11.The very rare Blue Java Banana, which is said to taste like ice-cream.

Image

While facts about this amazing fruit may appear to be a hoax, they are indeed completely true. Blue Java bananas have a taste and creamy texture that is similar to vanilla ice cream. Apart from their unique taste, these bananas stand out because of the bright blue color of their peel. These delicious fruits are widely grown in Southeast Asia and relished as a dessert.

12. This is a leaf, right? Wrong. It is actually a Sea Slug.

Image

This is a solar-powered sea slug, or Elysia chlorotica, and looks like a leaf. It can grow to more than 2 inches long and possess an exceptional ability to steal algal plastids (also known as chloroplast robbery), stop feeding thereafter and survive off the photosynthesis from the algae for the next six to eight months. They are found in shallow waters along the east coast of North America.

13. Here is a look at grains of sand when magnified 100 to 300 times.​

Sand appears the same to all of us. However, Gary Greenberg, a scientist from Hawaii, has shown through these images that when magnified by a hundred-fold or more, each grain of sand exhibits its distinct characteristic. Using high-definition 3D lenses that he invented, Dr. Greenberg took these pictures “to show people how ordinary things are truly extraordinary when you look from a new point of view”. Bear in mind that sand compositions vary depending on where they are from.

14. A "Split Lobster", which is half male and half female.

Image

No, this is not a photoshopped image. This is a split-colored lobster that has a condition known as gynandromorphy. This means it is half male, half female. In this particular specimen’s case, the blue side is the female one and the brown side is the male one. Amazingly, this rare genetic variation happens in only about 1 out of every 50 million lobsters.

15. This is not a painting. But a view of the sun from a UV Lens by NASA.

Image

At first glance, the picture above appears to be a painting. However, this is actually a series of unusual eruptions from the outermost atmosphere of the Sun that was captured by a team of astronomers using NASA’s three Sun-gazing spacecraft in 2013. According to the team, a series of fast puffs, that took place over a period of three days, forced the slow ejection of an enormous burst of plasma from the sun's atmosphere.
