In 1995, a NASA research group conducted a series of experiments on the effects of different drugs on spiders. NASA scientists believe the research demonstrates that web-spinning spiders can be used to test drugs, and the results conclude, the more toxic the chemical, the more deformed the web. The photo series we've edited together shows the outcome of these experiments... Music: A Tribe Called Red - "Electric Pow Wow Drum" Editing: Jennifer Sodini - evolveandascend.com

Moon Jellyfish

These alien-looking creatures are named for their translucent, moonlike circular bells. Instead of long, trailing tentacles, moon jellies have a short, fine fringe that sweeps food toward the mucous layer on the edges of the bells. Prey is stored in pouches until the oral arms pick it up and begin to digest it.

The coloration of a moon jelly often changes depending on its diet. If the jelly feeds extensively on crustaceans, it turns pink or lavender. An orange tint hints that a jelly’s been feeding on brine shrimp.

Scientists have studied the life cycle of this jelly extensively. They know the adult male moon jelly releases strands of sperm, which are ingested by female moon jellies. 

Found worldwide in temperate and tropical waters, moon jellies feed in quiet bays and harbors. Although moon jellies have a sting, they pose little threat to humans. (Source)

“One is filled with admiration, on penetrating into the Sanctuary of the Kabalah, at seeing a doctrine so logical, so simple, and at the same time so absolute. The necessary union of ideas and signs, the consecration of the most fundamental realities by the primitive characters; the Trinity of Words, Letters, and Numbers; a philosophy simple as the alphabet, profound and infinite as the Word; theorems more complete and luminous than those of Pythagoras; a theology summed up by counting on one’s fingers; an Infinite which can be held in the hollow of an infant’s hand; ten ciphers and twenty-two letters, a triangle, a square, and a circle,–these are all the elements of the Kabalah. These are the elementary principles of the written Word, reflection of that spoken Word that created the world!” [Albert Pike] #kabbalah #kabalah #qabalah #mystic #esoteric #gnosis #mysticism @weareevolveandascend

Harvard Scientist Grows Microscopic Flowers

Inside a tiny beaker of water Harvard scientist Wim L. Noorduin has managed to coax chemicals into beautiful and delicate microscopic flowers. 

On a micron scale he and his colleagues have produced arrangements of crystals that resemble natural forms from roses to broad leaves

The most amazing fact is that they self-assembled! That’s right, these aren’t just pretty pictures from an electron microscope, but a new look at how structures form chemically in nature. (Source)
