TODAY IN INTERNET HISTORY: June 16, 1995

The website Astronomy Picture of the Day launches.

The first image was an illustration of how the intense gravity of a neutron star distorts the sky behind it. They got 14 pageviews that first day.

Now they get over a billion. The site is translated into over 20 languages, and is adapted for pretty much every social media platform.

For the anniversary, they asked their volunteer translators to pick some of their favorite images.

may the diminishing light in our daytime skies
be met by an increasing compassion and tolerance
in our hearts.

^That was neat, interesting, and beautiful, in turns.  I'd never even heard of that site before now, rtpoe, but I've got it bookmarked now.   :)

Man!  Back in the day, I used to have a Rubik's Cube, and it took me a LONG time to solve ONCE!
I can't imagine ever solving this thing!   :o :o :o

For years, trivia buffs thought the world's largest island-in-a-lake-on-an-island-in-a-lake-on-an-island was a tiny island in a crater lake on Volcano Island in Lake Taal on the Philippine island of Luzon. However, exhaustive trolling of Google Earth has proven otherwise. The distinction is now known to belong to a narrow, four-acre strip of land in Canada that has probably never been visited by humans.

Located at exactly 69.793° N, 108.241° W, the nameless island lolls across the center of a small lake, which is itself encapsulated by a slightly larger island. That resides inside one of a series of long finger lakes located 75 miles inland from the southern coast of Victoria Island, a land feature in Northern Canada that is the eighth largest island in the world. Watch the video to zoom through these layers.

According to The Daily Traveler, it is likely that no human has ever set foot on Canada's tiny "sub-sub-sub-island," considering the fact that Victoria Island, though bigger than the state of Idaho, is home to less than 2,000 people.

With its mangled roof of spidery islands and lakes, Canada holds several island-related distinctions. It is home to the world's largest island-in-a-lake (Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron), for example, as well as the world's largest lake-on-an-island (Nettilling Lake on Baffin Island). The world's largest island-in-a-lake-on-an-island, however, is the volcanic island of Samosir in the middle of Lake Toba in Sumatra.
