» Astronomy Pic of the Day: Planet of the Tajinastes
What bizarre planet are these alien creatures from?
It's only planet Earth,
of course.
The planet's home galaxy the Milky Way stretches across a dark sky
in the panoramic, fisheye all-sky projection composed with a wide lens.
But the imposing forms gazing skyward probably look strange to many
denizens of Earth.
Found on the Canary Island of Tenerife in the
Teide National Park, they are
red
tajinastes,
flowering plants that grow to a height of up to 3 meters.
Among the rocks of the
volcanic terrain, tajinastes bloom in
spring and early summer and then die after a week or so as their
seeds mature.
A species known as
Echium
wildpretii, the terrestrial life forms were
individually lit by flashlight during the wide-angle
exposures.

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Protolife occupies a rather special place in my repository of tower defence games for two reasons. First, the central concept of controlling a little construction bot that poops out blue blocks in specific patterns to create […]

The straight-faced military simulation of Arma 3 will get a little weirder with its next expansion, named Contact, where serious soldiermen will encounter and investigate aliens. Expect strange lights in the sky, unknown aircraft, strange energy signatures, glowing orbs, the lot. It doesn’t look like some kooky Stalin vs. Martians nonsense, mind, treating first contact […]
