Bald eagle nests are also WAY bigger than I would've thought.
Elephant tails up close are wayyyy freakier-looking than I would've guessed.
And chickens' feathers growing.
Ever wondered what the inside of a pine cone looks like?
What about the inside of a hornet's nest?
Or the inside of a spacesuit?
Or a bowling ball?
Here's what a sun pillar looks like. They're created from ice crystals in the air reflecting the sun, usually during sunrise or sunset.
Check out another interesting view from a weird angle — this is what people on a translucent dance floor look like from below.
TIL there's such a thing as a colorless rainbow. It happens with smaller water droplets — the light is diffracted rather than refracted, and you don't get the colors.
I also learned today about the "Brocken spectre," which is basically seeing your shadow in a cloud, surrounded by a rainbow ring. It only occurs in the right conditions at high altitudes.
Did you know there's such a thing as rainbow clouds? They're also known as Polar Stratospheric Clouds.
This old photo of what Mr. Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street used to look like is wild. He's terrifying. They showed this to kids???
While we're talking about original versions, here's the first Pizza Hut. It opened in 1958 in Kansas.
Did you know that McDonald's used to have only one arch? You can check out a ~vintage~ version of their sign at this McDonald's in Detroit.
As is this concrete that looks like wood.
I didn't even know a layer of your tongue COULD peel, but apparently, it can, and this is what it looks like.
This translucent leaf is also messing with my brain. It looks like ice, but it's actually a result of the leafy parts breaking down faster than the veins.
These rocks frozen in water look like a glitch in the matrix. Why were they still floating when the water froze???
This pregnant ferret is also super funny to see, especially considering how thin and tubular ferrets normally are.
Did you know there's such a thing as a white giraffe?
Volcanic lightning also feels like something that would be made up for a disaster film, but it's 100% real.
