mathswithmuza on Instagram: "The Costa surface is a remarkable example of a minimal surface—a surface that locally minimizes area, meaning its mean curvature is zero everywhere. Discovered by the Brazilian mathematician Celso Costa in 1982, this surface beautifully bridges the geometry of classical minimal surfaces like the catenoid and helicoid. It has the topology of a torus with three punctures, which can be thought of as a donut shape with three holes extending to infinity. What makes it esp

Knowledge Matrix on Instagram: "NASA’s Perseverance rover captured these detailed images of the Martian surface inside Jezero Crater. The surface is covered with fine dust, scattered rocks, and evidence of ancient river channels. These visuals help scientists study Mars’ geology and search for traces of past microbial life. Each captured frame adds data to understand the planet’s history and its potential to support life. via : NASA #knowledge #nasa #mars #space #history #universe #innovation #d

Science on Instagram: "The lifecycle of a mosquito has four stages and is called a complete metamorphosis: 1. Egg – Female mosquitoes lay eggs on the surface of stagnant water. 2. Larva – Eggs hatch into larvae (“wrigglers”) that live in water, breathe air, and feed on microorganisms. 3. Pupa – Larvae develop into pupae (“tumblers”), which do not feed but remain active while transforming. 4. Adult – The adult mosquito emerges from the pupa, rests briefly on the water surface, then flies away. 👉

Joshua Eastaway | 3D Modeller on Instagram: "Quad sphere vs UV sphere, which should you use? Well, for subdivision surface modelling, a quad sphere is the ideal solution since it subdivides nicely. A UV sphere on the other hand has nasty pinching artifacts at the top and bottoms caps due to the triangular poles. Fortunately, creating a quad sphere is as simple as subdividing a cube, and running a to sphere operation with alt+shift+s, creating a quad based sphere that will subdivide perfectly. 😁
