Instagram favs - Gruber Photo of the Day: "Day 4 of #ChasingFall15 blew my mind," Jered says. "I didn’t think it would be possible to keep up that pace, but Day 5 of our glorious romp through Appalachia was every bit as dazzling as the day before. We had the chance to ride some of the Shenandoah’s finest, crowned by the monster climb of @jeremiah_bishop_’s Alpine Grandondo - Reddish Knob. It helped to have the man himself lead the way, especially when we took a sweet short cut on dirt through three creek crossings before hitting the climb proper and starting the uphill party in earnest. After all that, it was mostly downhill, but not, with some pavement, and more dirt down to the @stokesvillelodge for the chance to meet another legend of the area, @chrisscottistan."

Instagram favs - A photo for a book project in evolution...the beautiful eyes of Bella. The earliest human ancestors came from the continent of Africa, as #primates adapted and then branched off into many different species that eventually became our modern day human beings appeared. Since the equator cuts directly through the continent of Africa, the countries there receive almost direct sunlight, with ultraviolet rays, and the warm temperatures it brings pressured for the natural selection of dark skin color. Pigments, like melanin in the skin, protect against these harmful rays of the sun. Individuals with darker skin live longer and they would reproduce and pass down the dark skinned genes to their offspring. #Naturalselection for the lighter eye colors are linked to the relaxation of selection for darker skin tones. As human ancestors began to migrate to various places around the world, the pressure for selection of dark skin color was not as intense. These much higher latitudes afforded different seasons with much less direct sunlight , like near the equator, the selection pressure was no longer as intense, genes were more likely to #mutate. The color of human #eyes is not dictated by a single gen many it of the other traits. It is instead considered a polygenic trait, meaning there are several different genes on various chromosomes that carry information about what eye color an individual should possess. These genes, when expressed, then blend together to make various shades of different colors. Relaxed selection for dark eye color also allowed more mutations to take hold. This created even more alleles available to combine together in the gene pool to create different eye colors. #Sexualselection may also explain some of the different eye colors that have popped up over time. Mating, in humans, tends to be non-random and as a species, we are able to choose our mates based on desirable characteristics. Some individuals may find one eye color much more appealing over another and choose a mate with that color of eyes. Then, those genes are passed down to their offspring and continue to be available in the gene pool. @robertclarkphoto @thephotosociety

Instagram favs - The Rising Image credit & Copyright: Hillary Younger @hillary_younger <-follow! Will Minds Appear in the Cosmos? part 2 The chances of this are 10 to the power of 10 to the power of 50. That’s a huge huge number. Trust me, you’re going to need more pencils to even write it out. Actually, you could turn every atom of the Universe into a pencil and it wouldn’t be enough. Just imagine what it would be like to be that self-aware conscious entity that suddenly appeared floating in a completely empty cosmos, contemplating the mystery and wonder of all that vast nothingness. Perhaps it’s just a bunch of telepathic screaming because one thing this particular brain was missing was the ability to survive in a vacuum. Now, then imagine an entire planet, orbiting a sun-like star, filled with human beings and other life. Again, that number is even more incomprehensibly small, but it’s not zero. And so, in a Universe of infinite space, those things are popping up an infinite number of times, and in infinite time, it’ll happen an infinite number of times. And now, I shall deliver the final mind bending blow. Imagine you took all the particles and energy in the entire Universe. All the protons, photons, neutrons and hadrons. There’s a tiny, tiny chance that all those particles could suddenly appear in an infinitely dense region of space, and undergo a rapid expansion. In other words, it’s possible that another Big Bang could spontaneously appear in an infinite amount of time. How long? Physicist Sean Carroll has done the math. You’d just need to wait 10 to the power of 10 to the power of 10 to the power of 56 years for it to happen. It’s a long time, but it’s not forever. So, in an infinite amount of time, you’ll get an infinite number of Big Bangs, spontaneously appearing in a finite Universe. Or an infinite number of Big Bangs happening all the time in an infinite Universe. by Fraiser Cain @universetoday

Instagram favs - Enceladus is a world divided. To the north, the terrain is covered in impact craters, much like other icy moons. But to the south, the record of impact cratering is much more sparse, and instead the land is covered in fractures, ropy or hummocky terrain and long, linear features. The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 27, 2015. The spacecraft will sample the ocean of Enceladus on Wednesday, Oct. 28, when it flies through the moon's plume of icy spray.

Instagram favs - Located about 16 million light-years away, this new Hubble image shows the sparkling galaxy Messier 94. You'll notice the bright ring (or starburst ring) around Messier 94 where new stars are forming at a high rate. The cause of this star-forming region is thought to be a pressure wave going outwards from the galactic center, compressing the gas and dust in the outer region. The compression of material means the gas starts to collapse into denser clouds. Inside these dense clouds, gravity pulls the gas and dust together until temperature and pressure are high enough for stars to be born.

Instagram favs - What's that inside the Heart Nebula? First, the large emission nebula dubbed IC 1805 looks, in whole, like a human heart. The nebula glows brightly in red light emitted by its most prominent element: hydrogen. The red glow and the larger shape are all created by a small group of stars near the nebula's center. In the center of the Heart Nebula are young stars from the open star cluster Melotte 15 that are eroding away several picturesque dust pillars with their energetic light and winds. The open cluster of stars contains a few bright stars nearly 50 times the mass of our Sun, many dim stars only a fraction of the mass of our Sun, and an absent microquasar that was expelled millions of years ago. The Heart Nebula is located about 7,500 light years away toward the constellation of Cassiopeia. At the top right is the companion Fishhead Nebula. Image Copyright: Simon Addis
