June 19 - Wildlife Working Night Shift

June 19 Wildlife Working Night Shift by:

More wildlife now working the night shift​​ It's getting harder for wild animals to find human-free spaces on Earth. New research suggests that human disturbance is creating a more nocturnal natural world. Tick's worst day ever preserved 100 million years     A bit of amber preserved a drama from 100 million years ago, an interaction between a tick and  a spider.  Circumpolar stars don't rise or set​ They stay above the horizon all hours of the day, every day and every night of the year Summer solstice tale of 2 cities​​ On the June solstice, the sun will set at the same time in New York City and St. Augustine, Florida. But New York will have an hour more of daylight. How's that happen? All you need to know: June solstice​ The solstice happens this week. Longest day for the Northern Hemisphere. Shortest day for the Southern Hemisphere. Either way ... a good time to celebrate!
