Hi, me again, you know... the one with the Grian nail? Yeah, season 9 inspired me while I was crocheting Among Us amigurumis. So I made an easter egg Grian for you.

He almost looks like a pencil.

amigurumi grian!

Ocean Jasper - cube cut from the first vein

Ocean Jasper, also known as orbicular jasper, is a variety of quartz. It has fibrous spherulites formed as a result of extensive alteration and silification of former tuffs. These structures tend to have radial growth from central points which give the stone circular orbicular patternings. It comes in many colors and spherical patterns, and its hardness on the Mohs scale is 7. It is found in northwestern Madagascar in the Analalava district. There are several known veins, each with unique attributes. The original first vein is located near the village of Marovato, having similar patterns to the eighth vein, which is nearly tapped-out.

Below are some polished slabs and spheroids cut from the eighth vein.

In the Round

Molecular and physical differences revealed between breast cancer cells lab-grown on a flat surface in 2D versus in 3D as spheroids – the nucleus of the 3D-grown cells is more rounded, has a larger surface, a more compact chromatin [DNA packaged with proteins in the nucleus] and a distinctive set of downregulated genes

“refuse your what?” really should’ve been a wake-up call for the Clans re: the language they’d developed in complete isolation

These spheres in the Cosmic Observatory haunt me

I have to assume they're planets, but what's their significance? Why are they here?? They don't show up in the open world, so what. Are. Their. Deal?!?

[adara-et-al]

nothing quite like world-building to remind you how big the earth is, and how fucking incredible the forces of nature are. Like how big does a continent on a planet really need to be?

NGC 147, C17 // Jeffbax Velocicaptor

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are characterized by old "red and dead" stellar populations, and indeed that's the case for NGC 147. The last significant star formation in this galaxy happened about 3 billion years ago!

The best time to see this faint galaxy is in the autumn in the northern hemisphere.

i think the best wiki page is the characters page. idk why it exists honestly that's what categories are for but also it's hilarious to me like.

idk why this is so funny to me honestly but it is-
