When Earth Had Rings
Planetary rings may be one of space’s many spectacles, but in our solar system, they’re a dime a dozen. While Saturn’s rings are the brightest and most extensive, Jupiter and Uranus and Neptune have them, too, likely the dwindling remains of shredded asteroids or comets. What’s more, four icy minor planets—Chariklo, Chiron, Quaoar, and Haumea—that orbit among or beyond our gas giants, also host ring systems. Even so, it would be fanciful to imagine that Earth once had a ring system of its own, w
Holborn Viaduct in London, England
The River Fleet, which ran from Hamstead in north central London into the River Thames near where Blackfriars Bridge now stands, was considered for centuries to be a disgusting waterway filled with sewage and garbage, including a substantial amount of waste from the butchers based at Smithfield Market. Consequently, in the mid-19th century, major efforts were made to culvert the river, putting it entirely underground, and closer to the river, the covered area was converted into a street. A bri

The museum, which is located in a building that was once part of a castle complex, explore that history and the cu
Kalkugnarna in Östra Torp, Sweden
The lime kilns were built in the middle of the 19th century when there was a large lime extraction in the area. As early as 1701, it is stated on a map of Östra Torp's parish that Count Beck-Friis was allowed to "take lime on the properties no. 1". This is the oldest known record of lime mining in this area. Today there are about 10 preserved lime kilns northeast of Östra Torps village. The oldest were built in the mid-1800s, the youngest in the 1930s. The ovens are all of the so-called dome t
Tuinplaas - Tiny Town in Albertinia, South Africa
Tuinplaas - Tiny Town in Albertinia, South Africa, is a bizarre conglomerate of children's attractions, a museum, political satire, and a restaurant. Located just off the N2, this roadside attraction is home to a replica of a town made entirely of ceramics and many other oddities. The most bizarre part of the park are their ostrich dolls, which feature human faces. These dolls are part of the "independent ostrich republic," which is a satirical play on the South African government. The people
