SpaceX has confirmed that the Falcon 9 upper stage, which smashed into the Moon today, had recently been fitted with Tesla’s latest Full Self Driving software, describing the collision as “an unfortunate edge case” that would make future rockets significantly less likely to drive directly into the Moon. https://newsthump.com/2026/08/05/spacex-rocket-crashed-into-moon-after-being-equipped-with-teslas-full-self-driving-mode/ #globalmuseum #satire #humour #humor #Space

These are the larvae of the Bunaea alcinoe moth, one of the most unusual species of silkworms in the world. Although they look very menacing because of their large spikes, as well as their red and black colors, in fact these creatures are absolutely safe. @ChannelInteres #globalmuseum #catepillars #moths #insects

The shark that lives for 400 years – and what it can teach us about longevity. Some Greenland sharks alive today may have been contemporaries of Shakespeare. With a scarred heart that beats for centuries, this deep-sea shark defies age-related decline. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260717-the-shark-that-lives-for-centuries #globalmuseum #sharks #longevity

A 200-year-old chamber pot with Napoleon hiding inside. Before social media. Before the internet. Before memes... There was pottery. Made in Liverpool around 1805, this creamware chamber pot hides a 3D bust of Napoleon Bonaparte inside, alongside the word "Pereat" Latin for "let him perish." It transformed an everyday household object into a bold piece of political satire, mocking one of Britain's greatest enemies. @brighton_museums #globalmuseum #museums #pottery

The Vietnamese mossy frog may not be invisible, but it comes pretty close. 🐸 This critter’s camouflage provides perfect cover among Vietnam's mossy caves and stream banks. It can project its voice up to 13 ft (4 m) into the distance, making it even more difficult to locate. @AMNH #globalmuseum #frogs

The crow on your fence knows your face. She's known it for years. She told her family about you. They've never met you. They also know your face now. The grudge was inherited. University of Washington researchers wore masks while trapping crows. Years later, crows who had never been trapped — young birds born after the study — would scold and dive-bomb anyone wearing that specific mask. The information was taught across generations. #globalmuseum #crows #birds

The twilight zone: Every night trillions of tiny creatures rise from the ocean depths. During World War Two sonar technicians made an extraordinary discovery. The pings from their echo sounders reflected off what they thought must be the ocean floor. But the sea was much shallower than they had expected and – even more puzzlingly – the seabed seemed to move up and down throughout the day. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260706-the-deep-sea-creatures-that-rise-every-night #globalmuseum #OceanLife #oceans #marineanimals

Torpenhow Hill, England When the Saxons arrived and asked the locals what that hill was called, the Welsh replied, “Pen,” which simply means hill in Welsh. The Saxons, apparently not spotting they’d already been given the full answer, added their own word for hill: tor. So it became Torpen - literally Hill Hill. @LairdOfThManor #globalmuseum #language

Vogelkop Super Paradise, found in the rainforests of Papua, is only found in Indonesia's Papua province. Its clove-black feathers absorb 99.5% of light, which makes its blue eyes and chest appear like a digital illusion. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/new-vogelkop-superb-bird-of-paradise-changes-up-the-old-song-and-dance/ #globalmuseum #birds
