APOD: In Green Company: Aurora over Norway (2014 Nov 03) Image Credit & Copyright: Max Rive http://1.usa.gov/1yU6Abz Explanation: Raise your arms if you see an aurora. With those instructions, two nights went by with, well, clouds — mostly. On the third night of returning to same peaks, though, the sky not only cleared up but lit up with a spectacular auroral display. Arms went high in the air, patience and experience paid off, and the amazing featured image… was captured. The setting is a summit of the Austnesfjorden fjord close to the town of Svolvear on the Lofoten islands in northern Norway. The time was early March. Our Sun has been producing an abundance of picturesque aurora of late as it is near the time of its maximum surface activity in its 11-year magnetic cycle. http://bit.ly/1yU6y3l http://on.fb.me/1yU6AbA Starship Asterisk* • APOD Discussion Page http://bit.ly/1yU6AbB #APOD See More

The Blanket Octopus

Google+ reshared post

The Blanket Octopus:

This species of octopus is able to open its tentacles to reveal a thin and very colorful membrane which spreads out like a "blanket," hence its name. The Blanket Octopus does this to make itself look bigger and to ward off predators.

If that wasn’t strange enough, the blanket octopus has evolved an immunity to the poison of the man-of-war. Not because it was its prey, but so that it could rip off its venomous tentacles and use it against anything that comes to attack it.
