Nong Youhui - Cat Eye Boy from China

Meet Nong Youhui who has cat-like blue eyes and can see clearly in the dark. We first heard about him in 2009 but now a video report by China’s CCTV has emerged online exploring the boy’s phenomenal ability. Youhui lives in Dahua, southern China and according to the story, medical tests conducted in complete darkness show he can read perfectly without any light and sees clearly during the day. Hard to verify – it is China after all – but we are intrigued.

1966 Batman Trading Cards

Norman Saunders is an artist who painted trading cards, comic books and commercial works throughout the '50s and '60s. He created this amazing collection of Batman trading cards back in 1966.

While he might be best known for painting the infamously banned Mars Attacks cards, his work with Batman brings a level of shark-fighting, acid-throwing, sidekick-endangering action and a slightly off-model Joker that's just fantastic.

The Girl with Seven Horses

'The Girl With 7 Horses' is a creative project by photographer Ulrika Kestere based on a fairy tale about seven imaginary horses that come to life within her photographs.

The fairtale story goes: Once upon a time there was a girl who had 7 invisible horses. People thought she was crazy and that she in fact had 7 imaginative horses, but this was not the case. When autumn came the girl spent a whole day washing all her clothes. She hung them on a string in her garden to let the gentle autumn sun dry them. Out of nowhere, a terrible storm came and its fierceful winds grabbed a hold of all her clothes and all seven horses (authors note: since they are invisible they obviously didn't weigh much). The girl was devastated and spent all autumn looking for each horse spread around the country, wrapped in her clothes.

Artificial Sun at Trafalgar Square,London

This ʻbrilliantʼ artwork was commissioned by Tropicana (PepsiCo) to support their current advertising campaign. Art collective Greyworld created the spectacular sun which was raised over Trafalgar Square early this morning as part of Tropicana’s “Brighter Mornings” campaign.

Created by Greyworld and taking over six months to create, the manufactured sun is 30,000 times bigger than a football, has a surface area of 200m2 and weighs over 2,500kgs. Its internal light source produces the equivalent of 60,000 lightbulbs, 4-million lumens of light.

Still it's no match for the actual sun but who doesn't love a little extra light now and then? Especially in Winter when it's so dark all the time. Check out the video of this morning's illumination and a "making of" video.
