Fossil hunters in Korea discovered long-dead spiders preserved in rock. And to the delight of scientists, the arachnids’ eyes are still reflective — some 110 million years after the creatures died.
It’s rare for insects — which are far more brittle than shelled sea creatures — to become fossilized in rocks. But for reasons still unknown, a couple of these spiders did fossilize, and the unique shape of their eye structures continue to reflect light — even in their petrified form.
The reflective eye structure is called a tapetum, and it’s often used by creatures who hunt in the dark.
“So, night-hunting predators tend to use this different kind of eye,” Paul Selden, director of the Paleontological Institute at Kansas University’s Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum, said in a statement. “This was the first time a tapetum had been in found a fossil.

The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling are back. And despite the era it’s set in, the recently released Season 2 tells a story centered around women that — for better and worse — feels utterly timeless in its relatability.
Yet oddly, the events that have taken place between Season 1 and Season 2 make it almost feel like GLOW is returning to a different world than the one it premiered in.
#MeToo and Time’s Up have transformed the way we talk about women’s inequality and sexual harassment, especially when it comes to trying to make it in Hollywood. One GLOW Season 2 scene in particular, from an episode titled “Perverts are People, Too,” feels like the show’s deliberate response to that seismic shift in cultural conversation. Read more…

Even in these futuristic modern times, phone cables still get lost, especially in the dark. Anyone who’s ever fumbled around trying to plug in their phone before bed, or tried to charge up in the back of their friend’s car, knows that. And that’s just half of what makes the Electron Flow MFi-Certified Charging Cable so special.
Not only does this five-foot cable glow a bright neon color when plugged in (admit it: cool), but it’s MFi-certified by Apple, meaning it meets the rigorous standards determined by Apple itself. That means the makers, Neva Tech, worked to make sure their product could pass every test and would charge just like a cord direct from the Apple Store.
