Today I found out that rabbits can swim, but the best part is how their ears fold back when they do. This information needed to be shared

Ikarie XB-1 is a 1963 Czechoslovak science fiction film directed by Jindřich Polák.
It is loosely based on the novel The Magellanic Cloud, by Stanisław Lem. The film was released in the United States, edited and dubbed into English, under the title Voyage to the End of the Universe.
SYNOPSIS
In the year 2163, the starship Ikarie XB-1 is sent to the mysterious "White Planet" orbiting the star Alpha Centauri. Travelling at near-light speed, the journey takes around 28 months for the astronauts, although the effects of relativity mean that 15 years will have elapsed on Earth by the time they reach their destination. During the flight, the 40-strong multinational crew must adjust to life in space, as well as dealing with various hazards they encounter, including a derelict 20th century spaceship armed with nuclear weapons and a deadly radioactive "dark star" whose radiation causes the mental illness in the crew and all of them gradually fall asleep. After some time they suddenly wake up and one person, most affected by the "dark star", suffers a mental breakdown and threatens to destroy the spacecraft demanding the immediate return. Eventually the ship approaches the "White Planet", and the crew sees an industrial world in the viewscreens.
Ikarie XB-1 was a hit at the 1963 Trieste Science Fiction Film Festival where it won the main prize.
The film can be watched for free and with English subtitles at the archive website.
There are a few fragments of this movie at youtube too.

This little baby squirrel has decided that the squirrel milk formula is far too precious to let go of! 😀🍼
Holding on for dear life with those tiny paws, just in case someone tries to take it away. There’s absolutely no chance of that happening! ❤️🐾🥹

Julius Caesar knocked down houses and temples to build a theatre here.
He laid the foundations, and never saw it finished.
Augustus did. And he gave it to the dead.
He named it after Marcellus, his nephew and son-in-law, widely seen as his heir, who died in 23 BC.
In his own words:
Theatrum ... feci, quod sub nomine M. Marcelli generi mei esset.
"I built the theatre, to bear the name of my son-in-law, Marcus Marcellus."
Augustus, Res Gestae.
The arches are his.
The windows above them are not. In the 1500s, the architect Baldassarre Peruzzi built a palace on top for the Savelli family.
Those upper floors are still lived in today. 🏛️
