There are sharks on the highways in Florida. Unreal.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The user is joking but plenty of users are taking this Tweet as fact, as they have for dozens of storms before Ian. This is a manipulated photo with a long history on Twitter. mashable.com/article/shark-…

Two space telescopes, twice the star power. This #TransformationalTuesday, watch as @NASAHubble’s view of the Tarantula Nebula fades into Webb’s NIRCam, then MIRI instrument views. Hubble and Webb will work together to showcase the universe across multiple wavelengths of light.

It's the time of year when shorebirds begin their migration to our beaches. Look out for familiar faces, like the Sanderling and the Ring-billed Gull. You can find Royal Terns here all year long, we threw them in because we like how their style. #sharetheshore #WorldShoreBirdsDay

#Octopuses have nine brains, one for each arm and a central one that allows them to #solveproblems. They can open #clam #shells, maneuver rocks, and even have been known to dismantle the filtration systems of an #aquarium. Talk about sneaky. #cephalopod #marine #animal #nature

A snag—another name for an upright dead tree—can become a home, a nursery, a food source, a hiding place, a lookout, and eventually, decay and renew the soil. A visitor spotted this racoon taking a little rest in one of the many snags along our nature trail.

During nesting season, keep your outdoor lights off, as the hatchlings use the light of the moon to guide them back to the ocean. Artificial light can confuse them and send them in the wrong direction. noaa.gov/50-years-ocean-coas… #OceanAndCoasts50 📷: Dawn Childs, USGS
