Chaser the border collie has the largest tested memory of a non-human animal. She knows 1,022 different toys by name and can retrieve them all by name or category. She also understands common nouns (like house and tree) and can infer the meaning of new words based on ones she already knows. Source Source 2 Source 3

“New star-forming regions produce lots of ultraviolet light, which ionizes atoms by kicking electrons off of their nuclei. These electrons then find other nuclei, creating neutral atoms again, eventually cascading down through its energy levels. Hydrogen is the most common element in the Universe, and the strongest visible light-emitting transition is at 656.3 nanometers. The combination of this red emission line — known as the Balmer alpha (or Hα) line — with white starlight adds up to pink.”
When you look through a telescope’s eyepiece at a distant galaxy, it will always appear white to you. That’s because, on average, starlight is white, and your eyes are more sensitive to white light than any color in particular. But with the advent of a CCD camera, collecting individual photons one-at-a-time, you can more accurately gauge an astronomical object’s natural color. Even though new stars are predominantly blue in color, star-forming regions and galaxies appear pink. The problem compounds itself when you realize there isn’t any such thing as a pink star! And yet, there’s a straightforward physical explanation for what we see.
