Taking a selfie while flipping and stacking red cups over your shoulder is amazing!

June Saito is a cup tossing warrior! I can’t imagine how many shots it took to compile this entire video. June has put together many similar videos in his Instagram account. https://www.instagram.com/jsaito93/
Maybe this is the next ice bucket challenge?…

Glorious New NASA Video Imagines a Landing on Pluto

Using 100 images taken by the New Horizons spacecraft over the course of six weeks, NASA has produced a colorized video showing what it would be like to approach and land on Pluto. Prepare yourself for a marvelous trip.

To create the video, NASA scientists had to deduce Pluto’s actual colors from the many black-and-white photos taken by the probe. Following that step, they stacked lo-res color images taken by New Horizon’s Ralph instrument on top of the monochrome photos to glean the best possible interpretation of what an approach to Pluto would actually look like.

The video starts with a distant view of Pluto and its largest moon, Charon, and finishes with a “landing” on the shoreline of Sputnik Planitia, a bright, ice-covered basin. It gives us a chance to see Pluto in all its colorized glory, showcasing the red, brown, and copper hues characteristic of the dwarf planet.

The deep red coloring in Pluto’s southwestern hemisphere is likely caused by hydrocarbons called tholins, which form in Pluto’s atmosphere. After exposure to direct sunlight, its reddish ice turns to vapor and drifts toward the north pole, where it regains its icy form on the surface. This pattern of melting and freezing is probably why we’re seeing distinct latitudinal color bands.

New Horizons took these photos over the course of six weeks leading up to and culminating in its historic flyby of Pluto on July 14, 2015. Its powerful telescopic cameras were able to spot features as small as a football field.

How this young, and not wealthy, guy bought a Lamborghini

He financed it! Like most supercar owners do. With interest rates so low, many feel the small carrying cost is marginal compared to the fun their car brings them. He paid $108,000 and his interest rate was 2.9%. The money he makes from his Youtube videos more than cover the cost of the car. So he is living the life at no real cost to himself.
