Dwarf Galaxies Like the Magellanic Clouds Have Their Own Small Satellite Galaxies

Massive galaxies like the Milky Way have smaller satellite galaxies that are tidally disrupted and absorbed. Astronomers think this is how galaxies assemble hierarchically. New research examines galaxies much less massive than the Milky Way to see if they also have their own, much less massive satellites.

The Magellanic woodpecker is a large woodpecker found in southern Chile and southwestern Argentina. This species is mainly pure black, with a white wing patch and a grey, chisel-like beak. Males have a crimson head and crest.

A new age of mass extictinction-level events (#ELEs) has begun. 😞

I think, a week or so thousands of #Magellanic penguins froze to death on their migration in the South Atlantic. They dis not have enough fat, as they could not find enough fish.
Overfishing? IDK*

Both causes are #anthropogenic.

This is #NoClimateChange anymore.

Some changes happen even while we are watching.

What Is Killing Penguins In Atlantic Ocean Near Uruguay?

Magellanic penguins, were found dead in the Atlantic Ocean and were carried by currents to Uruguayan shores, the reports said.

Outlook

How do superheroes like #CaptainMarvel navigate in space? I mean how does she find her way from Earth to - say - #Kree?

I mean, yeah - she could've got an inherent knowledge of space from the #Space #InfinityStone, but still... how do you know when to take the left turn near the Large #Magellanic Cloud?

Things like this keep me up at night! They shouldn't - and I know this means I should get a life - but they do.
