Hurricane Irene from start to finish August 30th, 2011
admin
NASA just released an amazing video showing Hurricane Irene from August 21th through the 29th — essentially the entire lifespan of the storm:
Unfortunately the resolution isn’t great, but this really gives a sense of the incredible size and momentum of this incredible storm. The animation was created using images from the NASA/NOAA satellite GOES-13, an Earth-observer in geostationary orbit 36,000 km (22,000 miles) above the Atlantic Ocean. It takes images of clouds, which were combined with MODIS images of the land to get this realistic-looking view.

Creepy bubbles and magnets August 30th, 2011

Science videos are pretty cool, so I was excited to see this cool one using soap bubbles to show how a fluid infused with a magnetic material would flow through the bubbles interstices…
… until I watched to the very end and then decided this was actually some weird horror movie trailer. Still, way cool, and the editing was very good.
But man, those last few seconds are creepy. Funny how we anthropomorphize things, or at least mentally give them a vitality they really lack.
Still. Yeesh.
Tip o’ the bubble wand to io9.
