What are some rare images that we have never seen before?

 This is a 393-year-old Greenland shark. The photo was taken in the Arctic Ocean. This creature has been roaming the icy waters of the North Pole since 1627.

It is the oldest vertebrate —that we know of — in the world.

Translator's note , in response to a question in the comments:

It was thought that the Greenland shark lived on average 200 years, but a study published in 2016 determined that a specimen measuring 5.02 meters was 392 years old, with a margin of error of 120 years.

The specimen found could therefore have been between 272 and 512 years old. This spectacular discovery makes this animal the oldest known vertebrate in the world.

A Greenland shark was also "tagged" off the coast of Greenland in 1936 and recaptured in 1952. Measurements taken at the time led to the conclusion that this species of shark grows half a centimeter to one centimeter per year.

The 2016 study, based on 28 specimens measuring between 81 and 502 cm in length, and using carbon-14 dating of crystals in their eyes to estimate their age, clarified their life cycle. The oldest of the animals tested, which was also the largest, was therefore born between 1504 and 1744…

The authors of the study also concluded that this species reaches sexual maturity at the age of 150 years!

What are some rare photos of world history?

 

• The ‘white’ slave children of New Orleans in rare photographs, 1863

On January 30, 1864, Harper’s Weekly started to publish portraits of children captioned “Emancipated Slaves—White and Colored,” as part of a publicity campaign to raise funds for schools for recently emancipated slaves in New Orleans.

The children featured in these photographs drew attention to the fact that slavery was not solely a matter of color. If a child’s mother was a slave, then he or she was a slave as well.

The images included children with predominantly European features photographed alongside dark-skinned adult slaves with typically African features. It was intended to shock the viewing audiences with a reminder that slaves shared their humanity, and evidence that slaves did not belong in the category of the “Other”.

• An unknown and young Madonna in Michael McDonnell’s photoshoots, 1978-1979

• The only known picture of President Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe together, 1962

This black and white image, taken by White House photographer Cecil Stoughton, is the only known photograph of JFK and Monroe together. Monroe is still wearing the infamously tight-fighting, sheer rhinestone-studded dress she wore when singing earlier at Madison Square Garden.

President Kennedy, whose head is tilted slightly is looking down while listening to Marilyn. His brother, Robert Kennedy, is standing next to the pair looking on. Singer Harry Belafonte is in the background and historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., who served as an advisor in the Kennedy White House, is standing off to the side smiling.

• The Black Monday of 1987 in historical photographs, 1987

The Stock Market crash of 1929 wasn’t the only market crash in the 20th century though. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 22.6% on “Black Monday” in the Stock Market Crash of 1987, the greatest single day loss in history.

That said, no single stock market crash has ever had such devastating effects as 1929 as yet.

• The strange world of military research at Natick Soldier Systems Center, 1970-1990

The Natick Soldier Systems Center (NSSC) is responsible for the technology, research, development, engineering, fielding, and sustainment of U.S. military’s food, clothing, shelters, airdrop systems, and Soldier support items.

• The last picture of Adolf Hitler, 1945

This last known picture of Hitler was taken approximately two days prior to his death as he stands outside his Berlin bunker entrance surveying the devastating bomb damage.

• The remains of the astronaut Vladimir Komarov, a man who fell from space, 1967

Mankind’s road to the stars had its unsung heroes. One of them was the Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov. His spaceflight on Soyuz 1 made him the first Soviet cosmonaut to fly into outer space more than once, and he became the first human to die on a space mission—he was killed when the Soyuz 1 space capsule crashed after re-entry on April 24, 1967, due to a parachute failure.

• Niagara Falls without water, 1969

For six months in the summer and fall of 1969, Niagara’s American Falls were “de-watered”, as the Army Corps of Engineers conducted a geological survey of the falls’ rock face, concerned that it was becoming destabilized by erosion. These stark images reveal North America’s iconic – and most powerful – waterfall to be almost as dry as a desert.
