Korean Drummer Steals the Show
Sometimes… when you feel it, you just feel it.
The producers of this show definitely missed the star of the show on this one.

The Squirrel Whisperer
Who knew making kissy kiss noises would cause a flock of squirrels to surround you?
Cat’s Eye Nebula
What a beautiful picture!
The Cat’s Eye Nebula (NGC 6543) is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Draco. Structurally, it is one of the most complex nebulae known, with high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope observations revealing remarkable structures such as knots, jets and sinewy arc-like features.
It was discovered by William Herschel on February 15, 1786, and was the first planetary nebula whose spectrum was investigated by the English amateur astronomer William Huggins in 1864.
Modern studies reveal several mysteries. The intricacy of the structure may be caused in part by material ejected from a binary central star, but as yet, there is no direct evidence that the central star has a companion. Also, measurements of chemical abundances reveal a large discrepancy between measurements done by two different methods, the cause of which is uncertain.

How to Turn a Sphere Inside Out
This sphere is made of an abstract elastic material… it can stretch, bend and pass through itself. You cannot rip or punchture this material without destroying it.. AND you cannot crease it or bend it sharply…
So, how do you do it?
Binary Adding Machine
Made with wood and marbles. This is an ingenious way to explain how binary numbers are created.
