Methane is an even more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide because of its molecular shape. Methane traps more ultraviolet light because it has four bonds that move and resonate, while carbon dioxide only has two. #methane #chemistry #atomicbonds #atmosphere #scienceanimation #ClimatePowerPartner @Climate Power

A crime most fowl was comitted in England in 1921. It turned out that birds even taught each other this cheeky behavior to steal peoples cream. #birds

Above land, 80% of plants are pollinated by animals - but we just found out that pollination happens underwater too! Scientists used to assume that pollination underwater was exclusively done by the motion of the ocean, but recent research showed something different - challenging scientific dogma! #plants #ocean #plantscience

Eclipses on Earth are pretty cool. But you know what's cooler? Eclipses on other planets! Our lovely Sarah designed a T-shirt showing Eclipses on Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. Changes in atmospheric composition and the distance from the sun create wildly different views ☀️ Get your Eclipse T-shirt at DFTBA.com/MinuteEarth! If you order by March 18th, you are sure to get your shirt before the Eclipse in April. But don't worry, it stays available afterwards 😉 #eclipse #solareclipse #totaleclipse

Did you know that animal pollination also happens UNDERWATER? Despite scientists knowing that pollination by animals is incredibly important above land, they never considered that this would happen underwater as well. So when some researchers discovered that some animals on the sea floor pollinate ocean flowers they broke this scientific dogma! #plants #oceanplants #plantfact #plantscience
