NASA is well-known for the awesome space photos snapped by its spacecraft and astronauts—in fact, the administration has an entire website devoted just to space imagery. But it’s not the only space agency known for spectacular photos of the cosmos.
The European Space Agency (ESA), an organization comprised of 20 member states, has collected more than its share of eye-popping multimedia. From the Cassini-Huygens probe’s austere photos of Saturn and its moons to Envisat’s visions of our own planet, images from ESA spacecraft span the whole wondrous range of space science.

An Indianapolis family says their pet dog fended off would-be kidnappers who tried to steal their baby.
On Tuesday morning, a man and a woman tried to enter Nayeli Garzon-Jimenez’s home while she was talking to her husband on the phone, according to WISH TV.
When she told him what was happening, Adolfo Angeles-Morales told his wife to check the door and identify the intruders.

Watch game developer Kevin Slavin’s TEDTalk above and then explore his thoughts in this companion essay.
Back at TEDGlobal, the most difficult aspect of preparation was the editing process, chipping away at three hours of material to cut it down into 14 live minutes.
Of all the darlings that were killed, the ones I missed most were a few minutes about genetic algorithms. Like everything I presented, it’s a subject for which I have interest and passion, not training or expertise. It’s going to seem very dull. But stay with me for a few of the missing minutes.

SAN FRANCISCO — Howard Kuljian and his family were out for a walk on a damp, overcast morning at Big Lagoon beach, playing fetch with their dog Fran as 10-foot surf churned the water just feet away like a washing machine.
Signs near the beach warned of “sneaker waves,” the kind that suddenly roar ashore.
Kuljian tossed a stick that took the dog down to the water’s edge, and in an instant, authorities said, a wave swallowed it, setting off a nightmarish scramble.

With his truly spectacular optical illusions, Brusspup is more of a magician than an artist — it’s all about the reveal.
In his latest video, the Youtube user with the tagline “Illusions and Science” forgoes his usual animated illusions for 3D drawings of household items.
From a certain angle, the Rubik’s Cube, blue roll of tape and a sneaker appear to be real. But when Brusspup turns the paper, the items that appear to be three-dimensional turn out to be meticulously crafted anamorphic art.

Name: Joseph D. Airdo
Height: 5’8″
Age: 60
Before Weight: 460 pounds
How I Gained It: I started to gain weight in the early 80s by eating anything and everything.
I was a 60 in the waist, a 7-XL in the shirt and very lazy. I was driving a Cadillac DeVille and had to have the driver’s seat moved back at an automotive shop. When I went by other people’s houses, I was always breaking chairs and furniture. It was very embarrassing. I was falling asleep at red lights.

LONDON (Reuters) – Growing into a fully formed human being is a long process, and scientists have found that unborn babies not only hiccup, swallow and stretch in the womb, they yawn too.
Researchers who studied 4D scans of 15 healthy fetuses also said they think yawning is a developmental process which could potentially give doctors a new way to check on a baby’s health.

Much has been made of the so-called 2012 Mayan apocalypse. But for the real Maya people, the end of the world came slowly and timed with historic droughts.
A new, ultra-detailed climate record from a cave in Belize reveals Classic Maya civilization collapsed over centuries as rain dried up, disrupting agriculture and causing instability that led to wars and the crumbling of large cities. A final major drought after the political collapse of the Maya may be what kept the civilization from bouncing back.

SAN FRANCISCO — Ötzi the Iceman, an astonishingly well-preserved Neolithic mummy found in the Italian Alps in 1991, was a native of Italian Alps, not a first-generation émigré from Sardinia, new research shows. And genetically, he looked a lot like other Stone Age farmers throughout Europe.
The new findings, reported Thursday (Nov. 8) here at the American Society of Human Genetics conference, support the theory that farmers, and not just the technology of farming, spread during prehistoric times from the Middle East all the way to Finland.
