No. It’s an Opal with unique patterns inside. As you know, gems and crystals like this are often revered and collected for their beauty and monetary value. The photo shown above isn’t just your run-off-the-mill stone, but it’s called an Opal crystal.
Opals feature a broad spectrum of colors, but this particular kind has a different and unbelievable visual effect. It seems like you’re seeing an underwater water view with light shining above it, almost calling you to swim up and reach the surface. It looks so surreal that it looks like a pocket-sized aquarium. It almost seems as if it’s a memory suspended in Opal.
Relax, It’s Not a Pokemon
No. It's not a 'butterfly,' but an Atlas moth, and it's the biggest of its kind. This creature's scientific name is Attacus Atlas, and it's categorized as a gigantic saturniid moth that's endemic to Asian forests. It's also one of the largest lepidopterans with a wingspan that measures 25-30 cm and a wing surface area of about 400 cm2.
As you can see, its body is disproportionately small compared to its wings and totally out of proportion. The upper wing parts are colored reddish brown with some patterns of white, black, purple, and pink lines with scale-less, triangular windows bordered in shades of black.
Car Camouflage
Someone needed to show off their painting skills and decided to camouflage a car based on a particular camera angle and its background; It's brilliant and amusing all at the same time. The artist's name is Sara Watson, and she is the woman in this photo. She's an art student at the University of Central Lancashire.
This is what we call being creative and thinking out of the box. There are no limits to what a young and talented mind can come up with. The optical illusion art is part of her image and drawing-making course. It is evident that she has taken inspiration from the famous pavement artist Julian Beever.
A Fire Devil. Don’t Be Afraid, Be Terrified
This is a fire whirl, also known as a fire devil. It's a rare and dangerous phenomenon that forms when strong winds and potent fire combine. People call this, erroneously, a fire tornado, but in fact, it's a whirlwind infused with fire. You wouldn't wish this on your worst enemy.
It starts as a small whirl of wind that is usually made visible by the smoke of its friction, and when the right amount of heat and turbulent conditions, it forms a tornado-like vortex that sucks varying debris along with combustible gasses. It's a storm on fire, a tornado flame.
This Photo Is Not a Funny Meme
The dog in this photo might look like it came from a weird meme from Facebook, but it's not. It has a condition called the "Baboon Dog Syndrome" or "Short-spine syndrome," a drastic shortening of the spinal/vertebral column. The remaining spine becomes compressed, giving the dog a sort of hunched-back look.
Dogs with this condition seem to retain their spine in its cartilage form. In some cases, some vertebrae become stuck together, making their bodies less flexible compared to their normal counterparts. They cannot turn their heads because their necks appear to be missing, so they have to turn their whole body around to see what piques their interest.
