Kung Fury - Crowd Funded Movie

Kung Fury is a Kickstarter campaign - crowd funded project which was launched in December 2013, backed by 17,000 people who together gave more than $630,000 (US Dollars) has finally been released (28th May 2015). Written and Directed by David Sandberg. The description on its youtube page is as follows:
Kung Fury is an over-the-top 80’s action comedy that was crowd funded through Kickstarter. It features Kung Fury, a Kung Fu renegade cop who travels back in time to kill his Nemesis, Hitler. The film features nazis, dinosaurs, vikings and cheesy one-liners. 
 I am really interested in seeing how this crowd funded project proves in the coming days or weeks. Even, David Hasselhoff is part of the project by performing in the lead track 'True Survivor' which was released on 16th April 2015 on his official VEVO account. Below is the official video of the lead track.

Cymatics by Nigel Stanford brings Science and Music together in this video. I have seen individual experiments done and one can find these videos on Youtube. Cymatic frequency that affect matter - be it salt, powdered material, tesla coils, water or even flames of fire. This video brings all of them together and creates its own rhythm. I came across this video on facebook first when a friend shared it.

NASA SDO
In honor of SDO's fifth anniversary, NASA has released a video showcasing highlights from the last five years of sun watching. Watch the movie to see giant clouds of solar material hurled out into space, the dance of giant loops hovering in the corona, and huge sunspots growing and shrinking on the sun's surface. February 11, 2015 marks five years in space for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which provides incredibly detailed images of the whole sun 24 hours a day. Capturing an image more than once per second, SDO has provided an unprecedentedly clear picture of how massive explosions on the sun grow and erupt ever since its launch on Feb. 11, 2010. The imagery is also captivating, allowing one to watch the constant ballet of solar material through the sun's atmosphere, the corona.
