Photo by @nicholesobecki | Sand is born as tiny pieces of rock and shell break away, their hard edges softened by time. Life in the desert polishes each fragment to smooth, round grains, fueled by the wind to reach their final forms. Arriving at Rub’ Al Khali, or the “Empty Quarter,” the harsh, vast beauty moved me to silence. Known for its distinct desert environment, devoid of nearly all life, this place has never supported a permanent human presence—nomadic tribes like the Bedouin could only pass through. Following the descending ridges with my eyes, I tried to picture the caravan lines, human and camel forms advancing steadily on, nearly swallowed by the enormity of the cascading dunes. | From the known to the unknown, discover Abu Dhabi at your own pace: @VisitAbuDhabi

Sealed inside a ceramic funerary pot for over 4,500 years, an ancient Egyptian man’s skeleton has revealed a surprising secret: his exceptionally well-preserved DNA. It's the first time scientists have been able to sequence the oldest complete genome from Egypt's Old Kingdom period—offering the chance to reconstruct his face and reveal new insights into the era.

Multiple exposures of these moths, known as snouts, were taken near photographer Rogier Maaskant’s home in the Netherlands as part of a larger project highlighting the ecological importance of often overlooked insects. “The world of nocturnal insects is both modest and spectacular, as earthly as it is magical and as mundane as it is special,” Maaskant said.

Listen all day every day! 🎧🎶 Get lost in the music with the new Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones. Created in partnership with @SonyElectronics to showcase their best wireless noise canceling headphones yet. #SponsoredBySony The WH-1000XM6 were designed with optimal comfort, improved portability, and better battery life in mind for travelers and music lovers like me. Tuned to perfection with mastering engineers for ideal sound, these headphones are the ultimate upgrade! I love the easy “double tap” to start my tunes and the world’s best noise cancellation to block out all the background sounds/distractions. Check out the link in my Bio to grab a pair or learn more! 🎥 #Hyperlapse collaboration w/ @TommyLundberg. We created this orbiting match-cut effect using photos that were shot handheld and then stabilized into a smooth frame animation. I shared a look Behind the Scenes on my Story. Let us know if you enjoyed the results! #FortheMusic #SonyHeadphones #hyperlapsevideo #creative #travelphotographer
