These animals are probably more intelligent than your neighbor. Looking at them and understanding them may give us clues on how to understand ourselves. Chimpanzees may tell us where our sense of morality came from because contrary to general belief we are not the only ones, chimps have morals and as you will see other animals have great intelligence too. So looking at these intelligent animals I hope that it will remind us how valuable they are and bring us closer to them. I much rather like watching intelligent animals than dumb humans such as in this post: “Psychology Experiments Show How Disturbing Humans Are“.

Now an international team of astronomers, led by researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute, has discovered a dust-filled galaxy from the very early universe. The discovery demonstrates that galaxies were very quickly enriched with dust particles containing elements such as carbon and oxygen, which could form planets. The results are published in the scientific journal, Nature.

Michał Skorupka, a.k.a. Eric Trax, has somehow made us want to tear down the Lamborghini and Ferrari posters on our walls, and replace them with images of a Claas Jaguar forage harvester. Or at least his perfect Lego recreation of one.
