave
Rolling across the shore
Silence feeling the Air
Sea Breeze whispering our names
Breaking into a Melodious Song
Such beauty
Nature's Magical nights
A magata forming over the Sea
Over the Horizon stood the Moon
Watching over us
As if in shyness casting a spell of love over us
Until his lips touched mine
'I love you' ...He whispered

Example of a Jellyfish Galaxy | ESO
Observations of “Jellyfish galaxies” with ESO’s Very Large Telescope have revealed a previously unknown way to fuel supermassive black holes. It seems the mechanism that produces the tentacles of gas and newborn stars that give these galaxies their nickname also makes it possible for the gas to reach the central regions of the galaxies, feeding the black hole that lurks in each of them and causing it to shine brilliantly.
This picture of one of the galaxies, nicknamed JO204, from the MUSE instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, shows clearly how material is streaming out of the galaxy in long tendrils to the lower-left. Red shows the glow from ionised hydrogen gas and the whiter regions are where most of the stars in the galaxy are located. Some more distant galaxies are also visible.

In The Net Of Life And Time -- Fort Collins, Colorado
"We patronize the animals for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they are more finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other Nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth."
― Henry Beston
A beautiful but wary mule deer doe spies me taking a photo of her and draws up in surprise as she tries to decide whether to run. I was peeking around the corner of my office building to take her photo, so I stayed stock still and waited. After a few moments, she decided I wasn't terribly dangerous and started munching on the grass again. I took a few more shots and then slowly slipped back behind the building and left her to her lunch. :)

Stars for a new year
Field scabious (Knautia arvensis)
Svartskog, Norway
The colors of the flower meadows are becoming more uniformly green and yellow as the season is flowing into autumn. Capturing the amazing colors of the flowers is perhaps that most would do, but these flowers are now transformed to such a diverse kinds of seeds. Each more artistic, intricate and astonishing than the next.
Strangely I think this species is most amazing just before the flowers open, and now. I find the flowers rather whimsically arranged, although some specimens are different, but the buds and the seeds are arranged in such a delicate and symmetric way that I find myself admiring them at these stages every single year. And thus, here is another capture of the inflorescence with the amazing, star-like seeds.
At the final stage, when all the seeds are gone, even the base left is worthy of a closer encounter and a capture before it withers.
This is indeed a common, but very beautiful flower in all its stages.

SpaceX Dragon Arrives at International Space Station
Aug. 16, 2017: The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida Aug. 14, sending an unpiloted Dragon cargo vehicle on a delivery run to the International Space Station. Loaded with more than three tons of supplies and scientific investigations, the Dragon is scheduled to arrive at the station on Aug. 16 where it will be captured by Expedition 52 crewmembers Jack Fischer of NASA and Paolo Nespoli of the European Space Agency operating the station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm. Dragon will spend about a month attached to the Earth-facing port of the Harmony module.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, a source told longtime NBA writer Chris Sheridan the four-time MVP is already planning for his exit. "This will be LeBron's final season in Cleveland," the source told Sheridan. "He is 100 percent leaving. Relationship with owners beyond repair." When James re-signed with Cleveland in July 2014, he appeared unlikely ever to depart Northeast Ohio a second time. In his first-person essay with Sports Illustrated's Lee Jenkins announcing his return to the Cavs, James emphasized "my calling here goes above basketball."
