Very interesting, though the way UFOs are explained away will always seem somewhat simplistic. I guess it’s because I’m not a scientist involved in rockets, astronomy and the like.

It was the first and until now the only landing in automatic mode of a shuttle in the aerospace history.

How about that?

mental_floss Blog & Extreme Weirdness: Antarctica’s “Blood Falls”   Leave a comment

There is a glacier in Antarctica that seems to be weeping a river of blood. Itâ€s one of the continentâ€s strangest features, and itâ€s located in one of the continentâ€s strangest places — the McMurdo Dry Valleys, a huge, ice-free zone and one of the worldâ€s harshest deserts.

Nice collection, many categories. In the Constellations category, when I look at the photos, I can’t recognize the figures, there are so many more stars than I’m used to seeing in my light polluted town.

The beauty of our Miracle Planet’s inner space.

The barreleye (Macropinna microstoma) has extremely light-sensitive eyes that can rotate within a transparent, fluid-filled shield on its head. The fish’s tubular eyes are capped by bright green lenses. The eyes point upward (as shown here) when the fish is looking for food overhead. They point forward when the fish is feeding. The two spots above the fish’s mouth are olfactory organs called nares, which are analogous to human nostrils. Image: © 2004 MBARI

Physica Curiosa. What fun. Creating chimerical monsters resembling your religious, political or even sports opponents might be a good entertainment today. Someone add George to the mix, please.
