Blin, i always get so excited when i see the "Pillars of creation"... (there is a good amount of their photos in this video as well).
P.S. I wonder, if there are any brief videos (like this one) by Subaru telescope?

Ooo! This is the real stuff!
Thanks!
I was just going to say that i've always liked shots by Subaru more than by Hubble, Spitzer (telescope) or Chandra (observatory), and i accidentally found this! ("Spitzer-Hubble-Chandra composite of M101"):

Look!A video footage made in 1896, restored with neural networks. Looks so realistic! (A russian dude Denis Shiryaev made it).

Yeah, it's Bella Devyatkina, a russian girl who started studying foreign languages at the age of 2. But in this video she's not 4, because she was 4 last year (or even earlier), and she wasn't that fat! Plus it looks like her mother approves her daughter's idiotic behaviour (her mother is also her manager, and they have obtained a lot of money already, making Bella take part in multiple shows). Previously Bella acted smarter, but she has always been swinging from side to side like an autistic person, though she's not. I'm not criticizing them in any case, as everyone earns money the way he can (and as soon as it's legal, i'm ok with it), but i think that they could have worked on Bella's image, because very soon it won't be working. Anyway, speaking 6 foreign languages (not counting russian) since the age of 2 is something fantastic for me (while i can't speak one foreign language properly). In general, i agree, Bella is a wonder, but her image is not.

How did it happen that i didn't know about this one before? It corellates with my own experience a lot and brings me precious memories.

Crimea peninsula, "Sasyk-Sivash" lake (Crimean-tatarian language: "Stinky mud"). It's pink (most of the year) because of micro-algae "Dunaliella salina". In July and August it becomes red&orange.

One of my followers posted it when she went to San Francisco. I think she was very lucky to see it with her own eyes. Very cool!

From VK. "Old Russian vs. modern Russian" (it's about how primitive the language has become). On the left - are old names for these vessels; on the right - is the same name that we would call them nowadays (plus many other items, lol). ...well, people are not getting smarter, apparently:
"Gorshok - Gorshok
Yendova - Gorshok
Kanopka - Gorshok
Kan'djushka - Gorshok
Korchaga - Gorshok
Krynka - Gorshok".
"Gorshok - Gorshok

I found this interesting:

That's pretty awesome, Val!
He also worked on videos from Paris, also by the Lumiere brothers. Quite interesting, seems that crossing a main street was no mean feat then.
