This tree tunnel in Pahili, Thailand, has a peculiar optical illusion. It appears extremely dark from the distance, but once you're in the lightning level is naturally adjusted [video: buff.ly/457KuYf]

Tal día como hoy, 5 de enero de 1713, nacía Jorge Juan y Santacilia, jefe de escuadra de la Real Armada, ingeniero naval, científico y espía: paradigma del ilustrado español. Calculó el grado del meridiano terrestre siendo guardiamarina, e impulsó su sistema de construcción.

The air entering a peregrine falcon's nose during its high speed dives (320 km/h) would cause its lungs to explode, but bony tubercles in its nares safely regulate the passage of air. Engineers solved the air intake in jet engines in a similar way.

Antarctic science generates massive data volumes… currently taken by ship once a year! Slightly better latency if a fibre can be deployed But also lots of permit challenges for all these extreme cables

In 1971, Soviet geologists working in Turkmenistan set a crater on fire to prevent the spread of methane gas, expecting it would burn for a few days. The hole has since been burning for over 52 years and is know as The Door to Hell.

El muro de Berlín no solo dividió la ciudad. También creó algunas paradojas urbanísticas. Como, por ejemplo, el edificio que se construyó sobre la autopista más grande de Berlín. O los solares donde los grafiteros borran sus murales. O un estadio #berlinespobreperosexi 🧵👇
