my life has only known joy since i learned of elysia chlorotica
E X Q U I S I T E
Eastern Emerald Elysia (Elysia chlorotica), family Plakobranchidae, found along the East Coast of the United States
This creature engages in kleptoplasty, taking the chloroplasts from the algae that it eats, and using the chloroplasts for the waste products they create though photosynthesis. Its kind of a... solar powered sea slug!
These sea slugs are not nudibranch, but are in a different order of gastropods.

Behold the collection of some of the images of Cosmic Objects we have Captured so far with our sophisticated space telescopes. Keep in mind that the first telescope was made in 1608.
This implies that in less than five centuries, we advanced from inventing a local telescope to building powerful space telescopes that captured these images and unveils the universe to humankind.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, which is the most powerful telescope ever built has unveiled more mindblowing detailed images. I will be revealing some of these fascinating iimages soon. So f0ll0w Future Worlds to see them
