    "This month, four of the five naked-eye planets gather along the eastern horizon near dawn. The celestial grouping is seen here just before sunrise on May 5, from a beach near Buenos Aires, Argentina. Starting near the top of the frame, the brightest beacon is Venus. Mercury is below and right of Venus and brilliant Jupiter is lower still, near image center. Below Jupiter, Mars is relatively faint and struggles the most to shine through a thin cloud bank and the warming twilight glow. Watch, and as the month progresses the tantalizing configuration will change, with Mars and Jupiter moving higher while Venus and Mercury wander through the sky closer to the rising sun."

    "Globba Winitii is a compact ginger with fantastic blossoms - the yellow flowers project form purple bracts! The plant grows only 2 ft. tall and doesn't need full sun, so you can grow it on the patio or indoors as a houseplant. The blossoms last for weeks on the plant or in cutflower arrangements.

    "This is adorable and lovely and cute and – well, you’ll see! It is the new track by the band DandyLion and Murdock who are based in Glastonbury, in the lovely county of Somerset in England. It is called In The Woods and is all about finding friendship in a rather unexpected place.  

     This charming piece of animation was created by Ross Vernon McDonald, who was also responsible for the making of the teddy bear puppets that you can see in the video. It was shot in Loxley Woods." by Kuriositas

    "Newly released images from the European Space Agency's Mars Express show Nili Fossae, a system of deep fractures around the giant Isidis impact basin. Some of these incisions into the martian crust are up to 500 m deep and probably formed at the same time as the basin."
