Make Your Own Terrarium
YouTube video by Atomic Hands Make Your Own Terrarium

Want to make your own garden that waters itself!? This DIY video introduces the terrarium: a tiny world in glass with a built-in water cycle, a closed terrarium rarely needs watering. Just layer rocks, charcoal, moss, and soil, and add your plants.

This video stitch (@mrs.b.tv) explains that as the fire heats the air, convection makes the warm air rise, carrying the ghosts up with it. :warning: Try this one indoors, and always with adult supervision.

Diving Into Inclusion The New England Aquarium reintroduced ASL Sundays with Atomic Hands to improve accessibility for Deaf and hard-of-hearing visitors.

Exciting news! The New England Aquarium is hoping to bring back ASL Sundays in partnership with Atomic Hands, with the goal of co-designing programming that not only reflects the needs of our Deaf community, but also includes them as collaborators.

Astronauts return from the International Space Station (ISS) having aged less than they would have on Earth. (2/4)

Because of "relative velocity time dilation", the high-speeds that astronauts aboard the ISS are traveling mean that time slows down for them relative to people on the surface of the Earth. (3/4)

Itโ€™s not a failsafe anti-aging trick though: after 6 months on the ISS, astronauts are only 0.005 seconds younger than the rest of us. Very interesting! (4/4)

The Secret to Aging Slower?
YouTube video by Atomic Hands The Secret to Aging Slower?

Did you know astronauts age slower in space? Thanks to time dilation, their high speeds aboard the ISS make time tick a little slower than on Earth! But donโ€™t pack your bags yet. After 6 months, theyโ€™re only about 0.005 seconds younger. Still, pretty mind-blowing!
