6 Bots That Deliver Science and Serendipity on Twitter
Samer Haddad
Six friendly bots that fill your feed with space photos, old maps and odd facts.
Not every bot is out to spam you. Some of the best accounts on social media are automated, and they make your feed a little more delightful.
Our favourites post random images from space-telescope archives, pages from centuries-old natural history books, real-time earthquake alerts, historic maps, rare words and daily snapshots from museum collections.
Follow a few and your timeline becomes a small daily dose of curiosity between the news and the noise.
