THREE FUN CORAL FACTS - Thanks to the @greatbarrierreeffoundation in celebration of #WorldWaterDay2019 (read more reef facts via barrierreef.org⠀ •⠀ 1. A coral reef isn’t one ‘thing’, it’s actually a community of life that lives and thrives in one location.⠀ •⠀ 2. Scientists have discovered that many parts of a coral reef can be harvested to make medications to treat cancers and other illnesses.⠀... •⠀ 3. Reefs grow where there are stronger wave patterns and currents. They help to improve the surrounding water quality, acting as a giant filter that traps things floating in the water, which makes for cleaner water all around.⠀ •⠀ Find out more about the beauty and wonder of #Thegreatbarrierreef and find out how to support the incredible work of the foundation. Protecting one of planets most beautiful ecosystems.⠀ •⠀ #Fortheloveofnature #naturepatterns #coralreef #braincoral #beauty #naturedesign #interconnectivity #biodiversity #ecology #wellbeing #savethesea #worldwaterday

THE GEOMETRY OF PLANTS - an essay by @anna__patternity⠀ •⠀ We've been revisiting some of our earliest pieces of pattern exploration and re-discovered an essay written by cofounder Anna written for our long-time #PATTERNIPALS @bompassandparr on the powerful geometry of nature...⠀ •⠀ Here's an excerpt from an essay written in 2013 below.⠀... •⠀ Read the whole long form article via patternity.org - search #fibonacci⠀ •⠀ "Pattern is a universal language that connects us all – it shapes the world around us. Understanding how spontaneous pattern formation occurs has the power to unite many disparate fields –from science to sociology, architecture to anthropology, music to mechanics – engineering to environmentalism.. and beyond. Most importantly – being more aware of the world around us and our collective connectivity can generate a good dose of much needed empathy. Being more aware, considering the bigger picture can remind us that we are all part of a greater whole and perhaps by that token this might positively shape the way we engage with our environment and each other."@anna__patternity⠀ •⠀ #fibonacci #systemsthinking #wellbeing #connection #patternconnection #harmony #language #universal #nature #natureconnection #geometry

PATTERNIFACT⠀ BEYOND THE #ENIGMA⠀ •⠀ #AlanTuring may be better known as the father of theoretical computing who cracked the Enigma code, but his interest in the powers of pattern to create and conceal extended to the sciences of chemistry and biology, too.⠀ •⠀... Fascinated by the organic development of regular, repeating patterns in everything from the stripes of a zebra to the human finger, Turing formulated an elegantly simple theory that could explain how stripes, spots, swirls, rings – even limbs and lungs – come to be created by the growing body - and indeed throughout the natural world.⠀ •⠀ Find out more science, pattern and nature facts at PATTERNITY.org/research⠀ •⠀ #turing #turingpattern #science #evolution #animal #patternsthroughtime #species #origin #sealife #thepatternsthatconnect #connectivity #everythingconnects⠀ •⠀ PHOTO: NUDIBRANCHS, GASTROPOD MOLLUSKS.

PLANETARY LOVE PATTERNS⠀ The Beautiful Dance of Venus and Earth⠀ •⠀ When plotted geocentrically – from an Earth-centered perspective – there is a beautiful petal-like pattern in the movement of Venus. After 8 years, it returns to the same place in the sky on exactly the same date. This rhythmic cycle was of great importance to, ancient peoples such as the Maya, and many today know it as the famous Venus cycle, or the pentagram of Venus - as captured here.⠀ •⠀... Venus orbits the Sun at an average distance of about 0.72 AU (108 million km; 67 million mi), and completes an orbit every 224.7 days - and when she does she creates this mesmerising mandala of the skies.⠀ •⠀ Most planets also rotate on their axes in an anti-clockwise direction, but Venus rotates clockwise in retrograde rotation once every 243 Earth days—the slowest rotation of any planet.⠀ •⠀ A reminder of the 'unseen' beauty of the patterns that shape and connect our lives⠀ •⠀ #Harmonics #venus #planets #venus #danceoftheplanets #resonance #space #beauty #resonance #floweroflife #sacredpatterns #macro #micro #dance #spiral #cycle #mandala
