Carl Sagan told us that there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on all of the Earth’s beaches. At the same time, there are more H2O molecules in just 10 drops of water than there are stars.

Ranging from the unimaginably small to the unimaginably big, the scale of the universe is mind-boggling. Watch to try to wrap your head around it.

Carl Sagan explains the concept of the 4th dimension In this episode of his television program entitled Cosmos , Carl Sagan discusses the notion of the fourth dimension of space-time by drawing an analogy with another well-known scientific story: Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott.
A turtle stuck in the overflow pipe of a pond Alerted by a strange noise coming from his pond in Baltimore, Ohio, a man came to the aid of a snapping turtle that was stranded, its head sucked in by the overflow of the body of water. Fortunately, he managed, not without difficulty, to pull the animal to loosen it and quickly throw it on the edge of the pond, as the snapping turtle is able to inflict serious injuries with its jaw.

The noctilucent clouds Noctilucent (or noctilucous) clouds are an extremely rare type of cloud, perhaps one of the rarest, that forms in very high atmospheres ( it has been observed up to 110 km altitude, so yes, in space). They are visible only a little after sunset or a little before sunrise, mainly near the poles. We do not really understand their training at all. They could be partly extraterrestrial, that is to say to form from dust of meteorites passing in the orbit of the earth. It is also known that water vapor from rocket launchers contributes to their formations.
Kilauea lava flows in Hawaii A pink rainbow, amazing land spouts and a veritable plethora of lava flows made for a spectacular lava overflight this morning. We have often seen water spouts at the ocean entry... but this morning, due to a head downpour on the 61G flow and the right wind and heat conditions, several vortices (aka: land spouts) appeared just above the Pali. These dramatic, unusual formations look like mini tornadoes, but spin much less quickly.
