In Greek mythology, Autumn began when Persephone was abducted by Hades to be the Queen of the Underworld. Quite upset, Persephone’s mother, Demeter (the goddess of the harvest), caused all the crops on Earth to wither until her daughter was allowed to return, which was miraculously the beginning of spring.

If you like fish, think about this! Farm-raised salmon is usually white, so salmon farmers add carotenoids, a type of plant pigment, to the fish feed to produce the natural pink color that wild salmon exhibit.

When certain kinds of fish disappear, scientists look to geologists to explain why. The geologist will look to activity in the ocean to find the reason. Geologists use much of the same tools as archaeologists to collect samples in their field of study.
