Seeing Earth thousands of miles away in a Hollywood movie is great, but even more amazing when it happens in real life. A new video and timelapse released by Elon Musk’s SpaceX did just that, and it’s pretty mind-boggling.

Both NASA and SpaceX remain busy when it comes to spaceflight. NASA’s Artemis SLS rocket is busy doing their own thing, and they both have upcoming missions to land an astronaut on the moon. After seeing this, I can’t wait to see footage from these missions.

Shell shards found in a cave in South Africa have given researchers the earliest evidence that prehistoric people roasted and ate snails.

Other studies point to the consumption of snails in Europe around 30,000 years ago and in Africa around 40,000 years ago. “There is a huge gap between this and our findings,” says Marin Wojciszekwho did new work until…
