How To Find The Summer Constellations (360° Video)

Once, the sky was full of stories. Ancient cultures filled the heavens with heroes and monsters, and spent nights telling epics and memorizing patterns in the stars.

These days, the stars are a little less familiar. Our skies are full of light pollution and, usually, obscured by a sturdy roof. But if you can get away from the city lights, you can still find a handful of the 88 officially recognized constellations with the help of this video guide, which allows you to look around in 360 degrees, mimicking the actual experience of stargazing.

And These Guys Are Still Around Too, Swooshing Through The Yard And Landing Gently As They Do Wherever

And these guys are still around too, swooshing through the yard and landing gently as they do wherever there is a promise of food. I see more couple photos on the booth now, and the males are seemingly starting to squabble. First one shows the beautiful subtle back colours of the female.

Yeah the Rudolph elf meme is funny, but are we really forgetting about all the other great and bizarre Christmas specials moments, like when Rankin/Bass beat DreamWorks to the idea of “Hot Jack Frost” by more than 30 years?

image

How about when they made a Nativity fanfic with a misfit donkey and a baby angel?

image

That Santa Claus started off giving toys exclusively to depressed World War I-era German children? (Did I mention he was a ginger)

image

We also shouldn’t gloss over the time when Rudolph teamed up with a caveman, a knight and goddamn Benjamin Franklin not to walk into a bar but to save the Baby New Year.

image

Really, Rudolph could fill up this entire list all by himself, considering that he also teamed up with Frosty the Snowman one time to fight this wintery motherfucker

image

WHO HAS GIANT ICE DRAGONS TAKE THAT NIGHT KING

image

And is one of the five or six clowns who are supposed to be running winter in this universe (they were not very creative when it came to making up bad guys apparently)

image

And later dies in the most HORRIFYING WAY POSSIBLE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT SHOW THIS MOVIE TO CHILDREN AGE FIVE AND UNDER

image

Oh, and by the way, Rudolph is also Reindeer Jesus. Look it up.

image

Confirmed: God is a woman.

The Japanese Practice Of Shinrin-yoku—literally Translated As “forest Bathing”—is Based On A

The Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku—literally translated as “forest bathing”—is based on a simple premise: immerse yourself in the forest, absorb its sights, sounds, and smells, and you will reap numerous psychological and physiological benefits. “Nature heals me with a mysterious power,” the photographer Yoshinori Mizutani recently said. Born in the countryside, surrounded by mountains, Mizutani told me that shinrin-yoku has always been a part of his daily life. In Tokyo, where he now lives and works, he takes his camera to the city’s parks and engages in a kind of photographic forest-bathing practice. In a new series of kaleidoscopic images created for us, his communion with nature starts at an almost cellular level.
