I Pointed My Telescope At The Phoenix Nebula For Almost 12 Hours To Capture This. I Really Got Lucky
Highwaytozen 2 years ago
I don't really understand how you can point a telescope at one point in the sky for twelve hours because the earth is spinning? Wouldn't it get out of shot st some point? Sorry if this is really stupid, I'm no scientist 😂 Anyway, seems you can somehow, as this beautiful photo was taken!

My Mother Found My Cat Online After A Whole Year Of Being Lost
LakotaWolf (she/her) 2 years ago
From OP on Reddit: "His name is Basil. He is around 10 years now, we don't know for sure because we found him outside and "adopted" him. He had been gone recently for a whole year, and my mother had found him online, as someone was offering to pass him to a new family. They drove all the way to my work place when I was working and surprised me. We lived together for 8 years and he had finally come back after a year of absence. This photo is my first reaction when I was allowed to see him and pet him. I missed him alot, and he was like a brother to me."

I've Peaked. I Found These Lalique French Crystal Cats
I found these guys at an antique store for $19 each. I know they were high-quality crystals and were heavy (9 lb each), so I bought them on a whim without knowing what they were. I got home and looked up the signature on the bottom, which ended up being “Lalique France." The retail value of them, from what I found, is around $3000 for the pair. Pretty happy for $40.

I Found A Roman Coin While Out Walking
BeesEelsAndPups 2 years ago
I lived in Cairo from 1999 to 2002. I would take trips to more rural areas of Egypt and find old Roman and Greek coins all the time. There was a "gravel" path in one town, where the gravel was made of clay shards. If you looked at the shards, you could sometimes make out ancient Greek lettering. You were literally walking on 2000 year old broken pots.

I once had an open bag of rice sitting on the kitchen counter. Bag tips over and the whole thing empties over the counter edge and onto the floor. I was about to grab the broom when I noticed I had left a small plastic bowl on the floor a few days earlier. Every single grain of rice had fallen straight into the bowl.
