Bonnie and Clyde's Death Car In early 1934,
Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow
stole a V8 Ford and drove it around the
Midwest, robbing and killing
people. That joyride ended when lawmen
punctured the car (and Bonnie and Clyde) with over
100 armor-piercing bullets.
Ghost Army The Ghost Army was
a United States Army tactical deception
unit during World War II officially known as
the 23rd Headquarters Special
Troops. The 1,100-man unit was given a unique mission within
the U.S Army: to impersonate other U.S. Army units to
deceive the enemy.
Artificial Structure Orbiting a Star in Our Vicinity
This time however, Kepler detected the signal of a supposed vast artificial structure orbiting a star only 1,500 light years away from Earth. After finishing all plausible explanations, scientists now believe that this complex structure might be an artificial construction made by an advanced alien civilization way up on the Kardashev scale of comparison.
Scientists have for the first time confirmed liquid water flowing on the surface of present-day Mars, a finding that will add to speculation that life, if it ever arose there, could persist now. That represents a shift in tone for NASA, where officials have repeatedly played down the notion that the dusty and desolate landscape of Mars could be inhabited today.
But now, John M. Grunsfeld, NASA’s associate administrator for science, talked of sending a spacecraft in the 2020s to one of these regions, perhaps with experiments to directly look for life.

In 1942, during the first three months of America's combat flights over Europe the average bomber crew was expected to complete 8-12 missions before being shot down or disabled.

Five Australian former prisoners of war catch up on news from home after their release from Japanese captivity in Singapore, September 1945. The brutal treatment inflicted upon these men by their Japanese captors is clearly illustrated by their poor physical condition.

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to ever walk on the moon, starting a new era on the space exploration. We’re often subjected to the standard shots taken by Buzz Aldrin of the grey, rocky surface with a few faceless spacemen standing still and posing. That’s why this photo, rarely seen, is such an impeccable piece of history.

Pictured here in September 1939, Einstein relaxes on the beach near his Long Island summer home with friend and local department store owner David Rothman. After some initial confusion in the store resulting from Einstein’s thickly accented request for a pair of “sundahls,” which Rothman interpreted as “sundial,” the scientist was able to successfully purchase the white sandals on his feet for $1.35. He laughed off the episode, blaming “mine atrocious accent!” The men remained close friends thereafter, later forming a neighborhood string quartet together.
