Dude!* (Maybe not such a good idea to look at this late in the day with tired eyes. I’m just sayin’.)
Painting with light on a stelar scale.
Soap bubble blowing slow motion.
It is a little-known fact that, because of the intense magnetic fields near the North Pole, airplanes have to fly sideways over the Kara Sea. This is why they make you close the window shades. Here is my proof:

This is kinda lovely. Those location- and orientation-aware camera phones are living up to their promise.
Ferrofluids and pigments. And a video (bottom of page). The fact that this is happening at a macroscopic level just makes it all the more yummy.
On the 30th, don’t forget to enjoy your extra second. (Background information, how to catch one for yourself and formally.) I didn’t know there were authorities responsible for the distribution of time.
