Circles and Hexagons
This image from NASA's Cassini spacecraft shows Saturn's cloud belts moving around the planet in a circular path with the wandering, hexagon-shaped polar jet stream breaking the mold. The Cassini spacecraft ended its mission on Sept. 15, 2017.

Grabbed my book and a cup of tea only to receive a visitor on my lap. Now I can't reach my tea without disturbing him. It's ok, this is better ๐

Is the middle #Cambrian #Brooksella a hexactinellid #sponge, trace #fossil or pseudofossil?
https://phys.org/news/2023-02-middle-cambrian-brooksella-hexactinellid-sponge.html paper: https://peerj.com/articles/14796/
There are numerous enigmatic Cambrian #fossils that need to be scrutinized to determine if they are really fossils to help #paleontologists refine biodiversity estimates for the Cambrian.
More than 100 years ago, Charles Doolittle Walcott from the Smithsonian Institution was asked to examine strange star-shaped fossils with lobes hailing from the ~ 514-million-year-old Conasauga Formation in Alabama. Walcott described these odd fossils as jellyfish that likely floated in the middle Cambrian seas of what is now the southeastern United States. Little did he know that the Cambrian fossil he named would cause more than 100 years of controversy.

The court also found that, denying same-sex couples such benefits, amounted to discrimination.
The Govan Cat, Govan Road, Govan.
Set into the wall of Brechin's Bar, this is one of the most unusual memorials in Glasgow. It's in remembrance of a cat which did a great service to the residents of Govan by single-handedly clearing out a heavy rat infestation, but died from injuries sustained while doing this.
