Watching Endeavour’s Junk Parts Fall Back To Earth Is Worth 37 Minutes Of Your Life

If I didn’t know any better, I’d think I was watching an experimental film and not footage of Space Shuttle Endeavour’s last launch. At times, the visuals contained within the 37-plus minutes can only be described as accidentally beautiful. In fact, CNET pretty much nails that sentiment with their description of the segment which transpires between the 16 and 20 minute marks.

A Visual Guide to How Many Fruits and Veggies You Should Eat for a Serving

We all grew up knowing the "food pyramid" by heart, but it wasn't easy to apply to the real world because it was all based on servings.
