This Is What Sunset Looks Like From Space
Even in times of scientific and technological advancements, our beautiful planet remains full of mysteries. From the incredible bismuth crystal that looks like it came from some sort of sci-fi film to the enchanting glowing forest in Japan with its luminescent mushrooms scattered along the forest floor, there are so many exquisite finds on Earth. They make us question how much about the place we inhabit we don’t really know.
Some of the most standout mysteries that have been captivating the imagination of many throughout the years include Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. The structure consists of a ring of standing stones, with each stone standing approximately thirteen feet high, seven feet wide and weighing 25 tons. It’s believed to have been built about 5000 years ago, but scholars still do not agree on what its purpose could have been.
Another mysterious object is the stone spheres found in Costa Rica, located on the Diquis Delta and on Isla del Cano. There are over three hundred petro spheres scattered throughout the country that are still considered a great, unsolved archaeological mystery. The heaviest of them weighs many tons, and they’re believed to be made of granodiorite.

Sendai Daikannon, One Of The Tallest Statues In The World
M Calad 3 years ago
I am fascinated by the optical effect of the design. The statue is not at full body length, it's around 3/4, missing the bottom 1/4. This makes the brain believe that the statue goes lower (like if the legs of the statue extended down), therefore it's perceived longer than it actually is. How cool!

The UK Is Full Of Charming Crinkle Crankle Garden Walls
In England you sometimes see these "wavy" brick fences. And curious as it may seem, this shape uses fewer bricks than a straight wall. A straight wall needs at least two layers of bricks to make it sturdy, but the wavy wall is fine thanks to the arch support provided by the waves.

Giant Puffball Mushroom My Sister Found In The Woods

You just earned my respect 👏👏👏 well done!

This one is Calvatia gigantea. The majority of puffballs world wide are edible. There are some lookalikes - including some deadly ones - however if you slice the mushroom and it is white with no visible gills inside it is almost certainly fine. There are no large poisonous puffballs. These have a faint mushroomy-earthy taste, not strong.
Aaron W 3 years ago
Yes, and yes. It tastes like a regular mushroom but not as strongly flavored.

Wow and wow! Fry it in a bit of butter, and enjoy this rare treat. A mushroom big enough to share with your whole neighbourhood.

I've eaten one of those at a party! We were taking a mycology graduate course and our professor identified one that was the right level of ripeness for eating. We grilled it and it tasted a bit softer than a portabella, more like marshmallow texture. Obviously don't try this unless an expert has identified the mushroom.
Bjarne McDonald 3 years ago
Flip it in eggs and breading, and fry it in a lot of butter. Taste wonderful!
Heather Marie McKeon 2 years ago (edited)
My grandfather and I used to go mushroom or puffball hunting to look for these when he was still alive. We live in Indianapolis but drive to Greencastle where our forrest property is and can find them there around September or so. But they must be harvested at an exact time or they go to a ball of dust very quickly. Thetes a certain right "thump" sound they make when flicked with your finger. 👌🏻 lol..We would take giant slices of them and fry them in butter. Its heartwarming seeing others with this tradition. My grandpa is looking down with a big smile on his face. I just know it.

Are they edible? If so, you can use them like Portobellos. They would be a great meal for vegetarians. Sauteed in butter. YUM!

This Device Is Used To Measure Lengths On Maps. Simply Roll It Along Streets You Want To Use And It Tells You The Distance
Maiun 3 years ago
My grandad worked for British Ordnance Survey in the 1950s and 60s, he went out, measured the landscape and then hand drew maps. When he died, we cleared out his home studio and I found at least 6 of these in various draws, boxes etc. I remember sitting with him as a child running them over maps to see where we were in relation to landmarks etc. I still love looking at maps 30 years after his death as it reminds me of the gentle, kind soul he was.
