Curiosity Science Contest Response #1 - The Rise And Fall Of A Star (An Educational Dialogue)
We join two wild-haired trolls called X31 and X42 and listen in on their educational dialogue about the cosmos. They discuss some of the most out-of-this-world concepts about the lifespan of stars, beginning with star-dust, proto-stars, red giants, white-dwarfs and black-holes.
It is said, that when a black-hole reaches singularity (where the laws of physics no longer apply), mass is drawn into a fourth dimensional sub-reality that is irrelevant to our time and space.

Kopi luwak: the most expensive coffee of the world is made from wild cat feces!!!

In this post (part of a series documenting strange animals), videos and links are provided from some of the very few recorded sightings of this eerily beautiful deep-sea dweller. <
Understanding Depth of Field: The factors that affect DoF
I’m a big fan of photography. I took a class once but life got in the way and I don’t remember a single thing, so when I came across this post, I put it aside for when my mind was clear and I had some time to really study it.
I’m glad I did! This article is chock-full of really great information and gorgeous pictures. Once again, I don’t feel right about using
