Tragically, this was one of the astronauts who died in the Challenger.

This should be higher

I just assumed they were like skin-balloons

After some research, it seems he repainted it because he wasn't satisfied with the colors and overall mood of this one, as he felt he didn't capture the true beauty and majesty of the night sky. In fact, he didn't even like the famous repainting we all know, because he felt it was too abstract. Reminder that your art and everything you put into this world is probably much more beautiful than you think. 💙

gorgeous. could be used as an album cover

It's like a negative of the Eye of Sauron

Definitely using this as an album cover or mtg card art

Solar or lunar eclipse? Anyone know?

Wow

Wow. I had no idea there was such a massive difference in size.

Looks like a rock thrown into snow.

She looks happier than a bridezilla wearing a $2000 dress.

As some who has only ever lived in flats lands, this is haunting in a way I don't have words for.

Skye

Well, not quite. It's the oldest known living, non-clonal tree. There are a number of things older though. Expessially if you count clonal colonies, which can be in the 10s of thousands, and doubly so if you get into microorganisms that are potentially revivable, with at least one successful revival of a million year old organism and candidates for revival over 100 million years old.

its so cute and fuzzy!!

Ammonite

This is after polishing. Straight after the lightning strike it looks like opaque branching coral because it's coated in sand grains that have stuck to the surface.

had to zoom in!

That’s an amazing photograph

i didn’t really realize this was a thing in the US until i read an article a while ago about it and it really made me wonder how you guys consider this to be “fair”, like i’m genuinely really curious.

NO

So fluffy.

Need more info. For example, the measurement you're taking is probably blood flow, in which case obviously exercise increases blood flow. Also, without further information we don't know if this extra activity is due to damage repair, cleaning out the lactic acid toxins produced by the exercise.

There are a few more than four actually. 8 billion to be precise

Big bada-boom.

The twisted ends are gorgeous! I bet this looked amazing on!!

I saw an old lady the other day who had just one finger and a thumb on each hand, and she was *amazingly* dextrous with them. Us humans are so adaptable!

I think I felt everyone of them during dentist appointments

That sky...🤩

Aw...so sweet!

i can’t remember the name of the map that is more accurately projected, but y’all, africa is HUGE. the whole continent can fit an insane amount of other countries in it (i think it’s like six chinas or something?) and this is coming from a russian. WE NEED MORE ACCURATE MAPS

“watch where your goin! I’m oozin’ here!!”

This place would smell AMAZING.

Are they bacteria colonies causing the colors?

Love this chart!

Pompom

A lotta water in the world

Where is the human animal?

The Canadian side (Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park) is beautiful too!

You can physically feel the words move front to back as you say them!

Need a banana for scale.

But how did they know what color his eyes were? Edit: kind of looks like Gerard Butler when he was younger.

I assumed this was one of us Americans. It's sad that I'm actually pleasantly surprised it wasn't us this time.

Her name is Wendy, she lived a perfectly healthy and normal life. She died in 2017 at just shy of 14.

I'd try really hard to get ahead of a truck with a load like that.

Don’t cross your eyes. Instead, hold the phone up against your nose and slowly move it away from your face. It should form a 3D image

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day...🎶
