Puzzlements for December 10th, 2021

Hello again! Five more lovely
links to get your students wondering. Reminder that there will be no mailer on
December 24th or 31st.

So amazing and
weird! An octopus that walks right out of the water.

I’ve shared work
from Tatsuya Tanaka before, but now there’s a calendar version of his amazing miniature photos of tiny people
interacting with regular sized objects.

Looking at Jupiter
from unexpected angle!

Check out this incredible cube that contains six
different paintings, each visible only from the perfect angle.

Astronaut Shane
Kimbrough explains how he makes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in space.
I think this one should be prefaced with a “what problems might you run
into when making a sandwich in space?” chat. Thanks to Karin for the link
