The European Space Agency's Ariane 6 rocket, set to replace the Ariane 5, passed a major milestone with a successful wet dress rehearsal and a 7-minute firing of its main engine. A timelapse video released by ESA showcases the test, condensing the rocket rollout and hot fire. The Ariane 6 is expected to have its first launch in 2024, following a hot-fire test of its second stage in December.
A timelapse video captured the short but impressive life cycle of a phallic mushroom known as the stinkhorn fungus. The mushroom, resembling a penis, emerges from balls that hang around like human genitalia. The mature fungus bursts forth at a rapid rate, covered in a green-brown jelly that smells like rotting corpses. This adaptation helps the fungus disperse its spores through carrion-feeding flies and other invertebrates. The video shows the mushroom attracting flies before collapsing down in a flaccid heap, successfully dispersing its spores for further growth.
