Time (physics): Who started counting our current time or is it just "set" by some scientific measure?

A spotted eagle ray’s natural pattern is on as-if-by-designer display. “On one of my dives, this beautiful eagle ray caught my eye,” says Palomeque Gonzalez. “It swam calmly across the sandy bottom as it exposed its intricate back to us all.

Conservation efforts have transformed former poachers into protectors. Amid this success swims the rare leucistic green sea turtle.
