What Would It Look Like if the Moon was Much Closer?
We've shown some amazing moonrise timelapse images to you before, but nothing quite like this.
The fictional video shows a scenario where the moon was actually
orbiting around the earth at a much closer range than now, similar to
the distance of the International Space Station (ISS). The ISS has a low
orbit nearly 230 miles up, while the moon normally travels about
239,000 miles away from Earth.
The Shark Whisperer
Sharks have a reputation of eating pretty much anything ranging from
fish and crustaceans to sea turtles, dolphins and other sharks. Some
have even devoured old cans, license plates and other inedible objects
in their quest to feed. Nevertheless M.K. from the mb! Magazine went on a scuba diving course with the predators of the seas.
Crates of bait in the water release irresistible odors as the slick
is ever expanding with the current. Soon the first dark shadows appear
under the boat and when the dorsal fins start breaking the surface
behind the boat, the pool is open. There is a moment of unease when
slipping off the stern, my first concern being not to land on a shark.
By now around 30 Lemon and Caribbean Reef sharks circulate below us.
Assuming a position as close to the bait crates as possible, I watch the
sharks following the current to the source. All myths about a drop of
blood creating a feeding frenzy are exposed as products of fantasies
when the sharks calmly and even gently swim circles around me. They
appear as curious as I am and seem not to mind a little rub to their
bodies. Despite lengths up to three meters, these are not at all
mindless killing machines and their peaceful grace is an eye-opening
experience for all expecting to be eaten up.
Their majestic size is matched only by their calm and graceful movements. Inquisitively they move in, their large dark brown and black eyes screening their surroundings, displaying an uncanny awareness and thinking ability. A rub against the dome and gentle exploratory bites to the camera deliver the up-close pictures I came for. Carefully extending my hand, I nearly get to experience the full length on the underbelly of a large Tiger shark with my fingers. At no moment do I feel threatened by this car-sized apex predator but instead the sense of experiencing something truly special overcomes me. The beauty and perfect design of the sharks instill a sense of calm admiration and were it not under water, my jaw certainly would have dropped.

Trip to China Nature
Scenic areas and natural reserves are
built to better protect the nature and original flavor of some sights
from damage of tourists. Mountains and waters often occur in literary
works to express great breadth of mind or yearning for nature. They
usually hold more than what their facial beauty can convey. A mountains
has its unique character – magnificent, imposing or elegant. The Five
Most Famous Mountains can be the representative of all Chinese
mountains. Rivers if are joined together, the Chinese natural rivers
reach a total length 10.5 times greater than the length of the Earth’s
equator. Among all the rivers, the Yellow River is affectionately known
as the mother river of Chinese nation.
