Arp 159 and NGC 4725
Image Credit & Copyright: Stephen Leshin
Explanation: Pointy stars and peculiar galaxies span this cosmic snapshot, a telescopic view toward the well-groomed constellation Coma Berenices. Bright enough to show off diffraction spikes, the stars are in the foreground of the scene, well within our own Milky Way. But the two prominent galaxies lie far beyond our own, some 41 million light-years distant. Also known as NGC 4747, the smaller distorted galaxy at left is the 159th entry in the Arp Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, with extensive tidal tails indicative of strong gravitational interactions in its past. At about a 100,000 light-years across, its likely companion on the right is the much larger NGC 4725. At first glance NGC 4725 appears to be a normal spiral galaxy, its central region dominated by the yellowish light of cool, older stars giving way to younger hot blue star clusters along dusty spiral outskirts. Still, NGC 4725 does look a little odd with only one main spiral arm.

Sea Dog

A four-month-old husky named Michelle swims in the waters off Tulamben, Bali. Your Shot member Novrizal Herdananto captured this “lucky” shot while on a dive vacation with Michelle’s owner. “Every time we went for a dive, we always found her at the beach when we returned to the surface,” Herdananto writes. He adds that once she was introduced to the water, it turned out that she enjoyed riding the waves.Wednesday, September 2, 2015
Levi's Skateboarding Presents: Spot Delivery Tour (Trailer)
The Levi’s® Skateboarding crew took to the road again this summer for a two month Spot Delivery Tour-- a mission to connect with local skate communities, repair existing skate parks and build new DIY spots throughout Europe.
The team traveled over 3.500km over the 47 day tour visiting Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Czech Republic and Germany, building 6 new parks in Zurich, Postoijna, Zagreb, Vienna, Dresden and Copenhagen culminating in a DIY park for the finals of this year's CPH Open.
Custom Land Speed Scout – Indian Motorcycles
The legendary Indian Scout name has been a part of many stories throughout history, powering Burt Munro’s dogged pursuit of a world land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats. As a tribute to our past and the legendary power of this bike, we present this custom land speed Scout, coined the “Black Bullet.”
The all-custom, all-metal, and all hand-made bike was built by Jeb Scolman – who is responsible for the Spirit of Munro that was built to celebrate the launch of the ThunderStroke111 in 2014.

The Flare and the Galaxy
Image Credit & Copyright: Martin Mark
Explanation: Is this person throwing a lightning bolt? No. Despite appearances, this person is actually pointing in the direction of a bright Iridium flare, a momentary reflection of sunlight off of a communications satellite in orbit around the Earth. As the Iridium satellite orbits, reflective antennas became aligned between the observer and the Sun to create a flash brighter than any star in the night sky. Iridium flares typically last several seconds, longer than most meteors. Also unlike meteors, the flares are symmetric and predictable. The featured flare involved Iridium satellite 15 and occurred over southern Estonia last week. In this well-planned image, a spectacular night sky appears in the background, complete with the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy running vertically up the image center.

Curly Queues
Photograph by Graham de Lacy, National Geographic Your Shot
In Paris, the Eiffel Tower attracts nearly seven million visitors a year. Here, lines form and fluctuate beneath La Dame de Fer, or “the iron lady,” an iconic fixture in the city for more than 125 years. Your shot member Graham de Lacy, in Paris for the first time, took a few shots of the city at the top, “as one does.” He saw the lines on the way to the restaurant on the first level. “They reminded me of ants,” he writes. “I found the exact center point, as I wanted the shot perfectly symmetrical. Fortunately, I had a wide-angle lens to capture the moment ... It was very monochromatic, and in my head I always knew it was going to be in black and white.”Tuesday, September 1, 2015
Success Secrets of Albert Einstein Documentary
We all know inventor, scientist and all around genius Albert Einstein was one successful guy, but what most of us don't realize is that it took a lot of hard work for him to get there. Einstein was a classic late bloomer and didn't come into the success that we all know him for until he was near middle age. Einstein's success is a story of perseverance and the belief that you have something to contribute to the world, no matter how many times others tell you that you don't. Let's take a look at some of the lessons today's business community can take from the life of one Albert Einstein.
Thinking outside the box
Einstein is well known for his incredible scientific theories that literally invented whole new fields of science, but what made Einstein such an incredible mind around his peers was the fact that he could look at a problem that had baffled scientists for generations and almost immediately look at the problem from a new perspective. He might not come up with the answer right away, but he could break start the journey down a new path. Today, we call this 'thinking outside the box.' While we may never accomplish something so grand, the ability to look at problems from new and interesting perspectives is incredibly valuable in today's workplace. Every day, businesses both big and small take on problems that they have been wrestling with for years, and if you can inject something new into that conversation, you will prove yourself to be an asset your company can't live without.
Don't ever give up
Just like Thomas Edison, success didn't come right away for Albert Einstein. He tried to forward some rough drafts of his scientific theories earlier on in his career, and they were either summarily ignored or brushed off as incomplete or just plain impossible. The truth is that most professors and "experts" who viewed his early work were likely terrified by it or they simply didn't have the capacity to understand it. Instead of giving up, Einstein went back to the drawing board and refined his theories. When he was done, they were simply irrefutable and are now known verbatim by most of the earth's population. This incredible commitment to his work should serve as inspiration to not only businessmen and women, but to anyone who has ever tried and failed at anything. Although we may never have an idea as grand as the ones he did, that doesn't mean we can't impact society with our work if we just try hard enough.
Sense of humor
Probably the best known picture of Einstein features him with his tongue out. It showed that even someone labeled the smartest person in the world can have a sense of humor and not take themselves so seriously. In the highly competitive world of business, it is extremely important to know when to push yourself away from your desk and have a good time. Besides, what good is the good life if you are constantly at work?

Distant Neutrinos Detected Below Antarctic Ice
Image Credit: IceCube Collaboration, U. Wisconsin, NSF
Explanation: From where do these neutrinos come? The IceCube Neutrino Observatory near the South Pole of the Earth has begun to detect nearly invisible particles of very high energy. Although these rarely-interacting neutrinos pass through much of the Earth just before being detected, where they started remains a mystery. Pictured here is IceCube's Antarctic lab accompanied by a cartoon depicting long strands of detectors frozen into the crystal clear ice below. Candidate origins for these cosmic neutrinos include the violent surroundings of supermassive black holes at the centers of distant galaxies, and tremendous stellar explosions culminating in supernovas and gamma ray bursts far across the universe. As IceCube detects increasingly more high energy neutrinos, correlations with known objects may resolve this cosmic conundrum -- or we may never know.

Game of Towers
Photograph by Geovien So, National Geographic Your Shot
Sometimes called the “Paris of the east,” the city of Hangzhou in eastern China rose to its reputation with an appropriate set piece—a replica of the Eiffel Tower. Your Shot member Geovien So waited for the golden hour to capture a shot of the famous silhouette while, in the foreground, local residents play a postwork game of basketball.
