The mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell is a fact which is often discussed on the internet.

Nocturnal, brass, gilt. Handle and pointer in form of sea serpents, English, late 17th or 18th century
This navigation tool, known as a nocturnal, was used to calculate time at night. Similar to an astrolabe or a sundial clock.

A team of specialists from the universities of St Andrews, Reading, and Newcastle carried out the investigation of the site, which is a mound on Bodmin Moor, located in southwestern England. It consists of a rectangular bank of earth and stone formed with 56 standing stones, some measuring up to 1.8m, which are either leaning, recumbent or partially buried. It’s protected by Historic England, which listed it as an early medieval animal pen from around 1000 AD. However, there had been some speculation that due to integrated standing stones, the mound was much older.
The team used a technique called optically stimulated luminescence, or OSL – the date the mound to the neolithic period making it around 5500 years old – 4000 years earlier than previously thought. OSL is used to date when sediment was last exposed to light, prior to burial.

three person poly relationship made up of two people who are already dating trying to coax someone with horrific self worth issues into a loving relationship. stray cat style
they’re all laying together in bed and the couple are both thinking to themselves like good, he stayed the night to cuddle and talk when we offered, he should know that we genuinely care for him and want this to be more then a handful of one night stands. and the stray cat guy is like wow this sure is nice i think i’m falling in love with them. it’s really too bad that they don’t actually give a fuck and hate me and probably want to kill me with hammers for no reason
