The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD is one of history’s most famous volcanic eruptions. Before the disaster, Pompeii was a bustling Roman city. The first major event of the eruption was a cloud of volcanic gas, ash, and pumice that rose high into the sky, eventually raining down on the city for hours and causing buildings to collapse. Following this, a series of pyroclastic flows—fast-moving currents of hot gas and volcanic matter—swept through Pompeii, instantly killing all remaining inhabitants. The final stage was the burial of the city under a thick layer of ash and pumice, which perfectly preserved it for centuries until its rediscovery in the 18th century.

The life cycle of a butterfly, known as metamorphosis, is a remarkable process consisting of four distinct stages. The first stage is the egg, which is often laid on a leaf. When the egg hatches, the second stage begins: the larva, more commonly known as a caterpillar. The caterpillar’s main job is to eat and grow. Once it has grown enough, it enters the third stage, the pupa. The caterpillar forms a protective casing around itself called a chrysalis. Inside, it undergoes a radical transformation.
