Speedwell (Veronica) is a genus of plants that, according to molecular biological studies, belongs to the plantain family (Plantaginaceae). In older literature it is usually still listed under the figwort family (Scrophulariaceae) or as a separate family of the speedwell family (Veronicaceae). With up to 450 species, the genus Veronica is very species-rich. There are also numerous representatives in Central Europe. The German-language generic name Ehrenpreis comes from the appreciation of the Wald-Ehrenpreis (Veronica officinalis) in naturopathy: "To him be honor and prize as vera unica medicina, the only true remedy".

Piranga flava, now Piranga lutea
(Tooth-billed Tanager / Cardenal Montañero)
This male usually assumes this position when the female is eating and he watches over her from a certain distance, making sure that other birds do not disturb her.
Hepatic Tanager is the most widely distributed Piranga tanager, ranging from the southwest United States south to northern Argentina. Its English name is based on the liver-red color of the adult male from the northern part of the species' range; however, its scientific name, flava, meaning "yellow," derives from the original description, which is based on a female from Paraguay. These names reflect both a characteristic of the genus Piranga, marked sexual dichromatism, and the broad range of coloration, habitat, and behavior encompassed within the Hepatic Tanager as currently recognized.
Even though the Hepatic Tanager is currently considered one species, much evidence, including a recent study of molecular genetics, indicates that up to 3 species could be recognized, corresponding to the 3 groups of subspecies combined long ago. These groups and their respective species names are the Hepatic Tanager (P. hepatica) of montane pine-oak forests from the southwestern United States to Nicaragua, the Tooth-billed Tanager (P. lutea) of forest edges in foothills and mountains from Costa Rica to northern and western South America, and the Red Tanager (P. flava) of open woodlands of eastern and southeastern South America.

The berries of the Virginia creeper resemble purple grapes and contain tiny crystals called oxalate crystals. These crystals are also in the leaves of Virginia creeper. If the leaves or berries are chewed they can cause irritation to the lips, mouth, tongue, and throat. (Google)

Der Asiatische Löwe (Panthera leo persica), auch Persischer Löwe oder Indischer Löwe genannt, ist eine Unterart des Löwen. Das ursprüngliche Verbreitungsgebiet reichte bis nach Südosteuropa sowie in den Mittleren und den Nahen Osten. Er kommt heute in freier Wildbahn nur noch im indischen Staat Gujarat im Gir-Nationalpark auf der Halbinsel Kathiawar vor.
Nach molekularbiologischen Untersuchungen spaltete sich die Unterart vor 50.000 bis 100.000 Jahren vom afrikanischen Löwen ab. Insgesamt werden zurzeit zwölf Löwenunterarten unterschieden.
Der Asiatische Löwe sieht dem afrikanischen Löwen recht ähnlich, ist aber im Allgemeinen etwas kleiner. Die männlichen Tiere erreichen ein Gewicht von 160 bis maximal 190 Kilogramm, die Weibchen zwischen 110 und 120 Kilogramm. Die Schulterhöhe beträgt ca. 110 cm. Der Asiatische Löwe erreicht eine maximale Körperlänge von 290 cm. Die größte gemessene Körperlänge eines männlichen Asiatischen Löwen betrug, von der Nasen- bis zur Schwanzspitze, 292 cm.

=============================
The Asian Lion (Panthera leo persica), also called Persian Lion or Indian Lion, is a subspecies of the lion. The original distribution area reached as far southeastern Europe as in the Middle and the Near East. Now in the Indian state of Gujarat in the Gir National Park on the peninsula Kathiawar is the only place where asiatic lions lives in the wild.
According to molecular biological studies, the subspecies separated from the African lion 50,000 to 100,000 years ago. A total of twelve lion subspecies are currently distinguished.
The Asian lion looks quite similar to the African lion, but is generally slightly smaller. The male animals reach a weight of 160 to a maximum of 190 kilograms, the females between 110 and 120 kilograms. The shoulder height is about 110 cm. The Asian Lion reaches a maximum body length of 290 cm. The largest measured body length of a male Asian lion was 292 cm, from nose to tail.

"According to a 2020 study using a molecular clock calibrated with 27 chelicerate fossils, spiders most likely diverged from other chelicerates between 375 and 328 million years ago.
The discovery of Chimerarachne in early Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) aged Burmese amber has also demonstrated that taxa existed until the Cretaceous that had both spinnerets, and a whip-like telson."

Sharpless 126 (Sh2-126) is a large red emission nebula in Lacerta. The source of its ionisation is the star 10 Lacertae, a blue main sequence star.
The yellow reflection nebula is designated LBN 437. It is a molecular cloud whose densest part is associated with YSOs.
This region, with its faint nebular filaments, is part of Lacerta OB1, a giant star-forming region about 1200 light-years from Earth.

The Perseus molecular cloud, located at the junction of Taurus, Aries, and Perseus, about 1,000 light-years away from the Earth. It contains over 10,000 solar masses of gas and dust covering an area of 6 by 2 degrees, is the closest giant molecular cloud actively forming large numbers of low to intermediate-mass stars. Unlike the Orion molecular cloud, Perseus molecular cloud is almost invisible apart from two clusters, IC 348 and NGC 1333, where low-mass stars are formed.
By accumulating a very-long-time of exposure, the dust and gas show up, exhibit a complex and chaotic structure consisting of dense cloud cores surrounded by an interconnected network of filaments and sheets. Many voids surrounded by partial arcs or nearly complete rings are also seen. This complicated structure is one possible signature of supersonic turbulence.
The eastern (upper) end of the cloud is associated with IC 348 that contains several hundred young stars. Most of the star formation in IC 348 took place within the last 3 Myr, but some stars in this region formed 10 Myr ago. The apparent age spread in IC 348 may be an indication that two episodes of star formation have occurred. IC 348 appears to be an example of a region that is at or near the end of its star-forming phase.
The western (lower) portion of the Perseus cloud contains the most active region of star formation in the Perseus molecular cloud, including the NGC 1333 cluster. It contains around 150 stars with a median age of a million years, is one of the most active sites of ongoing star formation in the sky within 1500 light-years of the Sun. The molecular ridge extending south (left) from NGC 1333 contains many Herbig–Haro objects, which are bright patches of nebulosity associated with newborn stars.
Between IC 348 and NGC 1333, right in the middle of this photo, there is an area that appears pinky, which is a low-surface brightness HII region surrounded by a dust ring G159.6-18.5, which appears to lie behind the obscuration of the Perseus molecular cloud. The intense ultraviolet light emitted by the central star HD 278942 ionizes the surrounding hydrogen, giving this region its characteristic pink color. The star appears red in this photo and would have been a blue-white star if it were not obscured by dust. The presence of HD 278942 and its HII region suggests that that massive stars may have formed in the recent past within the Perseus molecular cloud.
BTW, the cloud of dust, which obscures the central star and the HII region, is called the“Flying Ghost Nebula” because of its shape.
The area to the west (lower) of the HII region looks relatively empty without too much dense dust, and particularly dark here because the extinction in this region remains high. Perhaps this dead-zone is the youngest portion of the Perseus molecular cloud, formed by the expansion of the dust ring G159.6-18.5.
There are more areas full of dense dust to the south (left) of NGC 1333, see another photo I took if you are interested: www.flickr.com/photos/steedjoy/50855451732/

SE SABE QUE PUEDEN DURAR MÁS DE 500 AÑOS.
Según una placa colocada en el parque de Cordellas, en Cerdanyola del Vallés (Barcelona), es un árbol de muy larga vida: puede vivir hasta 500 años.
Origen
El plátano de sombra ha sido desde antiguo considerado un híbrido originario del cruce entre los parentales, Platanus occidentalis y Platanus orientali.
A pesar de eso, no está claro su origen, que unos localizan en Londres y otros en España, e incluso en formas híbridas o no, naturales o de cultivo, de Turquía.
La cuestión no se ha investigado con técnicas moleculares modernas.
Consecuentemente, incluso su nomenclatura es motivo de discusión, por lo que los autores anglosajones no admiten la prioridad del nombre que aquí se utiliza.
Esta planta se desconoce en estado silvestre, si bien aparece naturalizada en márgenes de ríos y arroyos.
