Taken by astronauts Eugene “Gene” Cernan, Ronald Evans and Harrison Schmitt on their way to the moon on December 7th, 1972, The Blue Marble depicts earth as viewed from some 23,000 miles away, and just celebrated its 50th birthday yesterday. What a photo! And they captured it from just the

This is a video showing the movement of the Taipei 101’s tuned mass damper during the recent 6.9-magnitude earthquake that hit the country. The tuned mass damper is a massive 16-foot, 660-metric ton sphere suspended between the 88th and 92nd floors of the building that swings to counteract any movement

This is an absolutely magnificent 4K video of earthrise as seen from the moon, created by Youtube user Seán Doran using images captured by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Kaguya Orbiter. It features several different angles too. What a trip — Earth looks so small. If you squint though you

These are three videos (United States, Europe, Asia) from Business Insider detailing what earth’s coastlines will look like if all the world’s ice melted, resulting in a 200-foot rise in sea level. WATER WORLD — great movie. Of course we don’t actually have to worry about all the earth’s ice

The images were taken at a distance of approximately 1,000,000 miles from the planet and feature a glimpse of the far side (aka

Almost ten years after scientists first noticed the cracks growing, the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica has calved, leading to the formation of a 1,270-square kilometer (~490 square mile) iceberg roughly 150 meters thick. Obviously, I plan on towing the iceberg to California where I’ll secure the record for world’s
