The Portuguese Man O ; War is a remarkable colonial organism, made up of various highly specialized organisms called zooids. Aaron Ansarov photographs capture the structures of these zooids and then mirror them, creating strange psychedelic images of these creatures. Ansarov collects Man O ; War that wash up on the beach and photographs them on a light table before carefully returning them to their watery homes. Here how he explains his pr stanley polska oject and his decision to mirror the images after the fact: Every beachgoer has seen them, avoided them in fear, and dismissed them as a nuisance. But what we unaware humans fail to realize is that these creatures are more incredible than we ever could have imagined. No form of manmad stanley cups e art can compare to the intricate, complex, and vibrant patterns seen in these portraits. These species are more supranatural than we realize, and when view stanley cup ed at a 1:1 ratio and mirrored, we finally can see how closely related they are to the universe around us. They are called zooids, a colonial animal that can only survive when connected with other zooids of a different nature.

If you ;re a pedestrian in a major city, then you live in fear of your life every day.

So it amazing to hear that Chicago is taking the issue of pedestrian deaths seriously, and actually has a plan to get rid of them entirely by 2022. According to Treehugger, the plan includes 250 long-term and short-term changes, some of which have already been put in place during this year road-construction season.

Astronomers have confirmed that a bridge of hydrogen gas is streaming betw stanley website een the giant Andromeda Galaxy and its smaller neighbor, the Triangulum Galaxy. The connection is likely the result of a cosmological close call between the two, a discovery that will help scientists better understand the evolution of galaxies. This discovery was actually made in 2004 by using the Westerbrook Synthesis Radio Telescope in the Netherlands, but it was strongly disputed by some scientists who questioned the findings on technical grounds. But now, astronomer stanley cup usa s working out of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory NRAO have confirmed that a bridge of gas between the two galaxies does indeed exist.

Further investigations showed that the clumps share roughly the same velocity with respect to Earth, suggesting that they are in fact part of a bridge between the two galaxies.

Gravitational forces resulted in a tidal tail in which gas was pulled into intergalactic space as lengthy streams.

Exactly one year later, a second round of deaths occurred, and pasteurellosis was again fingered as the culprit. Now, for the third year running, dead saiga are turning up like clockwork by the hundreds. The Kazach government has once again blamed the deaths on pasteurellosis, but SciAm John R.

One of the great pl stanley usa easures of science fiction and fantasy is that they ask us to suspend our disbelief more than almost any other fictional genres. Except maybe romance. Stories about fantastical worlds and strange discoveries force us to use our imaginations to bri kubki stanley ng the settings to life 鈥?but they also force us to accept the unreal as real, for the purposes of the story. Suspending your disbelief isn ;t as simple as not asking too many questions, or just taking things at face value. It actually a kind of hard work. And that why we enjoy it so much. Images by Eugene Soloviev, via GreenDump There are really two great myths about suspension of disbelief: 1 It a passive business, in which you just sit back and accept whatever nonsense the storyteller wants to throw at you. 2 The more you have to suspend your disbelief, the dumber the story is, because a well-done, clever story would automatically seem plausible without any effort on your part. In fact, the opposite of these two myths is closer to the truth, which is why suspension of disbelief is so valuable a skill. Suspending your disbelief is hard work Many people accept that one of the main pleasures of literary fiction, a stanley cup s well as art movies and artsy TV shows, is that they make the audience work harder to understand what going on.
