Early in the 20th century, GK Persei briefly became one of the brightest stars in planet Earth’s sky, an event known as Nova Persei 1901. Documented in this modern day composite of two images from 2003 and 2011 the ejecta from the explosion, popularly called the Firework Nebula, continues to expand into space.

The needle-like crystals of this mesolite deposit from India give it a dandelion’s form. Its crystalline structure formed inside a bubble of volcanic gas as igneous rock cooled. Mesolite’s many striking crystal formations make it a popular mineral for collectors.

Knee-deep wading is bliss for camels in Chad’s Archeï oasis, a canyon whose trapped waters hold a zoological surprise. Fertilized by beasts’ droppings, algae are eaten by fish that are preyed upon by an isolated group of crocodiles.

Camels are nasty as ****.

Lava-tube caves, like this one in California’s Lava Beds National Monument, are found throughout the world. These unique underground structures form during long-lasting lava flows. As lava moves through a channel, overflows build natural levees along the sides, which can eventually connect and harden, forming a canopy. Just as a winter stream continues to flow beneath its ice cap, lava continues to move under this roof. When flow from the source stops, the remaining lava moves through to the end, leaving a hollow tube, often large enough to walk through.

When confronted with an enemy, the pistol shrimp cocks back its claw like a pistol and shoots a bullet of air that momentarily reaches the temperature of the sun as it collapses.

Badass shrimp, brah.
