A surfer experienced seconds of extreme tension when, upon taking on a huge wave, she was unexpectedly in the middle of a wild scene: a seal fled desperately while being chased by a orca.😱

Right in the middle of a rainy moment, a tiny bird becomes the star of something truly magical—a perfect water droplet lands on its head, forming a crown-like splash that feels almost unreal. The timing is flawless, capturing a split second where nature turns playful.

A true once-in-a-lifetime shot. An extremely bright Perseid meteor streaked across the sky over the Great Pyramid of Giza at dawn this morning, with Jupiter and Venus glowing in this picture-perfect cosmic moment. ☄️🛕

This painting technique is something else

🚨 Artemis II Update: This morning, the crew looked back at Earth from 41,756 miles (67,200 km) away—witnessing a breathtaking crescent view of our planet. 🌍 No human has seen Earth in this phase, in person, since 1972.

NOT FLAT…

We just saw the exact moment a star exploded for the first time ever. Astronomers have achieved a rare feat: imaging the exact moment a massive star detonated—and the explosion was anything but spherical. SN 2024ggi, a supernova located 22 million light-years away in the spiral galaxy NGC 3621, was detected a mere 26 hours after ignition. This extraordinarily early discovery allowed researchers to train the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile on the event while it was still in its infancy. Using the technique of spectropolarimetry—which analyzes the polarization of light to reveal geometric structure—the team uncovered a surprising truth: the expanding shockwave was distinctly aspherical, elongated into an “olive” or prolate shape along one primary axis. This asymmetry means the catastrophic rebound following the star’s core collapse did not propagate uniformly in all directions, directly contradicting the long-standing assumption that the deepest layers of a core-collapse supernova explode spherically. The progenitor was a red supergiant 12–15 times more massive than the Sun that had exhausted its nuclear fuel, triggering gravitational collapse of its iron core. In most supernovae, the initial shape of this breakout is quickly obscured as the blast wave slams into the star’s outer envelope. Here, however, astronomers captured polarized light signatures of the still-unobscured ejecta, freezing the explosion’s geometry in time. The discovery carries far-reaching consequences. It strongly suggests that asymmetry is common, if not universal, in the earliest phases of massive-star deaths. Current theoretical models, which often assume spherical symmetry at the core, will need significant revision. Moreover, these distorted explosions could help explain observed peculiarities in supernova remnants, the production of gamma-ray bursts, and the kicking of neutron stars and black holes to high speeds at birth. By catching a star in the act of dying asymmetrically, SN 2024ggi has given us a vivid glimpse into the violent, chaotic physics that govern the final heartbeat of the universe’s most massive stars.

@elonmusk @grok I need instructions on starting a charity like right now! Make sure it's legitimate and not a daycare. Make it cool too, maybe with laser 😎 😉

Btw, the proceeds of any legal victory in the OpenAI case will be donated to charity. I will in no way enrich myself.

@elonmusk I feel like we are missing " Mars Attacks"

Soooo much!!

This hilarious sloth just gave us the most magical moment! 🦥😂 It grabbed onto a shovel, and when a worker picked it up, it looked like it was levitating-almost like riding a Harry Potter broomstick!

The man, who prepared a small puddle in the forest in Brazil, wondered and recorded the creatures that would benefit from this water 👏
