I remember posting this one to the forums before, a long time ago. This is a picture I took December of 2017:

This is a horseshoe vortex, otherwise known as a moustache cloud. Updraft of a forming cumulus hit just right by low-level wind shear, enough to cause it to roll and form a bent shaped vortex, which lives until it's stretched apart by the rising thermal beneath it. These rarely occur, and are so short lived that spotting one on a favorable day is a fleeting chance at best.

There is a golf course in Australia that has sharks living in its waters. Bull sharks are capable of swimming in freshwater in addition to salt, allowing them to move up streams from the ocean.

Yes, I have! Popular on the Tik Tok or something. I follow a YouTube channel called Emmymade and she does lots of trendy stuff like this with a "home cook" approach. I've also seen her do clear tomato soup and a clear "raindrop" cake.

In the 1880s, the Harvard Observatory director was frustrated with his staff, and would say "My Scottish maid could do better!" So, he hired his Scottish maid. Williamina Fleming ran a team for decades, discovering many stars, white dwarfs, and the Horsehead Nebula.

2000-year-old tree in South Africa called the Tree of Life. The Boabab tree. Some hollowed out trunks have been used to shelter up to 40 people. It can hold over 4,000 liters of water, and the fibers from the bark can be used to make rope and cloth. The leaves are also eaten as they help boost the immune system.

I feel like whoever took that picture took all the “cool” bits from the sand and grouped them together, possibly from different sources. Sand is of course mostly rocks.

I agree. The picture had selected examples. Perhaps to show the variety of components in sand.

In 1663, the partial fossilised skeleton of a woolly rhinoceros was discovered. This is the “Magdeburg Unicorn”, one of the oddest fossil reconstructions in history.
