You won’t believe some of these.. Apparently there is evidence that these types of animals actually existed at one point. How are these even possible? The very clever Hybrid Librarian does it again with this interesting and well put together list. Some of us may have heard of bigfoot and other legends as well as…
Small Neodymium Magnet Can Lift Enormous Weights
Neodymium magnets are extremely strong and used in a lot of major industrial applications. They also make for cool experiments like this one described by the narrator: A powerful, yet dangerous magnet that can do amazing tricks. I’ve tried to make some original tricks in this video instead of just showing how much this magnet…
They Found An Exoplanet Extremely Similar To Jupiter
What does this mean? Often times we can learn about our solar system by viewing other solar systems and related formations in other galaxies. One interesting area of focus are exoplanets, and they just found one similar to Jupiter: The newly discovered exoplanet 51 Eridani b, located about 100 light years from our planet in the…
New Amazing Pic Of The Messier 94 Galaxy
Is this awesome or what! The Hubble space telescope has just taken an incredible new pic of this unique galaxy: Messier 94 (M94), also known as NGC 4736, Cat’s Eye Galaxy or Croc’s Eye Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy in the northern constellation Canes Venatici (Hunting Dogs), some 15 million light-years away from us. Astronomers…
They Just Found A New Solar Phenomenon Called “Blast Waves”
What’s that? Apparently astronomers have seen a rare occurance in a new way: Researchers have recorded a never-before-seen phenomenon bursting from the surface of the Sun: large-scale blast waves paired with particle emissions that are rich in helium-3. Extending over more than 500,000 kilometres (300,000 miles) and travelling at speeds of around 300 km (190…
What Will The Atmosphere Of Mars Look Like In The Future?
Many astronomers think Mars once had a major atmosphere. The question is what ever happened to it? To find out, NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft is flying high above the Red Planet with a battery of sensors. While previous Mars orbiters have peered down at the planet’s surface, MAVEN is spending part of its time gazing at…
Guy Makes A Homemade Lava Lamp And It’s Amazing
This home experimenter makes a cool lava lamp and shows you how. Here is the list of items you would need to make this thing: You will need: A clean 1 liter clear soda bottle 3/4 cup of water Vegetable Oil Fizzing tablets (such as Alka Seltzer) Food coloring There are also five steps you…
Watch How To Make Solid Nitrogen
The ever clever veritasium does a cool experiment with solid nitrogen: What happens when you decrease the pressure around a liquid? It boils. Water boils at room temperature once the pressure is low enough. What is interesting is that this decreases the temperature of the liquid. The fastest molecules escape, leaving the slower ones behind.…
Plasma Cutter Video In Extremely Slow Motion
The Slo Mo guys have done it again and this time they film a plasma cutter in extremely slow motion. They get footage of this thing at 2500 frames per second. It almost looks like it is going through water instead of a solid compound in the video. Note: Do not try this without the…
They 3D Printed A Jet Engine
Seriously.. This inventor made a 3D printed jet engine. This is pretty impressive and here is a diagram that he generously shared. (Note: Do not try this without the supervision of a professional): White blades are “Intake” Blue blades are “Compression” Pink blade is “Power” Green blades are “Exhaust” Intake, Compression, Combustion/Power, Exhaust Air is…
NASA Has A Nifty Plan To Send People To Mars
In NASA’s ambitious plan to send people to the moon, there is a 3 phase plan. How much of this is science fiction and how much of this is science reality? It is fascinating and 2015 has already been quite the year for new pics of Mars. And here is phase number one: Phase one…
They Discovered A Very Active Solar System Early In It’s Formation
What does this tell us?? Apparently astronomers have spotted some unusual activity in this particular solar system: From Hubblecast. Using images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and ESO’s Very Large Telescope, astronomers have discovered unique and totally unexpected structures within the dusty disc around the star AU Microscopii. These fast-moving wave-like features are unlike…
This Is A Somewhat Unlikely Treasure Trove Of Planets
Although unexpected, some astronomers have found planets orbiting stars in the Messier 67 cluster. This was considered an unlikely discovery: Although more than one thousand planets outside the Solar System are now confirmed, only a handful have been found in star clusters. Remarkably one of these new exoplanets is orbiting a star that is a…
NASA Does a Close Flyby Of Enceladus and Finds Unusual Formations
The moon Enceladus has been considered extremely unusual for a long time with some of the prior pics coming from 2004. Now, things have gotten even stranger: If you thought Saturn’s moon Enceladus couldn’t get any more bizzare — with its magnificent plumes, crazy tiger-stripe-like fissures and global subsurface salty ocean — think again. New…
Cool Optical Illusion Laser Effect Caught On Video
The ever adventurous styropyro makes another cool laser video showing some unusual visual effects! Here is an amazing effect created using a violet laser, spinning mirrors, and a glow in the dark surface. The pattern is changed by adjusting the speed of the motors. Note: Don’t try this without the supervision of a professional Let’s…
Guy Makes A Super Heavy Hammer That Only He Can Lift…Seriously?
Ambitious guy makes a replica hammer of Thor that only he can lift. Do you know how he does it? Is it super heavy and he is just amazingly strong or is it something else? I will give you a hint. It involves electronics of some sort. This is very clever and we advise not…
New Pics Of Jupiter Never Seen Before
Spacerip does it again with another awesome and informative video! The gas giant Jupiter is seen with the latest pics and it is starting to look a bit different: Scientists using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have produced new maps of Jupiter that show the continuing changes in its famous Great Red Spot. The images…
Enormous Object Blocking An Unusual Star – Update
There was a buzz yesterday on the internet about a certain star that is like nothing anyone has seen..It is KIC 8462852 and there are objects or a sphere like formation blocking light like we have never seen: And these dimming effects are significant. Scientists are reporting that at one point, the amount of starlight dropped…
Volcano In Indonesia Erupts With Blue Lava
This is pure awesomeness as a volcano in Indonesia actually erupts with blue lava. And there of course is a scientific explanation for this: Tall, mountainous stratovolcanoes like Mount Fuji remain silent for many hundreds of years before unleashing their cataclysmic fury on the world. Volcanoes on Io, one of Jupiter’s innermost moons, produce spectacular…
The Science Of Shadows And Lasers Examined On Video
Veritasium examines a question that a lot of people have not thought about. What actually is the darkest part of a shadow and why? Most of us would think it is in the middle although he shows us some live research that may point to another conclusion. He also uses a laser to make his…
