[h=3]NASA spacecraft findings paint Mars as the "rock star" of planets | Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis[/h]Mars sports a "Mohawk" of escaping atmospheric particles at its poles, "wears" a layer of metal particles high in its atmosphere, and lights up with aurora after being smacked by solar storms, researchers said. The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft was launched on November 18, 2013, to discover how the Red Planet lost much of its atmosphere, transforming its climate from one that could have supported life billions of years ago into its present cold and barren state.

Braving the freezing ice!!! :smow:

[h=3]World's largest man-made ice cave opens in Iceland - CNN.com[/h]Four years and $2.5 million later, Iceland's first man-made ice cave has opened to visitors. Located in the western part of Langjokull (Long Glacier), and 1,260 meters above sea level, the ice cave stretches deep underground giving visitors the chance to see ice that's been forming over centuries. Eyes need to adjust from the shocking bright white surface of the glacier to the dim LED-lit interior. Information about the island's receding glaciers line several sections of the cave, along with benches to sit and enjoy the tunnel.

You don't scream fake (that's the second thing you do) or analyze the photo's misleading angles meant to exaggerate the cow's size (that's the 3rd thing), you just laugh. Blosom passed away last month due to a leg injury but not before Guinness gave her the title of tallest cow ever.

Quasi Modo was abandoned at an animal shelter before being adopted by a veterinarian in Loxahatchee, Florida, according to his biography posted on the contest’s website. “My appearance can be a little unsettling to some (I have had grown men jump on top of their cars to get away from me because they thought I was a hyena or Tasmanian devil) but once they get to know me I win them over with my bubbly personality,” his biography said. Two Chinese crested and Chihuahua mixes named Sweepee Rambo and Frodo took the second- and third-place prizes, respectively.
