Truly uplifting to know there are capybaras in a little hot spring in Japan listening to Patsy Cline.

100 years of hurricanes hitting and missing Florida, visualized

Florida has withstood more direct hurricane strikes than any other state, and is often grazed by storms that end up making landfall elsewhere.

However, until Hermine made landfall in September, Florida had gone more than a decade without a direct hit from a major storm.

See how nearly a century’s worth of hurricanes hit and missed the state.

Simone Biles isn’t just incredible, she’s a scientific phenomenon

Simone Biles is officially a superstar and a scientific marvel.When Biles pulls off her signature move, her distance from the floor is basically equal to her height. She gets that high up on the strength of her muscles, propelling herself with enough speed and kinetic energy to actually reach that height. And the way she lands literally seems to defy physics.

Today we remember musician Prince with his portrait from our National Portrait Gallery.

Artist Lynn Goldsmith photographed the pop icon holding his guitar, a number of which were custom-made for him in that style. 

One Yellow-cloud electric guitar that Prince designed and used is also in our @amhistorymuseum. Made in 1989, it features Prince’s distinctive symbols on the top and the side of the fingerboard.
