That really is interesting. I have often wondered how a little bird's brain survives those thunderous blows without rattling around in its skull like a BB in a bottle.

The Hubble looks at the dust. The Web looks through the dust.

I meant to say. Maybe we should start a "Really Interesting" thread. But then I thought, who determines what is Mildly Interesting vs. Really Interesting? It's so subjective.

@bachophile WTF is that? It looks like a stubby cargo ship but what is the structure on the left?

When I was a kid we had this guy Newton somewhere in our school, and he made a bunch of laws.
As I recall something about something continuing in the same direction unless a force acted upon it. So, this "author" expects me to believe that a huge mass of spinning stuff can reverse direction in just a handful of years?
Ever played with an out of balance basketball? That's our earth! Literally like a basketball. Same color too. -

Also the more I learn about franchise models the more they seem really predatory.

I assume the, lucky, photographer was probably looking away from the explosion when the flash occurred. It seems like most people in that area would be, at least temporarily, blinded.

If i remember the story correctly, the photo (or the negative) was found in a school from where the photo was taken. Dont know what happened to the photographer.
