This is a VERY rough timelapse of the lifecycle of a giant owl butterfly as captured in a human hand. The video begins with a tiny egg, proceeds to several stages of caterpillar growth before a chrysalis, and, finally, a butterfly. Man, I can’t wait for my own metamorphosis. It

These are two videos of Paris circa the 1920’s that have been restored, stabilized, colorized, and remastered at 60FPS. The first predominately features famous buildings and monuments, and the second one more human activity. They were a trip to watch. To think that this was captured over 100 years ago.

Assembled by photographer Eirik Solheim using still photographs (and audio) he took of a Norwegian forest from the exact same spot over the course of a year, this is a timelapse video of the seasons changing the landscape as time marches on. And time never stops marching, does it? As

This is a video of taekwondo practicioner minsungimdang demonstrating his insane skill with a flipping and twirling jumpkick that absolutely devastates four boards. That poor wood! Of course I say jumpkick but he’s actually launched into the air by two helpers. Regardless, dude is basically the fifth ninja turtle. Plus

Because there’s absolutely zero shortage of wackadoo ideas on the internet, here’s a couple videos of rollerblader Ilia Savosin hacking the Matrix and performing a variety of tricks with custom skates he made using computer keyboards, flatscreen monitors, laptops, and computer mice.

Drone footage shot by wildlife filmmaker Carlos Gauna and UC Riverside biology doctoral student Phillip Sternes off the coast of Santa Barbara, California shows what might be the first ever newborn great white shark captured on film. Some more details about the rare sighting while I fondly remember the original

Because Mother Nature never ceases to amaze (I once saw her ride a mechanical bull upside down waving her legs like arms), this is a timelapse video of a stick insect molting its old skin. It’s so crazy to think this is the process that evolution developed over tens of

This is a video of a human seal demonstrating he has the skills to pay the bills, provided the bills can be paid by repeatedly catching pieces of shrimp in his mouth tossed his way by a hibachi chef. Not to brag or anything, but I’m pretty good at catching

So I was going to hire someone (I was thinking a trained monkey but we’ll see what the money allows) to start migrating some of my old Geekologie work (read: smut) over to BornInSpace so it can live on the internet forever (and ramp up the overall posts per day).

Note: Check your volume, windy. These are two videos of speedwing paraglider David Edwards demonstrating his skill by making an incredibly precise landing next to a friend sitting on a bench. FULL DISCLOSURE: Yes, I did hope he was going to land right on top of dude’s head. Still, that
