I thought the images of the sun spot and solar activity were especially hot!
 
(See what I did there?  )

Very cool indeed. Maybe I could pour sand atop the neighbor kid's Acura and have him crank the subs. OTOH, I wouldn't want to encourage the miscreant.
 
I've bookmarked the sand video (http://io9.com/the-most-incredible-thing-youll-watch-today-is-this-vi-511739457) for the next why-ARC-doesn't-work debate.

That sand video has been posted here a couple of times so I made my own test result:
 

 
 

Very cool. I hope we find out what created the Amazon maypole structure.

It's just a satellite dish for a family of spiders.

?? You can get real maypole from Amazon for $12.06 here---> http://www.amazon.com/The...&keywords=maypole.

Those are some pretty cool pics. The 18 foot oar fish find is kinda creepy.I wonder how much larger they get. Maybe this is  a percentage of the sightings that people attribute to  monsters.Seeing part of that thing come out of the water would  raise a few eyebrows.

 
That sunspot picture is incredible.
 
Just recently reading of the Apollo space program and the effect that the sun  has on space travel. This is one reason some folks think the flights were bogus.The space craft was made of such thin aluminum that the astronauts would have been bombarded by UV in lethal doses.
 
I think we were mislead on the Apollo flights. There are faked pictures and movies.  I think we may have gone to the moon but not in the way most of the GP thinks we did.
 
Lots of other reasons why things don't line up but I don't want to derail...unless it's fun.

It would be extremely difficult to pull off a hoax like this for so many years.  So many people were involved including the folks at NASA, the numerous commercial subcontractors, the scientists who later analyzed the moons rocks and those who bounce laser beams off the corner-cube reflectors left on the moon to (accurately) measure it's distance from Earth, etc.  By now someone would have written a tell-all book on the subject -- the financial incentives are just too great.
 
This really *did* happen in part due to the presidential mandate that started the program, and in greater part due to the exceptionally talented people involved.  Cheers...

 I once was adamant about the fact that NOTHING was faked until I looked closer at the facts surrounding a lot of the images taken. 
 
The truth seems to be somewhere in the middle.
