Science Stuff

This is my secondary blog (the 1st one's about anime) and I will be posting just cool chemistry, biology, physics stuff

Forged in a Flash: Volcanic Lightning Forms Glass Balls

Inside towering clouds of volcanic ash, stunning lightning storms can create tiny crystal balls, a new study reports.

Researchers recently discovered smooth glass spheres in ash from explosive volcanic eruptions. Kimberly Genareau, a volcanologist at the University of Alabama, first spotted the orbs while scanning ash from Alaska’s 2009 Mount Redoubt eruption with a powerful microscope. She also found them in ash from Iceland’s 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption.

Climate Change Is Happening Faster Than You Think

Climate change IS HAPPENING. How bad is it, and how bad is it going to get?

This amazing space landscape in the southern constellation of Ara (The Altar) is full of different celestial objects. Star clusters, emission nebulas and active star-forming regions are just some of it observed.

The new image above is the most detailed view of this part of the sky so far, and was taken using the VLT Survey Telescope at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile. read more here

Changing Face of the North America Nebula

This GIF reveals how the appearance of the North America nebula can change dramatically using different combinations of visible and infrared observations from the Digitized Sky Survey (DDS) and NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope.

The most all penetrating spirit before which will open the possibility of tilting not tables, but planets, is the spirit of free human inquiry. Believe only in that.

Mendeleev's Birthday

So today is Feb 8th and this is the day when a great Russian scientist who thought up the periodic  and predicted the properties of many unknown elements was born 181 years ago

I so need to do this....

[agust-the]

I wanna spread as much positivity as I possible can

So reblog if you’ve ever:

Self harmed

Felt lonely

Been bullied

This new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows three of Jupiter’s largest moons parade (seems the perfect word for it) across the giant gas planet. This happens only once or twice every 10 years.

Here’s a more clear view to it:

How your eyes trick your mind

Look closer at optical illusions, says Melissa Hogenboom, and they can reveal how you truly perceive reality.

Visual, or optical, illusions show us that our minds tend to make assumptions about the world – and what you think you see is often not the truth.

Throughout history, curious minds have questioned why our eyes are so easily fooled by these simple drawings. Illusions, we have found, can reveal everything from how we process time and space to our experience of consciousness.

European Southern Observatory released a new image taken with their VISTA survey telescope which reveals the Trifid Nebula in infrared light. By that, astronomers can see right through the dust-filled central parts of the Milky Way and spot many previously hidden objects.  I really like how the brightest stars look like dandelions in the new image.
