DJR Posted December 6, 2017 Share Just good sometimes to be reminded of the treasures right under our noses. Kirstenbosch, they rate as the no. 6 botanical garden in the world. Not bad at all, if you think that it is only just over a 100 years old. And you can now ride your bike through the top part of it, as part of the Constantia Neck to Rhodes Memorial route. Part of it is on really nice single track built specially for us by the Botanical Society. https://10mosttoday.com/10-best-botanical-gardens-in-the-world/ Edited December 6, 2017 by DJR Eddy Gordo, mitsu, Bateleur1 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOldGuy Posted December 6, 2017 Share https://twitter.com/WorldAndScience/status/938211666734567424?s=02It may be fake but its still a damn good photograph. Excellent actually. Unless it was done in a controlled environment, placing a toy on a Jelly and getting that kind of focus and clarity in an open ocean condition would have required the patience and nerve of Job!

Stretched@Birth Posted December 6, 2017 Share Honestly, the people at the SPCA have no sense of humour.

Slowbee Posted December 7, 2017 Share Day 6: A Caterpillar in the Carina Nebula. Scattered across the enormous Carina nebula are numerous dense clumps of cosmic gas and dust called Bok globules, including this one, which resembles a huge glowing caterpillar. First described by by astronomer Bart Bok, the globules are relatively small, dark, and cold regions made up of molecular hydrogen, carbon oxides, helium, and dust. The glowing edge of the caterpillar indicates that it is being photoionized by the hottest stars in the surrounding cluster. It has been hypothesized that stars may form inside these dusty cocoons.

Surely the images they get from Hubble , etc are in B & W? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very.. they normally are false colour Photo's made up of various different composites.. See Info Here MTBeer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
