Planet and Star Size Comparison in HD

You may have seen a planet and star size comparison before but this one is beautifully crafted and looks stunning in full-screen HD.

Choir uses hands to create a thunderstorm

I was blown away by how realistic their thunderclaps sound – and the song is good too.

The Cigarette Trick

Short and sweet. A cigarette is tossed and caught in the mouth, then a lit match is tossed and caught in the mouth to light the cigarette.

What IS this creature?!?

So far, no one on VideoSift has come to any verifiable conclusion on what this creature is. The closet guess is a head crab. ;) Calling all cryptozoologists, we need your help.

Tilt-Shift video of trains in Switzerland

Wonderful tilt-shift video of trains in the villages of Sisikon and Göschenen in Switzerland. Created by Andi Leemann and Jeri Peier. They used two EOS 5D Mark II cameras, a Canon 90mm TS-E f/2.8 and a Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 combined with a 1.4x converter. (and polarisation filters)

    It's a caterpillar! You can see the head.

    Love the confused-sounding dog in the background. "What the hell IS that thing? Do I bite it? Will it bite me?"

    That planet and star size is very humbling... And then it didn't even show the size of the galaxies that are yet so much bigger... And then they didn't even show the galaxy-clusters that again are X-fold bigger....

    No indeed we puny humans ain't the center of anything...

    Those giants shouldn't humble you. Your atoms are made up of particles that came from those giants.

    The holes in the back of that creature reminds me very much of photos I've seen of what's left behind when a tarantula molts. Warning, this photo's kinda oogy.

    Maybe it's something that's mid-molt?

    The thunderstorm-sounding choir was nifty until they started singing. There were some serious off-key things going on there.

    And I want to know how cigarette guy figured out he could even do that trick.

    I agree the choir thing was marginally cool. Even the thunderstorm was ruined by applause, and the Toto song was like an upper cut to my sensibilities.

    Looked more like a turtle that grew without a shell on its back to me

    Haha that cigarette trick was awesome, and I liked the punchline.

    It looks like a monkey slug to me, which is the caterpillar to the hag moth.

    Egads. The size comparisons of all those planets and stars blew my mind. I believe that this is the HD version of the famous .gif that is floating about on the Interwebs of a series of planets being compared in size as well.
