Primatologist, conservationist, animal advocate, educator, and National Geographic Explorer Jane Goodall has died at age 91. Goodall’s decades of research into the lives of wild chimpanzees in Africa radically changed our understanding of these intelligent apes, humans’ closest relatives. Her groundbreaking work helped people understand that animals are sentient and intelligent. Read more about her legacy and work with the National Geographic Society at the link in bio. In these images: Photo 2: Goodall bends forward as Jou Jou, a chimpanzee, reaches out to her in Brazzaville, Congo, in 1990. Photo 3: Goodall takes notes as she watches chimps at play in Gombe in 2011. Through her years of careful observation, she grew to understand just how humanlike chimps can be. “When I first started at Gombe, I thought that chimps were nicer than we are,” she told National Geographic in 1995. “But time has revealed that they are not. They can be just as awful.” Photo 4: Goodall chats with middle schoolers at a 1995 event for Roots & Shoots, an initiative she launched with the Jane Goodall Institute in 1991 to educate children on the importance of conservation. As part of her mission to build environmental awareness, Goodall believed in the power of young people to make a difference. Photo 5: Goodall and National Geographic Explorer and ecologist Michael Fay travel by canoe to visit an isolated group of chimps in Goualougo Wilderness Reserve in northern Congo.

The A.D. 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius that ravaged Pompeii also buried the nearby town of Herculaneum, entombing its celebrated library at the Villa of the Papyri. Buried beneath 60 feet of ash and rock, the papyrus scrolls within baked into brittle, misshapen lumps—preserved yet so fragile that archaeologists feared touching them. Now, nearly 2,000 years after the Vesuvian tragedy, the scrolls are giving up their secrets at last. Using particle accelerators and artificial intelligence, researchers finally have the ability to virtually “unwrap” the Herculaneum scrolls and read their contents. National Geographic got a first look at what they say, including one scroll that's potentially among the oldest in Roman history. Learn what researchers have deciphered so far at the link in bio.

In 1960, Dr. Jane Goodall’s early fieldwork observing chimpanzees at Gombe Stream Game Reserve, in Tanganyika (now Tanzania), unveiled groundbreaking research of shared behaviors between humans and apes. The Jane Goodall Institute announced on October 1, 2025, that Jane Goodall died at 91. A primatologist, conservationist, animal advocate, educator, and National Geographic Explorer, her work revolutionized our understanding of the natural world.

More than 50 years ago, Apollo 8 captured the first Earthrise image. The photograph was one of the most influential pictures of all time, crediting with inspiring the growing global environmental movement. Artemis II astronauts now hope to recapture that magic on their 10-day mission. On the farthest journey humans have ever taken from Earth, they’ll have the chance to produce a new Earthrise photograph using handheld cameras through Orion’s forward windows, with only minutes and unpredictable lighting to get it right. Learn more about the iconic Earthrise image and how they might produce a new one at the link in bio. Photograph by NASA

This cheese is banned across Europe, but in Sardinia, it's a local delicacy. Casu marzu is a soft, spreadable cheese with a sharp flavor and smell, and its unusual creation process—which involves maggots eating and excreting the cheese—is believed to go back centuries. Despite being outlawed in the 1960s, the cheese is still in production today and available to those who know where to look. Learn about this legendary Sardinian cheese at the link in bio.

On Saturday, crowds in Rome witnessed the biggest drone show in Europe as 3,000 small, custom-built drones recreated works from Michelangelo and paid tribute to the late Pope Francis in the skies above St. Peter’s Square. The drone show, orchestrated by Nova Sky Stories, was accompanied by a live concert called "Grace for the World," and was the culmination of almost two years of planning.

Designed by architect Antoni Gaudí, construction of the Sagrada Família in Barcelona began in late 1883. Now, a century after his death, the basilica is almost complete. To bring Gaudí's intricate plans to life, he and the designers who succeeded him employed a variety of innovative techniques, including 3D models and drawing inspiration from nature.

On October 19, a group of thieves stole a collection of Napoleonic-era jewels from the Louvre in Paris while it was open to the public. The collection included a sapphire crown, necklace, and earrings once belonged to Queen Marie-Amelie, and the emerald necklace and earrings that Napoleon gave to his second wife, Empress Marie-Louise, on their wedding. As audacious as the heist was, it isn't the first such attempt. In fact, the museum has a long history of daring robberies—including the theft of one of its most famous paintings, the Mona Lisa.

Note: An earlier version of this story's headline misstated the timing of the Sagrada Familia becoming the tallest church in the world. It became the world's tallest in October 2025. For more than 140 years, the Sagrada Família has risen above the streets of Barcelona. Finally, this year—the centenary of architect Antoni Gaudí’s death—the basilica is nearing completion, and church and city officials have planned a year of celebrations to mark the occasion. The central tower, topped with a cross clad in glass and glazed ceramic that stretches more than 500 feet above the port city, makes the Sagrada Família the tallest church in the world (it surpassed Germany’s Ulm Minster for that title during construction in October), giving the monument a satisfying sense of finality.

In 2022, researchers entered caves in Saudi Arabia looking for bats and other biodiversity—and found seven mummified cheetahs. Ranging in age from 130 to nearly 2,000 years old, the mummies were perfectly preserved by the cave's dry climate, allowing scientists to recover and analyze their DNA. The unusual findings have become central to the debate about whether the species—extinct in the region since the 1970s—could one day return. Learn how the mummies are shaping conservation efforts at the link in bio.

A newly discovered fossil, named Kostensuchus atrox, had knife-like teeth and a bite that paleontologist and Nat Geo Explorer Diego Pol says could break you in two with just one chomp. It's smaller than the largest crocodiles and alligators found today, but its size does not rule out the possibility that it hunted dinosaurs during its time. Head to the link in bio to learn more about this discovery.

For decades, scientists have traced the origins of modern apes to East Africa. But a newly identified species—Masripithecus moghraensis, discovered in Egypt—may challenge that idea. The 17- to 18-million-year-old fossil suggests that the earliest ancestors of living apes were present farther north. This 3D reconstruction of the ape is based on the jaw bones researchers found in Egypt. Learn how the discovery could upend our understanding of early ape evolution at the link in bio.

In 1976, National Geographic asked the late Robert Redford to follow in the footsteps of the Wild West’s greatest outlaws. Redford rode horseback along the Outlaw Trail, the legendary route stretching from northern Montana to Mexico, once used by Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, and other fugitives. Along the way, he encountered remote ranches, weathered ghost towns, and landscapes that shaped both heroes and fugitives. Read the full story of his expedition at the link in bio. In these images: 1. Leaving Hollywood behind, the author joins Utah rancher Arthur Ekker to follow one of the trails haunted by a badman of yesterday—Butch Cassidy. Redford found the Wild West that was—and in some parts, still is. 2. Robert Redford party travels on horseback along the Green River. 3. Redford (seated on right) talks with locals at the Mercantile Saloon in Atlantic City, Wyoming. 4. Redford interviews Butch Cassidy's sister near Circleville, Utah. Photographs by Jonathan Blair

Liang Metanduno cave on Muna, a tropical island off southeastern Sulawesi, Indonesia, is filled with prehistoric paintings, but one stands out in particular—a claw-like hand stencil that's at least 67,800 years old. Archaeologists, including National Geographic Explorer Maxime Aubert, believe the stencil is the oldest rock art attributed to modern humans and doesn't just reveal insights into early human intelligence, but prehistoric life in the Indonesian archipelago, and migration to Australia too.
