Science is weirdly beautiful (and beautifully weird).

This is more about pretty than about science. I had a microscope when I was a kid, and I knew about Volvox, really wanted to find some, but never saw any "live". Suddenly remembered that last week and went hunting on YouTube.
Here they are... sadly, this vid cuts off abruptly before the musical piece is complete.
And then there is this. All the wonders around us...

My astronomy pix/vids thread is as desolate as the surface of Ceres.
Darmok has a skywatcher thread that he pretty much tends to alone.
Maybe the science nerd Aspies are all at work and too busy to post - I was, til I retired.

Part of the issue, imo, is that WP traffic is overall very low, and traffic is the Science section is even lower. WP used to be MUCH more vibrant, but like many forums it is dying on the vine.
Cute. Very cute. I was looking for the pepto-bismol one, but this will do
