Mijn grootvader werkte in zo'n keet waar je nog draden (help me even met de juiste terminologie) moesten versteken om mensen telefonisch met elkaar te verbinden. Hij kon er wel zijn vrouw en zes kinderen mee onderhouden. 's Zondags waste hij z'n wagen aldaar. :roflol:

Jack-o'-lantern sun
It looks like a prankster got loose over at NASA, but this image of a freaky smiling face on the sun is really just a fortunate coincidence. It comes from the Solar Dynamics Observatory, which imaged the sun in early October 2014 and caught it looking like a carved Halloween pumpkin.

The SDO sees things a bit differently than the human eye. The image blends two sets of wavelengths to create the orange glow. The facial features are active regions of greater light and energy.

Death Star near Saturn
No, George Lucas isn't having a laugh. That's not the Death Star hanging around with Saturn's rings in the background. It's actually Saturn's moon Mimas, which just so happens to have an 80-mile-wide (130 kilometers) crater called Herschel that looks an awful lot like the Death Star's superlaser focus lens. NASA's Cassini spacecraft took this scenic shot of Mimas in 2005 as the sun lit up the crater.

Alone in space​

This isn't a scene from the 2013 Sandra Bullock and George Clooney space thriller "Gravity." This is a photo of NASA astronaut Bruce McCandless roaming free in space after leaving the Space Shuttle Challenger. McCandless' adventure in 1984 was made possible by a nitrogen jetpack called the Manned Maneuvering Unit. He maxed out at 320 feet away from the Challenger and made it back safely.
 
In 1974, Dale Irby, a gym teacher in Dallas, realized he had worn the same outfit as the previous year on Picture Day, and decided to simply go with it, after Cathy – his wife – dared him to.

n 1996, an unidentified 8-year-old boy slipped away from his mother, climbed over a barrier, and fell into the Gorilla Enclosure. Due to the 20 ft fall, the boy broke his hand and suffered a deep laceration to his face. Seven gorillas inhabited the enclosure. Gorillas are known to be fiercely territorial animals. They will fight to the death to defend their families. However, one of the gorillas, called Binti Jua, meaning “daughter of sunshine” went over to the boy and cradled him in her arms, all while her own young child was on her back. She then went over to the edge of the enclosure and waited for the zookeepers to come and collect the child. Binti handed the child over peacefully before returning to the rest of the gorillas. Binti received worldwide praise and received regular treats for the next few weeks. The boy and the mother have never been identified, but the boy did stay in a hospital for 4 days. Animal behavioral experts claim Binti used her maternal instincts to look after the child. This may have been influenced by the fact that she had her own baby Gorilla with her at the time.

After she missed a rendezvous with her husband, he reported her missing on July 24, 2013. A large search effort was launched but Geraldine wasn’t found. Her body was found over two years later on October 14th, 2015, less than 3,000 feet from the Appalachian Trail. Her journal revealed she had survived for 26 days. One of her final entries, dated 6 August 2013 read: “When you find my body, please call my husband George and daughter Kerry.”
