34 Fascinating Photos and Cool Things You Rarely See

Nathan Johnson Published 05/01/2024 in wow

As our Earth rotates more and more each day, the stuff sitting on top of it gets a little more interesting. Or at least it gets a little more older and we forget more of it, so when we see it again we're like, "Hey! That's new."

These photos showcase some of the truly cool stuff people have dug up and discovered. Some of them are also just cool shots so they deserve to be in here too.

What makes these pics worth staring at is their inherent "wow" factor. That special spice that makes you say, "wow, here is a photo and I am looking at it. What a fantastic moment." It's really a special experience.

So kick your feet back and scroll down through some of the best stuff you'll see online today. It's always better than the news and there's a 90% chance it's better than that meme your buddy Greg texted you this morning.
