Did you think that Garry King’s 54-pound LEGO Battlestar Galactica spaceship was impressive? Check out his new latest creation, the BSG Valkyrie, made entirely of LEGO bricks, and weighing in at a whopping 111 pounds!
In addition to its weight, Valkyrie is huge. Gary’s new model measures 122 inches in length, 43.3 inches in width and 14.9 inches in height. The landing bays are 51 inches long. It took Gary five months to construct this 42,341-piece model of the Valkyrie. It was made only using images found on the Internet, so it might not be as accurate as some superfans would like. It’s still an amazing build.
It’s cool that this time around Gary actually built one of the ships that we’ve grown familiar with in the most recent series. Gary thinks that there are probably a few turrets missing. To be honest, I don’t really miss them. The build looks pretty darn amazing as it is.
You can find more photos and details about the Valkyrie model over at MOCpages.

Flurry | Email this | Comments NASA always has an eye on the Sun and other parts of the solar system just in case something cool happens. Turns out that NASA caught a very cool phenomenon back in September of 2011. The space agency recorded a video of that appears to be a gigantic solar tornado using the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
The massive solar tornado was big enough to have swallowed 100 Earths. The tornado is actually known as a solar prominence and they have been seen on the sun for decades but this was the largest ever seen. Astronomers have calculated that the storm was an astounding 124,000 miles tall. Watch the spiraling movement of this impressive solar phenomenon in the video clip below:
Rather than being caused by winds like tornadoes on Earth, the solar prominence was caused by a spiral shaped magnetic structure that rises from the sun and is attached at both ends to the surface of the sun. The solar tornado starts with a huge injection of plasma that shoots up one of those structure’s legs. The plasma is guided along the helical shape of the magnetic structure giving it a coherent rotation of material, in turn causing the massive solar tornado. One of the more interesting parts is that this solar tornado didn’t produce any plasma eruptions, which generally happens.

Imagine of a tiny tattoo on your tooth that detects diseases and sends data regularly to your physician. Well, it is a dream turned to reality by a team of Princeton University researchers led by Mike McAlpine. The tattoo made from graphene and one-atom thick layer of carbon can stick up on your tooth and serve to keep your health unspoiled. The tattoo doesn’t only detect your diseases, but also tell you what kind of sickness you are suffering from.
The tattoo sensor features carefully produced peptides, which gather and recognize bacteria separately. This short sequence of amino acids is capable enough to analyze the bacteria both to predict diseases and their type. The technology can evidently put off many fatal diseases as it can predict them earlier. McAlpine and team have been working to make the graphene tattoo a comprehensive solution for many health challenges.
The tooth tattoo is highly recommendable in various settings mainly the war zone to prevent origin and spread of deadly diseases among soldiers. Moreover, it can be a huge help in hospitals and other health care centers to detect bacteria on a variety of surfaces and to thwart infections. The collected data will be transferred to the physician through wireless technologies.
McAlpine and team are working to commercialize the graphene tattoo. However, they admit that they need to do more groundwork to make the sensor perform better. Size of the tattoo has to be made such smaller that it should fit human’s tooth superbly well.
