Freediver creates underwater wingsuit

Monaco-born freediver Pierre Frolla creates an underwater wingsuit that allows users to glide through the water with minimal movement of the arms and legs. He hopes the discretion provided by his new technology will allow divers to get closer to marine life and increase awareness of the fragility of the world's oceans.

The Birth of a New Island

The Birth of a New Island

In late December 2014 into early 2015, a submarine volcano in the South Pacific Kingdom of Tonga erupted, sending a violent stream of steam, ash and rock into the air. When the ash finally settled in January 2015, a newborn island with a 400-foot summit nestled between two older islands – visible to satellites in space. The newly formed Tongan island, unofficially known as Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai after its neighbors, was initially projected to last a few months. Now it has a 6- to 30-year lease on life, according to a new NASA study. Published on Dic.11, 2017. This video is public domain. Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/LK Ward

Houston # 1 and the Coldplay

Houston # 1 and the Coldplay

A song for one night, for all those who had to give up their concert in Houston on Friday night, but especially for the hundreds of thousands of people who these days and times are suffering from the devastation of Harvey, the storm that has downloaded Its power of rain on South East Texas. During the live on Monday night at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Coldplay leader Chris Martin interrupted the ladder and turned to the public: "We all grew up in love with country music and of course country music is more or less what It comes to mind when we go to Texas. So this is a new song and we will never play it again. It's called Houston # 1” ….. And there, among the applause and the audience cries of approval, a country melody started accompanied by these words:" Dream when I return to Houston, that very special place, a dream when Houston does not have any problems, in that city where you are thrown into space, dream of when I will return to Texas, Corpus Christi, Harris County, Galveston" And then again "From Miami we send our affection to Houston, we pray for it to face the rain ..." Of course, the fan of Texas fans is that Coldplay is playing Houston # 1 at least once in Texas, although it's hard to imagine now when the band is on tour in the US until October and then moves to South America. Return to performing in the fourth largest city in the country, which will take months to get up.
