A Russian scientist believes a remote Siberian rock formation may be the first place that humanity began to follow the movements of the heavens.
Sunduki, known as the Siberian Stonehenge, is a series of eight sandstone outcrops on a remote flood plain on the bank of the Bely Iyus river in the republic of Khakassia
Professor Vitaly Larichev, of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography at the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, claims that the 16,000-year-old site was not only a place of huge religious significance in the ancient world, but also its stargazing capital.
一个俄罗斯科学家认为，偏僻而遥远的西伯利亚大岩石也许与人类最早的天文观测有关。西伯利亚巨石阵的名字叫做“Sunduki”。这个巨石阵位于俄罗斯西伯利亚的卡卡西亚山脉白尤斯(Bely Iyus)河畔的冲积平原上，由八块巨大砂岩石构成，昂然凸起于荒原上。
俄罗斯考古学和人种学教授Vitaly Larichev声称，这个1.6万年历史的巨石阵不仅是巨大的宗教场所，而且是观星圣地。
Each of the eight peaks are have stones like giant boxes or s perched on top. The word 'Sunduk' in Russian means 'chest' or 'trunk' which explains how the place got its modern name.
'For many years I tried to unravel these mystery 'chests', said Professor Larichev, who became an 'astro-archeologist' in his bid to unravel the site's mysteries.
'We don't dig in the ground - we study what ancient people knew about astronomy', he said.
'What I discovered was a surprise even to myself. Comparing maps accumulated over many years of astronomical observations, I came to understand that here in Sunduki, we can see the oldest astronomical observatory, certainly in Asia.

They may look like a scene from the sci-fi movie Contact but in fact these incredible photos which could have been taken on a different planet are of a Californian beach.
The eerie out-of-this world glow hovering above the ocean is caused by a bioluminescent algae bloom commonly known as a red tide.
But a chemical reaction caused by the movement of the algae turns it neon blue.
