Stink Bug Eggs
Who knew stink bug eggs were so beautiful and weird? This shot won sixth place in the Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition. See more winners here.
Olympus BioScapes
This week's roundup of the most amazing images we've seen this week zooms in, to see these stinkbug eggs up close--and then zooms out, to see an exoplanet, 33 light-years away. We go to the present, with the leg that'll help a double-amputee compete in the Olympic Games, and to the future, with a camera controlled by the movements of the human eye. Check 'em out.

The above stink bug eggs, remind me of the new life form we will eventually find on Mars, except they will be found deep in a hidden cave and the eggs will be 20 ft tall each. They eggs too will be in a dorm it state 10 thousand or more of years old! As the land rover discovers them, they will begin to pulse rhythmically with life, once again and the mothers purple many eyes glowing rhythmically in the dark! ;)
@Robot
What are you smoking and where can I find some?
xstaind,
Landing date for the Martians as you might be aware, December 21st 2012, White House lawn at midnight while all are asleep. During they sleep replicas will be made and replacements will begin......bra ha haaaa!

On a more serious note -
Dan! Mr. Nosowitz! Yes - YOU! Could you please try to be a bit more accurate in your image labels and blurbs?
Nukes are not nuclear power plants, they are nuclear weapons. Big difference! I used to run one and sleep next to the other.
Calving is the official name for the creation of icebergs and therefore doesn't need the """". The calving you referred to isn't for an iceberg. It's too big and therefore is referred to as an ice island.
Enterprise was not a space shuttle - it was a platform for space shuttle in-atmosphere testing and landing.
Finally, shuttles make multiple trips back and forth - that's why they are called shuttles. The Soyuz system is a one-time use vehicle set, not a shuttle.
In a world of tweets, misuse of definitions and details is not just amusing or inconsequential. Almost every day I see hate mail about our government based on inaccurate labeling of articles that people did not bother to actually read. The ability of our government to function for anyone is directly hindered by exactly the same type of "minimal" inaccuracy that you exhibit here. Asking as someone who spent 6 years of my life dedicated to this country, be on the side that helps instead of hinders, will you?
