What if conservation started with berry picking? 🍓 Renowned ecologist and author Robin Wall Kimmerer invites us to see foraging not as extraction, but as connection. When we engage with the land through traditions like berry picking or sweetgrass harvesting, we don’t just witness nature, we fall in love with it. #RobinWallKimmerer #Conservation #Berries #Environment #LearnSomethingNew

At the center of our galaxy lives a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A*. 🔭 Amanda Peake, a PhD candidate at the MIT Kavli Institute, explores Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. Astrophysicists are deeply fascinated by it because it controls our entire galaxy. The Sun is in orbit around it, and everything in the Milky Way is arranged in a spiral around the massive black hole at the center. #BlackHole #SpaceX #SpaceTok #SpaceFacts #ScienceExplained

How can we break a glass with sound? 🥽 Every material has a resonant frequency, a specific vibration rate that produces its unique tone, and when sound waves match that frequency, they drive the glass to vibrate in sync and grow in amplitude. As more energy is delivered at that exact pitch, the stress builds until the glass can no longer hold together and shatters, a powerful example of resonance, sound waves, and energy transfer in action. #ScienceExperiment #ScienceFacts #LearnSomethingNew #D

A giant rocket just blew up at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center! Blue Origin was doing a full test fire of their New Glenn rocket as preparation for an upcoming flight when something went very, very wrong. Fortunately no one was injured, but this is the biggest explosion ever seen at Kennedy Space Center. The launch pad is badly damaged, and NASA's upcoming Project Artemis plans for building a moon base depend on both the New Glenn rocket and this pad. This is a big setback for both Blue Origin and N

The only total lunar eclipse of 2026 is coming and it will turn the Moon red. 🌕🌑 Overnight March 2 to 3, Earth will pass between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow that transforms the Moon into a deep red Blood Moon. About 2.5 billion people across much of the United States, Canada, Mexico, parts of East Asia, and the Pacific can see at least part of this rare event. Unlike a solar eclipse, you do not need special glasses. Totality runs from 11:04 p.m. to 12:02 a.m. UTC, or Coordinated Uni

What happens when you take the air out of a can of shaving cream? 🪒 @Wolf_Science explains how the atmosphere inside squeezes thousands of tiny air bubbles to stay small in their container. When the air is taken out, it causes them to expand, resulting in an excess amount of foam. Then, when the air is put back, it looks like half the shaving cream disappears! #Chemistry #ScienceExperiment #LearnOnTikTok #AmazingFacts #Science

How can you observe tardigrades? You take a look at moss: their natural habitat! Our friend @Chloé Savard took a look and found tardigrades from two genera: Milnesium and Macrobiotus. Milnesium tardigrades have long, pointy claws and a decorated snout, which help them grab, manipulate, and stabilize their prey. Macrobiotus have shorter claws and a simpler snout, which makes them vegetarians feeding off of algae and plant cells, with the occasional relapse into a carnivorous diet when feeding on

We tested the five second rule, and the microbes won. 🍎🦠 @Alex Dainis 🧬🔬 that even after just two seconds on a seemingly clean floor, bacteria were already on the move. Some bacteria have genes that produce sticky proteins and moisture-protecting coatings, allowing them to latch on fast. The verdict? Even a quick drop can lead to contamination. #Microbiology #Experiment #STEM #ScienceTok #LearnSomethingNew #EverydayHacks

How tough can a microscopic animal be? Dr. Chris Mason, Professor of Physiology and Biophysics at Cornell University explains that tardigrades, microscopic “water bears” found in soils around the world, can survive heavy radiation and the vacuum of space. Scientists have also taken genes from tardigrades and put them into human cells to recreate that radiation resistance. #Science #Biology #ScienceFacts #ScienceTok #PopularScience

How does one cell become many? 🧫 Marie, also known as @Marie | Biotech & Lifestyle 🧫, zooms in on the first 24 hours of HeLa cells growing in a dish. A single human cell divides through mitosis and begins forming a larger community of cells. As they multiply, the cells also start communicating, organizing, and forming patterns, giving scientists a closer look at cell division, development, disease, and how new medicines are tested. #Biology #Microscopy #Ciencia #DidYouKnowFacts #ScienceExplain

Should we be worried about a black hole in our galaxy? Astrophysicist @Prof. Erika Hamden introduces us to our cosmic neighbor: a stellar-mass black hole called Gaia BH1. It is about 1,500 light-years away from us and a companion of a sun-like star, which is how it was detected. The good news is we don’t have to worry about it eating our galaxy! #SpaceFacts #STEMEducation #DailyFacts #TikTokEducation #Science

Octopuses are colorblind, yet they’re some of the most skilled camouflage artists in the animal kingdom. 🐙 Their skin is packed with chromatophores, pigment cells that let them change color and texture in an instant to match their environment. How do they do it without seeing color? That’s a puzzle scientists are still trying to solve. #Octopuses #MarineBiology #Oceanography #SeaLife #Science This project is part of IF/THEN®, an initiative of Lyda Hill Philanthropies.

You can’t breathe without photosynthetic microbes. 🦠 Quinten Geldhof, also known as @Microhobbyist, breaks down how around 2.5 billion years ago, cyanobacteria evolved oxygen-producing photosynthesis, transforming Earth’s atmosphere and making complex life possible. Today, microscopic algae and diatoms in sunlit oceans use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into energy, producing more than half of the oxygen in our atmosphere. #Science #Microbiology #Photosynthesis #Biology #Environme

Are we finally going back to the Moon? 🚀 NASA has rolled the Artemis II rocket out to the launchpad after repairs, bringing the first crewed Artemis mission one step closer to a launch attempt now targeted for April 1. Artemis II will send four astronauts around the Moon and back aboard the Orion spacecraft, testing the systems needed for future lunar missions and helping pave the way for human exploration deeper into space. #NASA #Artemis #Space #ScienceExplained #ScienceFacts
