Paracas is a desert peninsula located in the province of Pisco, on the southern coast of Peru

Here's where Peruvian archaeologist Julio Tello made an astonishing discovery in 1928: a huge and elaborate cemetery with graves full of the largest elongated skulls in the world. They were known as "Paracas skulls".
In total, Tello has found more than 300 of these elongated skulls, some dating back nearly 3,000 years.

In the remote desert of Libya’s Tadrart Acacus lies a geological enigma known as the "Valley of the Planets."

Among its most striking features are the peculiar disc-like boulders scattered across the landscape, resembling ancient relics from another world. These smooth, flat rock formations stand out against the more irregular shapes typically seen in desert environments, sparking intrigue among geologists and explorers alike.
While it’s generally believed that these boulders were shaped by wind and sand erosion over millions of years, their uniformity and disc-like appearance remain a mystery. How did natural forces create such perfectly rounded shapes? Some suggest the boulders are remnants of a much older geological structure, slowly worn down by time. Others theorize that unique wind patterns or underground forces may have played a role.
Yet, much remains unknown. The valley's remote location and Libya's political challenges have limited scientific exploration, leaving many questions unanswered. How old are these formations? What specific conditions led to their unusual shapes? Until more research is conducted, the Valley of the Planets will continue to perplex and captivate.

INSIDE THE ORION NEBULA

This is a wonderful shot showing us one of the most beautiful regions of the sky.
IC 434 is an emission nebula visible in the constellation Orion. In the center of the photo we can see the famous Horsehead Nebula, a dark cloud overlapping it in our line of sight.
