O’Neill: Let me ask you something. Why’d you become a pilot?

Sheppard: I think people who don’t want to fly are crazy.

O’Neill: Well, I think people who don’t want to go through the Stargate are equally as whacked.

When cultured in a dish, neural stem cells can form three-dimensional clusters known as neurospheres, allowing researchers to investigate the stem cell-like properties of these neurons.

A fairy ring is a naturally occurring ring of mushrooms. They are also known as pixie’s rings, faerie circles, or elf circles. The English believed that fairy rings were where fairies came to dance and celebrate, the mushrooms of the rings were used as stools for the fairies to recuperate during the evenings festivities.

When I was young I spent a lot of time in Ireland because my parents would always want to go back to their homes often. My mum used to tell me about faerie circles and she said that if you disturbed the ring by touching it, all the magic creatures would come and get you. I actually saw one of these rings for myself and was terrified the elves would come for me.

HANK HAS TO SCIENCE ON THIS

When the spore of some kinds of mushroom hits the ground to begin its life cycle, it will radiate out from the point of genesis with tiny little threads called mycelium which are actually the physical body of the fungus. The mycelium stretches throughout the soil, feeding by decomposing matter and, if there’s good food and consistent soil structure in every direction, it will radiate out in a nearly perfect circle. Eventually, when the center of the ring runs out of nutrients, the fungus goes into it’s spore production phase, and sends up “mushrooms” or the fruiting bodies of the fungus. These are all produced at the same time around the edge of the mycelium, taking all of the nutrients from the mycelium to produce these reproductive spore factories.

So each mushroom is not an individual organism, but rather the fruit of a sort of sub-surface fungal tree.

To me, this is even cooler than elves and fairies.

well let’s just keep them faerie circles because I’d like children to keep their fantasies and childhood memories

Agree to disagree…I would rather children revel in the excitement, beauty, wonder, and power of the real.

Science and fairy tales needen’t exclude one another. Both stories can co-exist.

This US M4 Sherman Tank was stranded on the reef during the invasion of the island of Saipan during WWII. Its turret is still frozen in time, taking aim at a Japanese gun emplacement on the beach.

G spotted this in the surf while we were on the way to the airport and we just HAD to swim out to it. Being able to take this photograph made for the GREATEST 30th birthday present.

I relish the kilograms of irony of those who’ll inevitably make the greater effort of publishing this without the origin, creating their very own mockery at every reblog.

Artist Appreciation: Phil Noto’s Hank Pym’s Photo Archive.

This is one of my favorite projects by an artist. Not only is each of his works beautifully detailed, but Noto also seems to turn these fictional superheroes into real life people. I love the use of actual dates in order to show us a glimpse into the real lives of these characters. I feel like I would see this “photographs” in old issues of TIME Magazine or something. Fantastic.

Previous Phil Noto posts: Havok and Polaris, Betsy Braddock (1983), and Winter Storm (1978).

I love this so much

He’s so great at making them real.

Oh wow, these are so lovely.

look at this magnificent bastard right here

Another rare piece that goes through my fan-material filter. I don’t care if these are zomg superheroes brought into a realistic light, everything in these drawings, “camera” positions, anatomy, perspective, depiction of speech, glances, movement, emotion, body language, that photogenetic split second photographers could die for, are so well-made yet in a carefree sketched style it’s uncanny and makes me shiver.

The first color movie of Jupiter from NASA’s Cassini probe shows what it would look like to stretch the globe of Jupiter onto a rectangular map and watch its atmosphere evolve with time.

The clip consists of 14 unevenly spaced steps, each a true-color cylindrical projection of the complete circumference of Jupiter, from 60° south to 60° north. The animation spans 24 Jupiter rotations between Oct. 31 and Nov. 9, 2000.

The black blips are not errors, but Jupiter’s moons.

On Jupiter, storms would govern the local identity as biomes do on Earth.
