Being strunk by lightning can leave a tattoo-like marking or scar known as a Lichtenberg figure.




This is interesting... blue is the most rarely occurring pigment on our planet.

These blue morpho butterflies do not have a single pigment of blue in their wings.

The microscopic structures of their wings filter out all light except this blue you see. It’s all diffraction.

There are no vertebrates on this planet (that we know of) who produce blue pigment.

The Cát Bà Archipelago in northern Vietnam is made up of 367 islands that span 100 square miles (260 sq. km) in the southeastern edge of Lan Ha Bay.

The largest island — also called Cát Bà — has roughly 13,000 inhabitants, with an additional 4,000 people living on floating fishing villages

off the coast as seen here. The island is the adventure-tourism capital of Vietnam, with places to mountain bike, rock climb, hike, and more.

Florence, the capital of Italy’s Tuscany Region, is seen here flanking the Arno River.

Noted for its culture, Renaissance art and architecture, monuments, and museums, the city attracts millions of tourists every year.

Among Florence’s many red terra-cotta roofs, we can see one of its most iconic sights — the Santa Maria del Fiore, or Florence Cathedral,

which is home to the largest dome built of brick and mortar in the world.

Cars wind down the hill of Lombard Street in San Francisco, California.

With eight hairpin turns dispersed over a one-block section in the Russian Hill neighborhood, Lombard is often referred to as

“the most crooked street in the world.” In recent months this area has seen significantly less traffic due to the city’s shelter-in-place orders

and a decrease in tourism.








The Bush Fire is currently burning through large tracts of the Tonto National Forest in central Arizona.

In these infrared Overviews captured on June 21, red areas represent living vegetation and grey areas show land scorched by the wildfire,

which is already the fifth-largest in Arizona’s history.

As the fire has gone relatively unnoticed in a jam-packed national news cycle, it has already burned more than 186,000 acres in the last 11 days.

The Bush Fire is burning simultaneously with the Bighorn Fire — nearly 60,000 acres burned — and to the north by the Mangum Fire — nearly 70,000 acres burned.

For a sense of scale, these two Overviews here show roughly 10 square miles (6k acres or 25 square km) and 60 square miles

(37k acres or 150 square km).

Rub’ al Khali — or “The Empty Quarter” — is the largest sand desert in the world.

It covers 251,000 square miles (650,000 sq. km) and includes parts of Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates.

As seen here, the center of the desert contains a number of raised, hardened formations that were once the sites of shallow lakes, thousands of years ago.
