A high-definition camera outside the International Space Station captured this view of the eye of Hurricane Florence moving across the Atlantic Ocean in a west-north-westerly direction with winds of 130 miles an hour. Tweeting from aboard the International Space Station, ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst shared: ‘Ever stared down the gaping eye of a category 4 hurricane? It’s chilling, even from space’.
Probably even more chilling being up there and actually seeing it in motion rather than just looking at a still (which is chilling enough).
Luxor, Egypt
Egypt’s antiquities minister Khaled el-Enany and Mostafa Waziri, the secretary general of the supreme council of antiquities, inspect an intact sarcophagus during its opening. The sarcophagus was one of two found recently by a French-led mission in the Al-Assasif necropolis on the west bank of the Nile River. Located between the royal tombs at the Valley of the Queens and the Valley of the Kings, the Al-Assasif necropolis is the burial site of nobles and senior officials who were close to the pharaohs.

A Spectacular On the Water Stage Built for the 2002 Bregenz Performing Arts Festival in Austria
The Bregenz Festival “Opera on the Lake”, which began in Austria in 1946, has earned a reputation for building some of the most spectacular and elaborate stages ever constructed…and they float on Lake Constance. This photograph shows the set for Guiseppe Verdi’s “A Masked Ball” which was performed for crowds of 6,800 people a night during the 2002 theatrical season. The Bregenz Festival has performed many of the world’s best loved operas, all on huge, over-the-top stage sets. As you can imagine, there are challenges to constructing stage sets of this size and complexity…and outdoors ON WATER…yet the festival continues to outdo itself year after year.
