We found out where unicorns come from! Okay so not really, but at 5,200 light years away the Trifid Nebula has a striking resemblance to these mythical creatures.
It has been the backdrop for Star Wars since 1977.

This planet would be a girls best friend. Made up of a more than 30% diamonds, 55 Cancri e boasts a carbon-oxygen ratio that makes it a hot bed for manufacturing these gems. As a side note, its surface temperature reaches 3,900 degrees Fahrenheit and is 40 light years away, so don't expect mining anytime soon.
For those into all things adventurous, Mars boasts the largest volcano and tallest mountain in the solar system (Olympus Mons), which is three times the size of Mount Everest so it's definitely not for the greenhorn hiker. If you thought Alaska was remote, try having things go south in outer space; the nearest rescue crew is a planet away. To see this play out, The Martian will be in theaters October 2nd.
Hate constantly trying to beat the heat in summer? Although a lot more expensive than AC, a trip to the Boomerang Nebula (where temperatures get below negative 455 degrees) will definitely cool you down.
Daily Sparks...
- I need to get my sleep schedule back on track; I make a terrible night owl.
- I'm itching for a photo adventure...Artist Ridge?
- Speaking of itching, I'm starting to get hives on my left hand now.
- Painted my nails with China Glaze's Flip Flop Fantasy. It has a matte finish so I added a top coat to give it more shine, but let me warn you this stuff doesn't last long and chips off like crazy.
