What are Dermoptera?

Ever hear of Dermoptera?

They are colugos or flying lemurs.



These gliding tree mammals are from Asia. Even though they are known as flying lemurs, these animals don't really fly and they aren't really lemurs either!

They are from the family Cynocephalidae.

Aberration in Science

What is an aberration?

It is the apparent displacement of a star owing to the orbital motion of Earth plus the bending of the light rays from the star.

The aberration causes a star to appear to trace an ellipse about its true position as the Earth travels around the sun.
