Nearly Frozen Waves Captured On Camera By Nantucket Photographer

Photographer Jonathan Nimerfroh found himself staring at an ocean full of Slurpee. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean looked like it due to the unusually cold temperatures that were making it freeze. Lakes freeze every year, but oceans freezing is a rare sight. The photographer/surfer/ocean enthusiast set out to capture the beauty of this rare event. While the partially-frozen waves churned and h

10+ Times Nature Made Us Say “NOPE” (WARNING: This List Might Be Too Scary For You)

Not everything in nature is as beautiful or as hilarious as we’re mostly used to. It has a dark side, too, and I’ll completely understand if this list by Bored Panda forces you to build a pillow-fort in your living room and avoid going outside for a week. From a mama centipede protecting its babies to a wasp colony building a nest around a discarded doll, these pictures feature some of the

Photographer visits lost Mongolian tribe, captures stunning photos of their life and culture

Human civilization has come a long way since the early days of our species. Rising out of caves and undeveloped lands, humans have built cities and homes that the early generations could never have imagined. The widespread growth of globalization has made it harder for historic cultures to be preserved. This is what makes the Dukha people of Mongolia so fascinating and amazing. The nomadic trib

What If The Moon Was At The Same Distance As The International Space Station?

Ever wondered what would happen if the Moon was as close to Earth as the International Space Station (ISS)? Well wonder no more, thanks to this video. It was created by the channel yeti dynamics back in 2013, but has been doing the rounds again after being posted on Reddit.

The Super Blue Blood Moon Is Making People Feel Extra Moody

There is some serious anticipation for tonight’s super blue blood moon and luna eclipse. A ‘super blue blood moon’ sounds pretty cool, and it is, and to break it down – the ‘super’ bit means the moon is closer to Earth than usual, ‘blue’ means it’s the second full moon of the month, and the ‘blood’ part is down to the moon’s reddish hue. But there’s one extra thin

Heavy Snowfall Hits Tokyo, And The Results Are Pretty Much What You’d Expect

Downtown Tokyo saw its heaviest snowfall for years this Monday, causing travel chaos throughout the city. Cars were stranded and abandoned on roads, trains stopped running and people were left stuck at the airport as 250 international flights were cancelled. “It hasn't snowed in Tokyo in four years,” Tokyo resident Yukimura, which coincidentally enough means 'Snow Village' in Japanese, told

Some friendships might seem unlikely, but in reality, move mountains and melt hearts.

Freezing -62C Weather Breaks Thermometer In World’s Coldest Village

The world’s coldest village, in Siberia, has reached near-record low temperatures, literally breaking the thermometer. The remote village of Oymyakon is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world. People actually live in the icy village despite their eyelashes becoming covered in frost, minutes after stepping outside. A new electronic thermometer stopped working after rec

NASA’s Breakthrough Discovery of the First Truly “Earth-Like” Planet

On July 23, 2015, NASA announced the discovery of the first truly Earth-like planet. This find comes thanks to the Kepler Space Telescope, which was launched in March of 2009 and has been planet hunting for the last 5 years. “It is the first terrestrial planet in the habitable zone around a star very similar to the Sun,” said Douglas Caldwell, an astronomer at the SETI Institute in Mounta
