Cool Stuff Friday

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired and ready for some things to smile about.

• Amateur Photographer Shoots Largest Ever True Color Photo of the Night Sky. Composed of 37,000 photographs, this is “a 360-panoramic view of the sky taken by trekking 60,000 miles across the western United States and South Africa…”
  • High-resolution, zoomable and navigable version is here.
• Best #BisexualFacts. Apparently Bisexual Facts was a thing on Twitter, and resulted in a number of humorous “facts” … which have now been turned into lovely images, suitable for framing or giggling over. Though it’s sad that none of the tweets were attributed in the images. (Context for these comments: http://www.xojane.com/fun/the-sheer-unadulterated-joy-of-bisexualfacts.)
• Best #BisexualFacts, Part 2.
• Australian pigeons team up to use a public water fountain. Because Australia! (Link from Laura Anne Gilman)
• Also in Australia, scientists basically brought a heart back to life without a body. I don’t know whether Australia is the most awesome place in the world, or the most terrifying. (And yes, I know the correct answer is probably “both.”)
• Image gallery from the Hubble telescope. Wow…
