Japan Hasn’t Seen Cherry Blossoms This Early in 1,200 Years

So gorgeous! So depressing! The cherry blossoms in Kyoto, Japan hit their peak bloom last week—the earliest date recorded in official records and, some say, the earliest date of bloom for the trees in more than 1,200 years.

Watch a Red Hot Metal Rod Get Wound Up Into a Coil Spring

Burn metal hot enough and you can do whatever the hell you want with it. Here’s a glimpse of how a coil spring, which is used in a car’s suspension, gets made. It’s interesting that even though the machines do most of the work in shaping the spiral, there are still a lot of hands…

We Finally Know Why Spring Now Shows Up a Week Early in Cities

Something weird is happening to spring. It’s starting earlier and earlier—but not everywhere. The shift is limited to cities and heavily-populated areas. Late last year, a research study suggested that the spring season’s start was creeping slowly forward so that, by 2100, spring would begin almost a full month earlier than it does today. Now,…

The equinoxes aren’t in the middle of the solstices, and it doesn’t mean that day and night are exactly equal. It’s the point in…
