Even though they look light and fluffy, clouds are made of millions of microscopic water droplets suspended in the air. They float because the warm, moist air beneath them is less dense, creating an upward force that keeps them suspended. For example, an average cumulus cloud can contain up to 500 tons of water—basically the weight of 100 adult elephants.

In Adélie and Gentoo penguin colonies, males show their interest in a female by offering her a special stone. It isn’t just any rock: they look for one that is smooth, shiny, and just the right size. If the female accepts it and places it in her nest, she is saying 'yes' to the pairing. It is their equivalent of an engagement ring

Some species of young spiders cast silk threads into the air and let themselves be carried by natural electric currents in the atmosphere, in a phenomenon called 'electric ballooning.' They don’t need wind: they detect the electric fields that form between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere, and their silk becomes charged, creating a force that propels them upward; this way, they can travel kilometers or even cross oceans while floating.

In the center, the galaxy shines white, while its blue arms spread out forming perfect spirals. Around it, countless galaxies and points of light in shades of orange, red, and yellow remind us that our cosmos is full of worlds yet to be discovered. The exception is a bright star at the top, which belongs to our own Milky Way and is 'only' a few hundred thousand light-years away.
