I refuse to believe this image of the eclipse is real, as much as I wish it is. Not that it couldn't be real. It can. I've seen plenty of photos of eclipses taken from space, but this one is just too awesome to be real. Read More >
If you were lucky enough to live in Asia or the western United States or anywhere in between, you would've been graced with the clear sight of what looked like a ring of fire in the sky. Or more specifically, an annular eclipse. Here are the best pictures we've seen. Read More >

H&M has apologised for ads that critics say depict an unrealistically tan and skinny model. Sure Isabeli Fontana looks emaciated and fried, but she's Brazilian, so that makes sense right? Bullshit. This person could never exist. A Hamburg street artist shows us how Photoshop has destroyed our ideal of beauty with the cleverest adbust we've seen in years.

These gross distortions of cheek, lip, and nose look can top the most hilarious images ever made with any Facetime warp effect—and these are real. Read More >
Spotted on the Central line tube in London: A chap reading (and annotating!) some paperwork titled "The Basics: What is a penis extender?" True, he was probably an overworked copywriter working on a particularly-embarrassing project as Reddit commenters suggest, but please don't rain on my parade anymore than the existence of penis extenders already have, mmmkay? Click below for a more detailed, erm, read. [Reddit via @IanVisits] Read More >
Here's why the Air Force is the best: not only do you get to fly awesome drones, every once in a while your superiors say Oh, fine, we'll throw another foam party, and the jets are doused in fire suppressant. Read More >

"I don't know if it's the same foam that's used in the jets themselves but if a pilot pulls the fire extinguisher lever in the plane, it releases a foa..." More »
On January 8, 2005, a huge cyclone as strong as a Category 1 hurricane hit Sweden and Denmark. Its name was Gudrun and it blew at sustained speeds of 78.3mph (126km/h) with wind gusts of 102.5mph (165km/h). It killed 22 people and struck down 75 million cubic metres of trees. Read More >
So why exactly did CERN spend billions and billions of pounds building the Large Hadron Collider when Ikea sells a perfectly good alternative, the Hädrönn Cjölidder, for considerably less cash? Sure, its Compact Muon Solenoid is made from ugly particle board, but think of the money you'll save by building it yourself. Read More >
This is not a screensaver. Nor is it what happens if something goes wrong at the LHC, or the result of too much LSD. In fact, it's what happens if you have an over-active imagination and go out light paining with a remote control helicopter. Read More >
There's just over 20 days to wait till Prometheus hits our screens, and I simply can't wait. We've seen the incredibletrailers, amusing teasers, and a load of shots from throughout the film, but have you seen just how incredibly detailed those awesome-looking space suits are? It goes to show why Ridley Scott's incredible attention to detail makes his films just so good. Read More >

Hello Jessica Starr, weather woman of FOX Detroit, you don't seem to be wearing any clothes. In fact, you look invisible! Is this meteorologist sorcery? A camera trick? A fashion faux pas? A bit of everything actually. Read More >
That round mirror in the sky we call the moon got super-sized this past weekend but that doesn't mean the supermoon looked bigger from everywhere! Because on the ISS, the supermoon looked more like a squishy, deflated, pruny moon. Read More >
I hope you're not as easily fooled as I am because I totally missed the two F-16s in this picture. I have an excuse! I was totally looking at the left hand side of the picture. And the picture I saw was really small! Like thumbnail-sized! Read More >

I was amazed when I saw the 65-foot-high Lego cathedrals, one of the largest warehouses in Europe that holds 19 billion Lego pieces a year. But this Christian Stoll's photo of one of DB Schenker's warehouses in Germany has left me speechless. Read More >
