So, 69 years ago today, the US dropped the Little Boy atomic bomb over Hiroshima.

So Rosetta is now in "orbit" around comet Churyumov–Gerasimenko having been travelling for ten years.
Since its launch in 2004 it has flown by two main-belt asteroids and Mars, when it took this picture including its own solar panel:

It took this image of the comet three days ago from a distance of 177 miles at a resolution of 5.3 meters per pixel:

It will map the surface and search for a suitable landing site for this little guy, the Philae lander, which will attach itself to the comet and stay there.

Atomic bombs scare me. Especially Fat man and Little Boy. You look at it from a distance and it looks cool and amazing. But then you realize that it nearly instantly killed 70000 people and even more years later.

the weapons scare me - but its not just the bombs themselves, it's what would happen to everyone if there was a war with them. There'd be everything to lose and nothing to gain. I'm thankful I didn't live during the time when it was a serious threat.

That's not going to stop me from thinking their clouds look brilliant, though.

I think they have this on display at the Museum of Military History in Vienna. I know for sure that they have the car in which he was shot.

You can't make it out in the picture, but the car has a bullet hole in the passenger door where Princip shot Ferdinand's wife.

Why does that ninja have a storm trooper helmet on.

[editline]6th August 2014[/editline]
the stormtrooper's eye lenses could look a bit more aggressive though
[QUOTE=1chains1;45611541]Why does that ninja have a storm trooper helmet on.[/QUOTE]

Well that goes to show how my memory is slowly getting worse and worse, my bad.
Not really a picture but I've seen other videos of people kayaking in this drainage ditch but this is by far the most insane
