Among climate scientists, 97 percent agree that human-caused climate change is happening here and now. The sooner we act to slow the rate of climate change, the lower the risk and cost for future generations.
 
If you put Saturn in (an insanely large) bathtub, it would float.

Christiaan Huygens: Discovered Saturn’s Rings
You must log in or register to see images

Dutch astronomer, mathematician and physicist Christiaan Huygens is famous for his invention of the first accurate pendulum clock, as well as his discovery of the rings of Saturn and its largest moon, Titan. He also founded the wave theory of light known as “Huygens Construction,” which he outlined in his Treatise on Light.
Early Life of Christiaan Huygens, the ‘Little Archimedes’
Christiaan Huygens, (1629-1695), was born on April 14 in The Hague. He grew up in a wealthy environment, rich in both culture and intellectual pursuits. His father, Constantin Huygens, was a diplomat of the Dutch Republic, patron of the arts, composer and poet. Christiaan grew up exposed to distinguished visitors at home, such as the painter Rembrandt, English poet John Donne, and significantly for him, the great philosopher and mathematician René Descartes.

It wasn’t long before yet another apparent doppelgänger popped up on the social media platform.
Twitter user Nathan, an IT consultant from Scotland, also tweeted his picture after friends got in touch when they saw the original doppelgängers - although he claimed he couldn’t see the resemblance.

In an age of social media and instant connections, more and more people are coming across their seemingly unrelated identical twin.
Most recently, two university students – one British, one Irish – met while studying at Bremen university in Germany. Cordelia Roberts and Ciara Murphy posted images of them together, and created a YouTube film documenting their meeting. It has now been viewed almost 100,000 times.

They look less alike when you see them standing next to each other... Different sizes.

Their faces are quite different too if you look past the heard and hair. Just same heard and haircut really.

Clouds travelling at 300mph and making perfect 120 degree turns to make a hexagon on two different planets. You'd think it was news
