The effect shown in the gif is called gravitational lensing.

What is gravitational lensing?

Gravitational lensing is the effect seen when an object behind a massive object is in the line of sight with the earth. For example:

Earth ————>Massive Object—————->Far away object

When we try looking at the far away object, the massive object bends space-time around it, causing the light rays from the far away object to travel in a curved path around into our line of sight.

As a result of this, we can often see the far away object magnified which helps astronomers understand the early universe. The gif shows a far away galaxy being gravitationally lensed by a closer black hole.

How Humans Are Changing the Planet—in 7 Dramatic GIFs

“Much like the iconic image of Earth from the Apollo 17 mission—which had a profound effect on many of us—this time-lapse map is not only fascinating to explore,” Google Earth’s Rebecca Moore writes, “but we also hope it can inform the global community’s thinking about how we live on our planet and the policies that will guide us in the future.”

The movement of the celestial bodies which make up our solar system. This animation is not 100% accurate but it does a good job of showing that the true movements of the planets are not an ellipse but a helix when extended into space time. A helix. Just like the DNA molecule.

How Much Stuff Do Our Bodies Make In A Year?

via jtotheizzoe:

A pretty eye-opening look at just how much “stuff” your body makes in a year, from BuzzFeedVideo.

Snot a bad video. Urine for a real educational experience. Hair’s a great video to not watch before lunch.

No One Is Talking About The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster. It’s Far Beyond A Worse Case Scenario

While the lying governments of the world continue to insist that is “no big deal”, all the evidence shows otherwise. Here’s a map showing the spread of radiation across the Pacific Ocean. Radioactive material from the Fukushima nuclear disaster has been found in tiny sea creatures and ocean water some well over 186 miles off the coast of Japan, revealing the extent of the release and the direction pollutants might take in a future environmental disaster. In some places, the researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) discovered cesium radiation hundreds to thousands of times higher than would be expected naturally, with ocean eddies and larger currents both guiding the “radioactive debris” and concentrating it.

i been talking about that shit since it happened and nobody listens.
