DIAMOND IN THE SKY




Photograph by GUSTAVO CABANA



An incredible capture of 81 skydivers in a ‘canopy formation’. The dive occurred on November 25th, 2006 and was planned by a group called CF World Record 2005. Jumpers dropped in from an altitude of 24,000 feet, descending at an incredible 1,000 feet per minute. It’s an incredible feat that requires considerable determination and teamwork!

Picture of the Day: Snow Monkeys Lounging in Hot Springs

SNOW MONKEYS LOUNGING IN HOT SPRINGS




Photograph by YOSEMITE



Seen here are Japanese Macaques, commonly known as Snow Monkeys, lounging in the Jigokudani Hot Spring in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Jigokudani Monkey Park is famous for its large population of wild Japanese Macaques that go to the valley during the winter, foraging elsewhere in the national park during the warmer months. Starting in 1963, the monkeys descend from the steep cliffs and forest to sit in the warm waters of the onsen (hotsprings), and return to the security of the forests in the evenings. Japanese Macaques are the most northern-living as well as the most polar-living primate other than humans in the world. [Source: Wikipedia]

Picture of the Day: The Crab Nebula

THE CRAB NEBULA




Photograph by NASA



This is a mosaic image, one of the largest ever taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope of the Crab Nebula, a six-light-year-wide expanding remnant of a star’s supernova explosion. Japanese and Chinese astronomers recorded this violent event nearly 1,000 years ago in 1054, as did, almost certainly, Native Americans.

The orange filaments are the tattered remains of the star and consist mostly of hydrogen. The rapidly spinning neutron star embedded in the center of the nebula is the dynamo powering the nebula’s eerie interior bluish glow. The blue light comes from electrons whirling at nearly the speed of light around magnetic field lines from the neutron star. The neutron star, like a lighthouse, ejects twin beams of radiation that appear to pulse 30 times a second due to the neutron star’s rotation. A neutron star is the crushed ultra-dense core of the exploded star.

The Crab Nebula derived its name from its appearance in a drawing made by Irish astronomer Lord Rosse in 1844, using a 36-inch telescope. When viewed by Hubble, as well as by large ground-based telescopes such as the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope, the Crab Nebula takes on a more detailed appearance that yields clues into the spectacular demise of a star, 6,500 light-years away.

The newly composed image was assembled from 24 individual Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 exposures taken in October 1999, January 2000, and December 2000. The colors in the image indicate the different elements that were expelled during the explosion. Blue in the filaments in the outer part of the nebula represents neutral oxygen, green is singly-ionized sulfur, and red indicates doubly-ionized oxygen. [Description by NASA]

WATCH YOUR STEP!












Photography by MARAT DUPRI



19-year-old Russian Marat Dupri takes stomach churning shots of him and his friends scaling incredibly high heights without any safety harnesses. Often they trespass on private property bypassing security to ‘get the shot’. While the photographs are spectacular the risks are very real…

Big thanks to Ken M. for sharing!
