Last year, a giant squid was caught in the Ross Sea off Antarctica’s northern coast. Recently, marine scientists who are studying it found that it has the “largest animal eye on Earth”, “bigger than a dinner plate.” You can see a picture of the squid in the article on Yahoo News, “Giant Squid Has World’s Largest Eyes” by Associated Press writer Ray Lilley.

The Space Telescope Science Institute celebrated Hubble’s 18th anniversary by releasing incredible photos of colliding galaxies. You can see these awesome images when you visit the Wired Science article, “‘When Galaxies Collide’ – 59 New Hubble Images Released” by Loretta Hidalgo Whitesides.

These are two incredible discoveries. There is still so much more for us to find in the Universe. If given the opportunity – and you can only choose one - would you rather explore the vastness of space or the depths of the ocean? Would you rather be an astronaut or deep sea diver?
