Kelston Boys’ High School perform a massive haka in honour of the new Maori carving on campus
I live for this
This is the first recording of a Haka I’ve seen that manages to capture even a fraction of the true energy of it. And it’s because there’s so many of them that those boys would have been shaking the ground.
Seeing these boys in their modern uniforms and jackets and backpacks that say NIKE, participating in this ancient ritual, really just drives home what people mean when they say “I am not a costume.” The clothes here are not important. The energy and participation are important.

Instant reblog every time I see it.

NASA’s Most Shocking Image
This image is a 1.5… *BILLION* pixel photograph of the Andromeda Galaxy.
To view the image in all its glory go here.
NASA is the coolest thing that’s ever happened.
alltogetherterrible oh gosh
I zoomed in and I was like “yeah right” while it loaded and then my jaw actually dropped
holy shit
i mean i knew theoretically what this was supposed to look like, but i didn’t actually expect to see it
but then when i zoomed in, all the noise turned into ACTUAL STARS, that you can see individually
good job, NASA
Good job NASA
NASA, next to the national parks, is America’s best idea, tbh.

Scientists accidentally create mutant enzyme that eats plastic bottles Scientists have created a mutant enzyme that breaks down plastic drinks bottles – by accident. The breakthrough could help solve the global plastic pollution crisis by enabling for the first time the full recycling of bottles.
The new research was spurred by the discovery in 2016 of the first bacterium that had naturally evolved to eat plastic, at a waste dump in Japan. Scientists have now revealed the detailed structure of the crucial enzyme produced by the bug.
The international team then tweaked the enzyme to see how it had evolved, but tests showed they had inadvertently made the molecule even better at breaking down the PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic used for soft drink bottles. “What actually turned out was we improved the enzyme, which was a bit of a shock,” said Prof John McGeehan, at the University of Portsmouth, UK, who led the research. “It’s great and a real finding.”
Okay but, what does it break it down into? Because from what I can tell this just breaks it down into other toxins that are harder to clean up, unless I’m misunderstanding.
