What are some examples of science-related photos that are hard to believe but are actually real?

 I can't think of a proper way to start this answer right now, so the job of whoever reads this is to pretend I have the best introduction in history.

Here are some real scientific photos I dug up on the web that I thought were cool but hard to believe:

Japanese flower, Phi. I want this in my garden.

This tree still has leaves because the light shines on it. The tree is me…and the light is you! I can’t live without you. (Okay, that was so cheesy. Moving on.)

frozen pond in Switzerland. the way it freezes is amazing.

when the moon meets the curious cloud, which is shaped like a mustache…

sheets of ice and snow that look like clouds due to the recent flood ☁️

Giant waves in the ocean. Imagine seeing this while sailing on a ship. I'm sure it will give anyone a creepy feeling.

seen from a plane- square clouds (man, I'm really feeling those clouds today)

and other cloud images…lenticular clouds

solar eclipse from the canyon

The lava looks a lot like a skull don't you think?
