These are a couple beautiful timelapse videos released by the European Space Agency (ESA) of astronauts Thomas Pesquet and Shane Kimbrough spacewalking while installing new solar arrays on the International Space Station. Thank goodness neither one of them got hit by one of those rotating arrays and got booted out
This is a video captured by Eagle, Idaho resident and stargazer Jordan Ragsdale of a blazing meteor that briefly lights up the 11PM night sky even brighter than daylight. Pretty wild, right? Of course that wasn’t really a meteor, that was aliens. And it makes sense they’d want to land
This is a video from some whale watchers in kayaks hoping to catch a glimpse of Moby Dick when a whale breaches right in front of them, yelling the whole time in very loud whale language, “GET OUT OF THE WAY YOU FOOLS!” Per the person who reposted the video

The facility, the size of seven football (soccer?) fields, contains
Visual learning: it’s way cooler than just reading a boring textbook and writing dirty words in the margins. And to prove that, this is a video of The Action Lab’s James Orgill sticking his hand in a vacuum chamber and sucking all the air out. His hand blows up like
