If I’ve learned anything as a science writer, it’s that scientists produce such a flood of fantastically odd factoids that boredom isn’t much of an occupational hazard.

We are constantly stumbling across all sorts of odd photos, video, and audio clips from our exploration of the Earth (be if from space, the field, or the lab.) Whether it is a satellite image captured from thousands of miles up, the roar of a B-200 research aircraft, or a microscopic view of a cloud droplet, there is always something strange and wonderful passing across our desks.
