See this circle with four blotches of white?
It's light from a galaxy, 6 billion light years away, warped by a 2nd galaxy close to us.
Astronomers have known about the close-by galaxy since 1886, and Einstein himself could have seen it if he'd had a good enough telescope 🔭

Ever wanted to dance with a robot? 💃
It's now a little bit easier, thanks to some great work from researchers at MIT that uses a motion capture database to help robots mimic human movements.

Heart cockle shells evolved a semi-transparent shell to let light through to algae they keep trapped within.
But how, exactly, *does* the light get through?
Tiny, tiny windows that work like fibre-optic cables, researchers have discovered.
