A list of intriguing things
One: This isn’t Casper the underwater ghost but a Blanket Octopus which has sheets of webbing between its arms. So when threatened, it just stretches out its arms and goes ’BOO!’
Two: This is not a gorgeous ribbon but the image of a dead star that exploded in a supernova some 10,000 to 20,000 years ago. It’s so pretty that NASA waxed poetic when tweeting out the image: “Appearing like a delicate veil draped across the sky, this @NASAHubble image reminds us of the power of imagination.”
Three: This amaaazing 3D interactive globe allows you to see how any town/city has moved—drifting across the planet—over the course of 750 million years! Just enter your city and hit the forward or back arrows to move through time (or use the menu at the top). It’s truly awe-inspiring. This is Bombay.
