MRO Spots Martian Dunes in Motion

A rippled dune near Herschel crater undulates in the thin Martian wind.

 

The dark sand of this barchan dune changes position between June 15, 2008 and May 21, 2010.

 

"The benefit of long-term observations from orbit became evident today with the release of images from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter showing the subtly shifting motion of large sand dunes on the red planet, proving that the surface of Mars is much more dynamic than previously believed !"

Brother Benoît and the Grand Organ

"Brother Benoît is a lowly member of a religious community somewhere in France (but you don't need to speak the language to understand this animation - no words are spoken as such). He is given all of the menial work to do. One day the head of the community tells him to clean the grand organ in the church which is a vast task. Fortunately he has the help of a half witted hen which wanders in to the church – so all is not lost!  
This is a treat – and it is no wonder that Frère Benoît et les Grandes Orgues (to give it its original French name) won the Audience Award at the Soleure film festival in 2010. It is directed and designed by Michel Dufourd and produced by Nadasdy Films. If you are a fan of 2001: A Space Odyssey, hang on in there till the very end !"  Kuriositas

Gotcha Kombucha ?

Kombucha World Color by *raccoonsounds

Kombucha Is a Fermented Drink That’s Good for Your Gut and Easily Made at Home

Kombucha has grown in popularity over the past few years around the same time as kefir and probiotically-augmented yogurts. Like yogurt, kefir, and sourdough bread it requires a starter culture which is added to black or green sweetened tea. The result is a tart, fizzy drink (0.5% ABV) that tastes a little like apple cider and is touted by many for health benefits.

The story of the first photograph

"If you look carefully, you can see the outbuildings, courtyard, trees, and surrounding landscape as Nicephore saw it through his window, all the way back in 1826. And the rest is history."

Trapestry+ Flower

by ~FireLilyFractals

No, this isn't a macro photograph ! Trapestry+ Flower by *FireLilyFractals is a silken fractal dream blossom, perfectly colored and textured to look like the real thing. Though made at the end of December 2007, this was meant to be appreciated in the spring! ~ Mary Thornton's fractal gallery is full of beautifully created sensations. Be sure to give it a browse.
