A reservoir of water three times the volume of all the oceans has been discovered deep beneath the Earth's surface. The finding could help explain where Earth's seas came from.
The water is hidden inside a blue rock called ringwoodite that lies 700 kilometres underground in the mantle, the layer of hot rock between Earth's surface and its core.

I never imagined I was going to see something like this: A video of a star bursting in space, illuminating the interstellar dust around it at the speed of light. This is not a computer simulation. It's an actual time-lapse video taken over four years by the Hubble—and scientists don't know its origin yet.
Estoy completamente seguro de que una planta crece mejor y más sana si tiene una historia que contar. Normalmente se espera que sea la propia planta la que aporte la historia para que esté más personalizada, pero en este caso sacrificamos esa personalización en pos de contar historias que seguramente sean mejores (seamos realistas: una planta es bastante predecible. Excepto si es un opiáceo, claro).
Jin Kai es el creador de estos maceteros Lego que representan escenas míticas de El Señor de Los Anillos y Star Wars. También hay uno de Los Simpsons y, en cualquier caso, podéis ver más fotografías en su perfil de Flickr.

Witching & Bitching opens with a heist sequence that could only come from the imagination of Álex De La Iglesia: a pawn shop stick-up on Madrid’s tourist-packed Puerta De Sol, carried out by a gang of costumed impersonators and masterminded by a silver-painted Jesus—who has brought along his 8-year-old son in order to get some bonding time. The robbery goes south; Minnie Mouse gets cornered by police, SpongeBob SquarePants is gunned down on the sidewalk, and the argentine savior is forced to hightail it out of Madrid in a taxi, bringing along his son, a green army man, and two hostages. Pursued by two clueless cops and the Jesus’ ex-wife, the unlikely fivesome—four in the cab, one in the trunk—end up in the sticks, where they stumble upon a coven of man-eating Basque witches.
De La Iglesia specializes in the kind of nutty narrative zigzags typified by ...
Either this dude has no idea how group messages on iPhones work or he genuinely didn’t care that 32 of his Tinder girls were going to see that he sent the same message to each of them. For his sake, I hope it’s the first one.
The Badlands are a type of parched, sunbaked terrain characterized by jagged rock, cracked earth and, of course, minimal vegetation. It’s a harsh environment of lifeless wasteland but there is also good news to be found in the badlands. For the patient observer, like photographer Guy Tal, there is a delicate beauty that reveals itself only so often. “On rare years,” says Tal, describing his series of photos taken in the American West, “wildflowers burst into stunning display of color, transforming the desert into a veritable garden for just few precious days.” The reason, apparently, is that vegetation in the region has adapted to the climate. With just a tiny bit of moisture the desert can transform into a colorful garden of bright purple and yellow. You can see more photos on Tal’s website, or purchase his book More Than a Rock.
