Look: I’m as sad as all of you that Halloween is already over. But we need to move forward. Take my hand. We’ll go together, onward, with the Quickies.

Hoo doctor! I love the Solar Dynamics Observatory. It does exactly what you shouldn’t: stare at the sun. The benefit, besides the science and data, are the fantastic images we get. (I have the 1 millionth image taken by the SDO as my desktop picture)

Perhaps the oldest art/carvings made by humans have been found in Jersey. No, not the one with pork roll and the Turnpike, the British one. -Via Donna

These interactive flowers “bloom” to provide shade to passersby. -Via CriticalDragon

This is a thing that I want, really, really badly. This clock uses magnets and ferromagnetic liquid to display the time using fluid and IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL. Video below as well.
