We really have an obsession with rare things, they even make us think a bit irrational, studies show. And it’s not hard to understand this, because capturing a dead star, meeting the smallest frog ever, finding a super old coin, or seeing a unique sun reflection seems to be pretty exciting.
We at Bright Side scoured the web in search of pictures of some extraordinary things, just to share them with you.
1. “A cherry just grew alone in the middle of my tree.”
2. “I found a leopard dog in Thailand.”
3. This rainbow is a real reflection of the sun on this freshly-paved tarmac.
4. “The wick of my candle looks like a mushroom.”
5. “I photographed a dead star that ejected most of its mass as a colorful cloud of gas.”
6. This is not a flower, it’s a willow tree that’s been tricked into building a house for a small fly.
7. “So I was pulling up my carpet and found this old penny from 1917.”
8. “The sun’s reflection on my drinking glass creates Bart Simpson’s skull.”
9. This tree looks like copper.

11. “I opened a decade-old Play-Doh container to find that it had grown crystals.”
