¹ From Daily Overview: “Every year, the tulip fields in Lisse, Netherlands, begin to bloom in March and are in peak bloom by late April. The Dutch produce a total of 4.3 billion tulip bulbs each year, of which 2.3 billion are grown into cut flowers.” (Earth by ASM Channels)

Extreme expedition.¹

¹ Jose Mostajo (@josemostajo) was part of this summit push at Aconcagua mountain. He recalls that experience: “For the first hour everything was perfectly calm, as we rose above the clouds. Then the harshest of winds started…and never stopped.” (Earth by ASM Channels)

@benjaminhardman’s parhelion.¹

¹ A parhelion, also known as a sun dog, is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a bright spot to one or both sides of the Sun. @benjaminhardman recalls capturing this moment: ”Yesterday we experienced this incredible light phenomenon known as a Sun Dog or Parhelion. With a light -20°C breeze and ice crystals falling around us, looking up to this scene really felt like a window into another galaxy.” (Earth by ASM Channels)

Total eclipse 𑇐 April 8, 2024
Did you know even Earth’s smallest life forms can be impacted during an eclipse?¹

¹ During a solar eclipse, the moon crosses between Earth and the sun, temporarily obstructing the sun’s light. This drives short-term changes in the environment like reduced light levels and a drop in temperature. These changes could influence microbial growth and activity.
Microbes are highly adaptable and responsive to their environment, even slight changes in conditions can impact their metabolic rates and growth patterns. In one small study, researchers observed that the bacteria growing in a lab in India during a 2010 solar eclipse exhibited a significant change in size and shape characteristics near the eclipse peak. These findings have yet to be confirmed through replication, so more research is needed to untangle the details of how eclipses alter bacteria. (Earth by ASM Channels)
