Furry Friends
While this picture is very sweet, we specifically advise not to approach a mother polar bear with her cubs unless you want to end up in the hospital. This photo was taken during the Soviet era in the easternmost part of Russia, the Chukchi Peninsula. A Soviet soldier can be seen here handing the bear a can of condensed milk.
Pyramids of Giza
The Milky Way serves as a beautiful backdrop to the Giza pyramid complex. Ancient Egyptians buried their pharaohs in the pyramids; they associated our solar system's galaxy with fertility, believing the image above was a pool of cow's milk flowing from their cow goddess, Bat. The pyramids' locations correspond to Orion's Belt, which is part of the Orion constellation associated with the Egyptian god of afterlife and rebirth, Osiris.
