We’re only getting started and we could already see just how beautiful nature can be especially with something like this! Who would have thought that something like this would form naturally and was not man-made, right? Very amazing to think about in our spare time! Although cold temperatures typically cause objects to contract, freezing water actually expands because of the hexagonal configuration of its molecules, which line up practically end to end. Snowflakes also always have hexagonal symmetry for this reason.
Ghost Heart
No, a ghost’s heart is not what you see here. Doris Taylor is researching a regenerative technique for heart reconstruction at the Texas Heart Institute. She was the first to develop “ghost hearts,” which are made by removing all donor cells until only a protein scaffold is left. The transplant recipient’s stem cells can be put into this ghost heart to create a new heart. In other words, a new heart that won’t be scorned can develop.
We have hope for the future because of medical miracles like this one. We hope that this helps someone.
Baby Flamingo With Its “Pretend Mum”
Because adult flamingos create bright red milk in their digestive tracts to nourish their young, this newborn flamingo lost its pink tint. Baby flamingos grow and develop their distinctive pink feathers in this manner. Quite intriguing, huh?
Adult flamingos, however, eat red and blue-green algae that contain beta carotene. (a reddish-orange pigment and an organic chemical). The pigments are extracted by their digestive system and subsequently dissolve in their lipids and feathers. So, you may say that you are what you consume.
So The Mystery Is Deeper Than We Thought!
Between A.D. 1100 and 1500, ancient Polynesians carved the enigmatic Easter Island Heads. Despite going by the moniker “moai,” people only really think of them as those fantastic enormous heads. Many people were startled to learn that enormous heads have bodies as well.
Will they discover organs if they examine one of the bodies? To safely preserve the stomach, intestines, lungs, and liver, the Egyptians kept the bodies in four canopic jars. The reason they did it was because they thought the organs will be required in the hereafter.
An Intact Human Nervous System
In Kirksville, Missouri, two medical students were given a challenging assignment, and they had the “nerve” to do it. It was difficult to separate the nervous system of a corpse starting from the brain while making sure to preserve the complete system.
The operation took more than 1,500 hours to finish. The Museum of Osteopathic Medicine at A.T. is home to this remarkable exhibit. Kirksville’s Still University (ATSU).
Not Ancient Ruins
No, neither aliens nor even humans built these strange constructions. Under an electron microscope, these salt granules resemble enigmatic Dungeons & Dragons dice.
Due to the cubic shape of salt crystals, certain salt grains have the appearance of being constructed of overlapping cubes.
The Amazing Universe
These are different planets’ auroras. Would you assume that these were all different scenes from a sci-fi movie if it weren’t labeled?

A Globe For Blind People
Even though globes are already cool, this one is far superior. This globe, in contrast to standard globes, enables those who have lost their vision to still examine the map of our planet.
For generations, there was no institutional way for blind individuals to learn geography. However, an engineer and artisan by the name of Stephen Preston Ruggles produced a map of Boston in 1830 that had wooden divots for the streets, roads, and bridges. Samuel Gridley Howe invented a technique for embossing maps in 1837.
Don’t Eat These Biscuits
Did you know that some five-pointed starfish, sometimes known as sea stars, can be born with a square shape? There are perhaps more than 2,000 different species of starfish. Starfish lack a brain and blood, instead using purified seawater to pump nutrition through their nervous system.
Most of you are already aware of their ability to regenerate. However, they regrow a missing limb in around a year, unlike Deadpool.
An Albino Raccoon
With so much hair, this adorable albino raccoon resembles a piglet or doggo. Did you know that Rebecca the raccoon called The White House home? US President Calvin Coolidge and First Lady Grace Coolidge kept her as a pet.
Raccoons are famous for their bandit-like black and white appearance, but this little beauty is a rare species. Raccoons who are albino have a harder time hiding from predators and live shorter lives because they lack camouflage.

Don’t be duped by this image, which resembles an enigmatic object or an alien. It is a digital representation of a real virus. It doesn’t let you down in terms of creepiness.
It is a member of the bacteriophage, or phage, family. They were found by Félix d’Herelle in 1917 and Frederick Twort in 1915. Because phages were being utilized to treat cholera at the time, experts were unsure of how they operated. In order to comprehend how phages function, researchers first employed an electron microscope in 1940. Bacteria are infected by this virus, which needs the bacteria to proliferate and survive.
No Wonder Why They Always Look Stiff

Darkness is Spreading
An eclipse seems like this when viewed from above. Don’t pass judgment, but it appears that darkness is engulfing Earth, much as in The Lord of the Rings.
The astronauts on the decommissioned Mir space station initially posted this picture on the Astronomy Picture of the Day website. The shadow is thought to have traveled across the Earth at a speed of close to 2000 kilometers per hour. Wow!
A Balloon’s Worst Nightmare!
All that was left of this dead cactus after it decomposed were the spikes. Hollywood is currently adapting it into a film called Attack of The Zombie Cactus.
We think it looks like a collection of zip ties, however the owner of this cactus claims that the wild variety has spines that are over 2-4″ long.

A Split-Colored Lobster
This split-colored lobster is one of every 50 million lobsters that have this color. In fact, this occurrence is so rare, that this photo right here should be considered a treasure as such an occurrence is very rare. This leaves us wondering just how many more times would we still see pictures of an occurrence like this as well as if we would even see something like this on other animals!
It’s interesting to note that this lobster exhibits a trait called gynandromorphism. It implies that the male is on the brown side and the female is on the blue side.
