This is a video captured aboard a Varda space capsule launched by SpaceX that’s reentering the earth’s atmosphere at around Mach 25, or around 17,500MPH. That’s fast. Varda developed the W1 capsule for companies that want to test or manufacture in space (in this case, drug manufacturing in zero-gravity). The

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.

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

Because nature is a trip, this is a video captured by SCUBA instructor Frida Yolotzin of a young rainbow tripod fish in the waters of Cozumel. After maturity, the fish relocates to the abyssal zone of the deep sea at depths of 0.5 – 3 miles, where it will be

This is a comparison video from Red Side (previously), this time comparing the top speeds of various species of birds (whether walking or running). It begins with the slow 2.4MPH march of the penguin, and works its way all the way up to 242MPH dive of the peregrine falcon. Damn,

Captured by nature photographer Fernando Maidana, this is a video of a capybara (a giant rodent, like my previous roommate turned out to be) smoothly running across the bottom of a river at the Recanto Ecológico Rio da Prata in Jardim in Brazil. I assume it opted for the underwater

Because magic is everywhere, these are a couple videos of Japanese Youtuber Hoshizora Camping (turn captions on to follow along) constructing a ring to place around a metal secondary combustion stove that produces fire tornadoes with “woven” flames. How cool is that! Am I going to start a house fire
