• The New Horizons spacecraft shot this photograph of Pluto as it was flying away from the planet on July 15. Backlit by the sun, Pluto’s atmosphere rings its silhouette, creating a halo. Scientists had previously calculated that temperatures would be too warm for hazes to form at altitudes higher than 20 miles (30 kilometers) above Pluto’s surface. With New Horizons detecting hazes at up to 80 miles (130 kilometers), “we’re going to need some new ideas to figure out what’s going on,” said Michael Summers, a New Horizons co-investigator from George Mason University in Fairfax, Va.

• For Malin Hjorth (@mahjorth), drawing is a way to represent the amusing situations of life. A project manager at a kitchen company in Oslo, Norway, by day, Malin’s playful images are of collages of hand-drawn figures mixed with real-life objects or photos from interior and fashion magazines in delightful compositions. “I start out with no idea, then I start drawing. I cut out the figure or object and place it on the wall or at a photo. When composing my photo I think of the light, and of the shadow my objects are creating,” Malin says. “For one year I was an exchange student at the Academy of Fine Art in Oslo, and one teacher said to me, ‘Malin, stop talking! Start drawing!’ And I did! With my work I want people to see the humor in life.” Photo by @mahjorth by instagram http://ift.tt/1I0p8Ks

• photo by @randyolson | words by @neilshea13 — This is the story she wanted to tell. Feather, paint, and one shining eye, smudges on her cheeks made with a fingertip. She came into the center of the village and presented herself to the camera. Many others had the ingredients but only she made this. She sat calmly for the portrait and spoke only her name, which is now lost. In the years since, we have wondered about the meaning of this photograph. There is a temptation to pile a lot in, for much has changed on the Omo and there are at least two girls here. One you see. To find the other you must unmake the image. Ask her to remove the feather. Then the paint. Then go back to before we arrived, before the boys tugged on third-hand Playboy t-shirts and the girls, when they heard us coming, slipped in lip plates and smeared clay onto their faces. Go back before breakfast and dawn and roosters. Keep going. Return upriver to camp. Return overland to the capital. Bury the roads on your way, dismantle the plantations. Fire all the policemen and gather up their guns. Shut down the Coca-Cola plant. Drive out missionaries. Unbuild the dam that turns water into a question, and level the government villages where no one wants to live. Keep going until things look right. Keep leaving. At the first hotel, many miles north, the clerk will greet you with a smile. “You are covered with dust,” he’ll say. “Sometimes that is life.” Yes, sometimes. And somewhere back behind you is the second girl, the one who appears on most days, when life holds few reasons for paint or feathers. She is tending goats, or looking at the moon. Possibly she is quite happy. Thank you all for joining us during our series from Ethiopia’s Omo River. This is the last dispatch from the Omo, but we’ll be back soon with stories from the next part of our project for @natgeo, along Kenya’s Lake Turkana. You can find all the pieces of this series archived at #NGwatershedstories, and please check in for more at @randyolson and @neilshea13. #2009 #africa #ethiopia #omoriver #mursi #rivers #girl #portrait #@geneticislands #documentary #everydayafrica #journalism #instaessay #natgeo @thephotosociety by natgeo http://ift.tt/1OF8PaE

• Photograph by @paulnicklen taken while on assignment in South Georgia, Antarctica for @natgeo. I am often asked whether I get involved when I see a wild animal suffering or dying. As much as possible, I try and be a “fly on the wall” and not get involved in the natural process life and death in the wild. But, to be fully transparent, of course I rescue wild animals all of the time. I have put eagles back in a tree after a big blow, pulled drowning baby elephant seals out of the surf zone and in this case, pulled this dying baby King Penguin chick out of this hole in the ice. At this stage of life, “Oakum Boys” cannot allow their downy feathers to stay soaked as it will prove fatal. He shook off the water and waddled back to the colony. To see how Oakum Boys pack tight in a colony to stay warm, please follow me on @paulnicklen // As we move forward with @sea_legacy we will not be looking to rescue one animal at a time but to protect entire ecosystems through Marine Protected Areas. #MPA #nature #gratitude #wildlife #follow @thephotosociety @natgeocreative by natgeo http://ift.tt/1JlQ5N1

• Photo by @ciriljazbec / Marvin is the CEO of a startup company caled SoftBallot. Their vision is to shape the next generation elections by ensuring secure electronic and online voting. Ngesa is a highly motivated electrical and electronic engineering student from Nairobi. His dream is to revolutionise Kenyan elections by allowing voting to be done on an online platform visible and usable by every Kenyan. SoftBallot was selected to be one of the finalists at Pivot East 2015, a premier startups competition in East Africa. Life in Africa is changing at a speed never seen before, yet this goes largely unnoticed because the world still looks at it through a traditional lens. To counter this, home-grown initiatives are popping up, sending a different picture of Africa to the world, and to Africans themselves – because their own perception of themselves is key for social development and innovation. @ciriljazbec @natgeo #Nairobi #Kenya #Africa by natgeo http://ift.tt/1CX9iUq

• This is what corn seed looks like when it is treated with the neonicotinoid pesticide Chlothianidin. Each color indicates a different concentration of the pesticide. Neonicotinoids have been getting a lot of scrutiny lately because they have been found to be very harmful to honeybees. For example, one of the purple corn seeds shown here has enough pesticide to kill 100,000 bees if they came in direct contact with it. The tricky part is, bees typically don’t come in direct contact with treated seed since they are planted directly underground. Instead, the pesticide penetrates the seed and becomes incorporated into all of the plant’s tissue. So bees come into contact with low doses over longer periods of time as they collect contaminated pollen. In the lab, low doses have been shown to kill honeybee larvae and affect their navigation abilities. However, it is harder to prove what is going on out in the field. On top of that, neonicotinoids were designed to replace older pesticides that were more harmful to humans and other vertebrates. So it turns into a complicated trade-off when it comes to regulating these chemicals.
