More Science

From the latest newsy thingy from Nature. First up a medieval scientific instrument, a stripped down astrolabe quadrant - this one could only be used during the day - lets call it the astrolabe nano, rather than the full astrolabe-pod. These things were used for time and latitude telling. This is, apparently, only the 8th one found.


and now, more giant squids!!
I like them ... and today we have video of a giant-ish squid - this species grows up to 2.5m attacking some bait. And it glows!! I want a glowing squid. Please?
