    Tomorrow, 5/26: Set your alarm to 4 a.m., because a total lunar eclipse is coming. During totality, from 4:11 a.m. to 4:25 a.m. PT, the full Moon will turn dark red. The entire eclipse, from first to fourth contact, will occur from 1:47 a.m. to 6:49 a.m. PT. ๐Ÿ“ท Fred Espenak

    Are you ready for this jelly? Did you know, Comb Jellies are not true jellyfish? Comb jellies are technically Ctenophores (pronounced "tee-nuh-fours") whereas true jellyfish are Medusas, which means they have some pretty noticeable differences. (1/7).
