Winter Sky Panorama (with star names)

This is a panorama of the main constellations of the northern winter sky, from Orion in the south (bottom) to Auriga in the north (top), with the Milky Way running down the frame. This area of sky contains loads of bright stars and is prominent all thru the winter months.

Um. Boat + giant nest + abandoned house + giant horned skull + twinkle lights + a bunch of twigs. It’s like, the recipe for a magic ritual to sail away to the moon. (take me with you!)

So, I wouldn’t normally reblog cat pictures, but this kinda made me tear up.

Fennec Fox

Fennec Foxes are the world’s smallest wild canine, weighing in at just under 3.5 pounds in adulthood. In contrast to their small stature, Fennecs have distinctively large ears that can reach a length of up to six inches; about one-third of their body length.  Their ears serve as “radiators” that dissipate heat enabling the foxes to stay cool. They also enhance the fox’s acute sense of hearing, helping them detect prey. 

Fennec Foxes are nocturnal animals native to the deserts of North Africa that hunt small rodents, birds, eggs, lizards and insects. Their cream-colored coats allow them to blend in with their desert surroundings.
