I don't know if this counts as ongoing science, but I have always just been amazed by chrysalis. Gross little caterpillars hatching and then wiggling around doing caterpillar stuff for a while until they find a private place to "die".
Then they get all crusty and a beautiful butterfly hatches and does totally unrelated butterfly stuff. It just blows my mind that some organisms can be born twice.
