Bagworm caterpillars construct protective casings using silk, leaves, and small twigs from their environment. These insects are found globally, and the case grows alongside the caterpillar from hatching. The size of these bags can vary from about 1/4 inch to over 2 inches, depending on the caterpillar's age. Later in life, female bagworms lay between 500 and 1,000 eggs inside their bags before perishing in autumn. The eggs then hatch in May and June, starting a new cycle of life.

🔭 Accidental signal sparks gamma-ray burst discovery

Gamma-ray bursts, sudden high-energy light flashes, were first observed accidentally in July 1967. US Vela 3 and Vela 4 satellites, initially hunting nuclear tests, detected these brief flashes from deep space. Early studies tracked 16 bursts between July 1969 and July 1972, confirming a cosmic origin. NASA's Compton Gamma Ray Observatory later showed these bursts were spread uniformly across the sky. By 2003, strong evidence linked long-duration bursts to the deaths of massive stars. 🔭
