21 Unbelievable Photos That Are Not Photoshopped. 33 Stunning Photos Of Our Amazing Planet Earth Taken By A Guy In Space. Wind Map. An invisible, ancient source of energy surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future. This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US. The wind map is a personal art project, not associated with any company. We've done our best to make this as accurate as possible, but can't make any guarantees about the correctness of the data or our software.

Please do not use the map or its data to fly a plane, sail a boat, or fight wildfires :-) If the map is missing or seems slow, we recommend the latest Chrome browser. Surface wind data comes from the National Digital Forecast Database. These are near-term forecasts, revised once per hour. If you're looking for a weather map, or just want more detail on the weather today, see these more traditional maps of temperature and wind.

Amazing jellyfish lake. Jellyfish Lake is a marine lake located on Eil Malk island in Palau. Eil Malk is part of the Rock Islands, a group of small, rocky, mostly uninhabited islands in Palau’s Southern Lagoon, between Koror and Peleliu. It is notable for the millions of golden jellyfish which migrate horizontally across the lake daily. photo source Jellyfish Lake is connected to the ocean through fissures and tunnels in the limestone of ancient Miocene reef.

However the lake is sufficiently isolated and the conditions are different enough that the diversity of species in the lake is greatly reduced from the nearby lagoon. Photo source Two species of scyphozoan jellyfish live in Jellyfish Lake, moon jellyfish and the golden jellyfish. photo source The golden jellyfish are most closely related to the spotted jellyfish that inhabit the nearby lagoons. Photo source The moon jellyfish were identified as Aurelia aurita by Hamner. Photo source photo source photo source photo source.
