This is a drone video captured by astrophotographer Göran Strand of a sunbow rising over Östersund, Sweden. The sunbow (technically a solar halo) was caused by the sunlight interacting with frozen ice particles in the air, causing the light to be refracted. Crazy, right? Still, I would hate to be
This is a video from a Korean foundry where giant hex nuts are made (imagine the Erector Set you could build with those things!), detailing the process in which steel rods are transformed into some of the biggest nuts I’ve ever seen. The North Atlantic right whale excluded of course,
This is a video from Wired highlighting the work of chalk artist Kurt Wenner, who creates realistic perspective pieces on a large scale. In the video, he discusses the various pieces he’s made, his process, and the challenges that arose while creating them. It was an interesting watch. Maybe not
This is a 60 Second Doc (plus another) video detailing the work of Sydney, Australia tattoo artist Jonny Hall, who produces tattoos with UV reactive elements. Jonny makes it clear he didn’t invent UV tattoos, but he’s known for adding UV elements to his realistic tattoos. I wonder how long

This is a video that, just like the title describes, imagines various microscope objects on a human scale, beginning with a hydrogen atom resized to 5cm, and making its way through various bacteria and viruses, a city-sized sperm, and a continent sized dust mite. I learned a lot by watching
