Volunteer Africa


A good friend of mine actually manages one of the community centers in Ghana that these funds go towards. So, I can assure you that your money will actually be put into action.

There is a chance I might be going to volunteer this winter, although, both he and another friend of mine have been infected with Malaria... So, at the moment, I am not so sure.

Frog Oil
A landslide triggered by flooding ruptured a major oil pipeline in El Reventador, Ecuador, endangering the wildlife of the region.


-Antennae Galaxies
This new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image of the Antennae galaxies is the sharpest yet of this merging pair of galaxies. During the course of the collision, billions of stars will be formed. The brightest and most compact of these star birth regions are called super star clusters. The new image allows astronomers to better distinguish between the stars and super star clusters created in the collision of two spiral galaxies

The shark/helicopter is photoshopped. Pretty well known one.
