Very Large Telescope HD Timelapse Footage

A couple of things I want to point out: at 1:10 into the video, you see the Milky Way rising majestically over the mountains, and you can see a faint, whitish glow stretching diagonally across the field of view, at an angle to the galaxy. That’s called the zodiacal light, and is caused by the reflection of sunlight by dust in the plane of our solar system. It’s probably due to eons of collisions grinding asteroids into dust; they tend to orbit the Sun in the same plane as the planets. It’s actually a disk of dust, but since we’re in it, we see it as a line across the sky. It’s pretty faint, and you need dark skies to spot it. Read more.

China's Ghost Cities

Vast new cities of apartments and shops are being built across China at a rate of ten a year, but they remain almost completely uninhabited ghost towns.

It’s all part of the government’s efforts to keep the economy booming, and there are many people who would love to move in, but it’s simply too expensive for most. More info.

Mind is blown. Elephant painting a picture of an elephant.



Watch this elephant paint a beautiful image of an elephant holding a flower. You'll be amazed at how her talent unfolds as she carefully completes each stroke. Her mahout talks to her throughout the process as his gentle touch gives her confidence. She focuses on her work and seems to enjoy the approval of the audience and, of course, the sugar cane and banana treats. All of her training has been reward based.

So touched by their horrific backgrounds and loving personalities, ExoticWorldGifts.com now supports, "Starving Elephant Artisans" by selling their paintings so they can continue to have a new life in Thailand. Own a print of the art for $15.

Some Thai elephant experts believe that the survival of the Asian elephant species will most likely depend on the good treatment of the elephants in well managed privately owned elephant camps. All of us would prefer that all of the elephants be free to be in the wild. For many reasons, that is not possible at this time.

Metropol Parasol - The World's Largest Wooden Structure



The Metropol Parasol in Seville, Spain is the largest wooden structure in the world. Designed by J. Mayer H. Architects, the monumental structure provides shade for Roman ruins, a museum, and businesses below its canopy, while pedestrians can walk along rooftop promenades. Its size is 150 x 70 meters. Photos don’t do it justice–this aerial video of the Metropol Parasol at the end of the page by giraldatv gives a sense of its scale.

Parkour Dog

Parkour, also known as free-walking, is damn impressive to watch when done right. Videos on YouTube get tens of millions of views as free-walkers bravely leap between rooftops, over fences, along walls or up trees—anywhere two feet and a firm grip can get you. The goal is to get from one point to another in the most elegant way possible, even if that second point is 20 feet up a building facade, or blocked by errant construction materials.

Well, free-walking is not just for humans anymore. Meet Tret, the parkour dog. He is better at Parkour than most people. Watch him climb trees, do trick jumps, and leap from building to building like it’s an average day at the park. Two extra feet are a big asset it seems. That is one well trained animal.
