  • Photo by @laurakmorton | Virtual-reality beach volleyball is played at the Augmented World Expo in Santa Clara, California. The volleyball game was being used to demonstrate the StarTracker VR technology, which uses reflective stickers that can be stuck to the ceiling or a net while an upward-looking camera calculates the position of the subject from the stickers. This is an outtake from an @natgeo story on Silicon Valley culture. For more photographs of people, places and culture in California and beyond follow me @laurakmorton.

  • Photo by @beverlyjoubert | It’s really not surprising that words often fail to capture the wonderful extraordinariness of the natural world. Take the wildebeest (or gnu, if you prefer): an oddball assemblage of hooves and horns, weirdly sloped, generously maned and bearded, and rounded off with a horse’s tail. Gather them into a crowd, and the word herd simply won’t suffice. Now imagine a dusty, churning, bleating multitude of wildebeest powering their way across the grasslands in one of the most epic animal migrations on Earth. Thankfully, we can do better than "herd" to describe that. The writer James Lipton coined "an implausibility of gnus" … and that’s so much closer to capturing what seems like a fundamental truth about many of the species we share the planet with: almost too fantastical to exist, and yet here they are to awe and astonish us. #wildebeestmigration #silhouette #implausibilityofgnus
  • Photo by @katieorlinsky | Goats in Uvs Province, Mongolia, during a 2018 dzud, the Mongolian word for a winter famine. A dzud occurs when extremely cold weather leads to massive livestock die-offs that threaten the lives and livelihood of Mongolia’s large population of nomadic herders. Warming weather and a lack of rain in the summer are becoming more common each year in Mongolia, which has led to less hay being available for the animals to gain the weight they need to endure the brutal winter. With cold winds coming from Siberia, temperatures drop to below -50°C. Animals can't graze, and freeze or starve to death.

  • Video by @bertiegregory | A male dugong feeds on seagrass in the southern Red Sea. Dugongs are closely related to manatees, and they look similar, especially from this angle. Their bottom halves, however, are very different. The manatee has a paddle-shaped tail; dugongs have a fluked tail, like dolphins. It’s thought that because of this tail, dugongs inspired the stories of mermaids! The fish in this shot are juvenile golden trevally. They hang out with dugongs to snatch any invertebrates spooked up by the disturbance. Follow @bertiegregory for more on these awesome animals. #redsea #dugong #diving #underwater #ocean
  • Photos by @babaktafreshi and Miguel Montargès, @esoastronomy | Look at the top-center in this view of the winter sky, taken on a recent trip to Oman, to find Betelgeuse! This bright orange star in the iconic constellation Orion that marks the hunter’s shoulder has puzzled astronomers—and recently dimmed to 1/3 of its usual brightness. This massive star is a red supergiant near the wild end of its life: a coming supernova. Although it's 700 light-years away, when this happens its brightness could rival the full moon in our night sky, and even be visible during the day! Swipe left to see a news-breaking fuzzy image of Betelgeuse, captured with one of the world’s largest telescopes, the VLT in Chile. With stars' far distance and our atmosphere disturbing their image, we can't easily reveal them, even with giant telescopes. Betelgeuse is now reversing to normal brightness after an unusually deep excursion in its natural 430-day periodicity. No one knows why Betelgeuse has dimmed, but the new image shows the star no longer looks round and uniform. We don't know when Betelgeuse will become a supernova. It can be any time, from tonight to some point during the next 100,000 years. For more astronomy and space photos, follow me @babaktafreshi. #betelgeuse #orion #astronomy #supernova @esoastronomy

  • Photo by @michaelnicknichols | Bujumbura, Burundi, 1989. Primatologist Jane Goodall (@janegoodallinst) and I were on a mission to expose humans' hypocrisy with the natural world, which we saw as most evident with chimpanzees. Though chimps are 98 percent the same as us in terms of shared DNA, they get none of our rights. This small chimpanzee that still should have been under his mother's care in the wild was chained by the neck to an abandoned shower. He was kept as a pet, as entertainment. After I made the image, he was liberated by Jane’s institute and lived briefly with other chimpanzees in a sanctuary. He died of liver disease, probably from the whiskey he was given to entertain his owners. Our mission resulted in several @natgeo magazine articles and ultimately a book called "Brutal Kinship," which used to lobby Congress as it voted on the Great Ape Conservation Act of 2000, which was signed into law and funds the protection and conservation of great apes in the wild.
