New Horizons Pluto's surface from 48,000 miles

Here is a section of Pluto's southern hemisphere as photographed by New Horizons as is shot towards Pluto.  The detail is stunning.


Interestingly it looks like a close-up of a huge whales head complete with eye and barnacles.

This science is brilliant.  What we also know now is that should humans decide to explore space, there is a massive energy source at Pluto, like a huge filling station.

The question is where is the methane coming from, methane is usually a by product of life.

I wonder if they still teach this Lu...

Amazing Huge Circular Fungus

Image
I was recently came across this at a school which is closed for the summer holidays and COVID-19 in the UK. This huge possibly tree fungus has gone unmolested due to COVID-19 and has grown into a perfect almost circular flower with almost a yard or a metre across with such intricate and amazing patterns. I’ve tried identify the fungus, but all the pictures I have found show smaller plants, if fungus is even a plant, but this for the UK is stunning. I’m so happy to have been able to catch it before it becomes damaged or dies, If anybody knows what it is and whether it normally grows so huge and so perfectly please let me know. Thanks Malcolm @FIXED1T P.S. This unmolested unknown fungus due to COVID-19 almost circular flower 1 yard or a 1 meter wide with intricate amazing patterns I haven’t managed to ident it just happy to catch it before it dies mycologists what is it?
