Pictures That Show The Unseen Side Of Things

As humans, we haven’t seen close to half of what the entire world has to offer. There are so many things that go unnoticed or need a different perspective that we usually can’t see.

Thankfully, there are images like these that we can all enjoy. Have you ever seen a square starfish before? You will.

Behind The Scenes Of Baby Driver

Have you ever wondered if the actors in a car movie know how to drive that well? This is how they did it in Baby Driver.

The real driver was on top of the car!

Artichokes If Not Harvested For Food

I had no clue the tasty treat that is an artichoke is actually a flower. This is what they look like if you don’t harvest them to eat.

These things are extraordinary.

A Blue Whale’s Blowhole

What does a blue whale’s blowhole look like? Well, it looks like a giant nose for an animal.

You might’ve thought it was only one hole on the back, but that isn’t the case.

Under A Battleship With No Water

You’ve probably seen plenty of battleships in movies, TV shows, and up close in person, but never outside of water, have you?

Did you know it looked like this underneath?

From this perspective, you can see how large the Earth is and how far a spaceship has to go to leave the planet.

Inside Of An Empty Boeing

If you entered a plane and there were no seats, this is what it would look like.

We’re used to seeing all the passengers inside, but nobody’s used to seeing it like this.

You Don’t Learn This From SpongeBob

Thanks to birth defects, some five-pointed starfish can come out as a square. It’s like if SpongeBob and Patrick fused together.

This is the content I needed to see today.

Inside Of Pearls

Pearls are excellent accessory pieces. Who knew the insides looked like the stumps of trees when you cut them down?

I would’ve never thought of chopping a pearl in half in my life.

Your Eyeball After A Cornea Transplant

Your eyes are probably your most sensitive body parts. I can’t imagine having surgery done on mine, but when you need it, you have to get it.

Here’s what they look like after a cornea transplant.

Inside The Leaning Tower Of Pisa

The Leaning Tower Of Pisa is a global landmark. You would think it wouldn’t be hollow, but that isn’t the case.

This thing is emptier than the stadiums during a pandemic.

Firework Shell

Think about all the different combinations used to figure out the various effects fireworks do.

This is how the shell looks for one, and it seems complicated, to be honest.

How They Unload Potato Trucks

It’s not really something you spend your days contemplating, but it makes sense that when a transport truck full of potatoes arrives at the Frito Lay factory, they don’t remove the potatoes one by one.

Sometimes the simplest innovation makes our lives so much easier.

Tumbleweed Before It Rolls Across The Street

Ask yourself if you ever saw tumbleweed in its normal state. You probably have, but didn’t know that was it.

Now, you know what it looks like and where it comes from if you see it.

The Back Of A Reporter

You may see the earpiece a reporter uses, but that’s in the front. When you go behind them, you see all the messy wiring required for some tasks.

It doesn’t look too safe.

Batteries Inside Of A Battery

Wait, is this what it looks like? Are there AAA batteries inside of this larger battery? The battery company gets high off its own supply now?

If you know what you’re doing, you could probably make these yourself.

Something Isn’t Adding Up…

The power of tanning is that it cooks your skin and gives you that glow, but you can’t forget to leave some body parts uncovered. Her face is about eight shades darker than her arm.

You don’t usually see that.

Molding Cast Of Ronald McDonald

The molding cast for Ronald McDonald statues looks like something out of a horror flick.

This thing looks wild and like it needs to be replaced with something less scary.

Inside Of A…Bowling Ball?

If this isn’t weird to you, I don’t know what is. These heavy and deadly things have this chunky object in the middle, and I didn’t know until now?

The company that sells these wholesale must make a fortune.

Freshly Cut Cinnamon

Freshly cut cinnamon looks like regular bark from a tree. Who knew this thing would turn into such a sweet and tasty spice?

You also can get the tiny sticks from this.

The Back Of A Bowling Alley!

Who knew the back of a bowling alley looked so much like a laundromat?

A technician took this picture, but he should have explained why the balls get stuck so often.

A Soaked Foot

Ladies and gentlemen, don’t ever let your foot get this wet. You become an old person!

This person must have had their foot in the water for entirely too long.

The Ball Inside Of A Spray Paint

That annoying yet pleasing ball inside of your spray paint bottle looks like a marble.

I’m not sure if it’s as heavy, but it does look kind of cool on the outside.

Inside Of An Air Mattress

Well, this isn’t what I had in mind when imagining the inside of an air mattress.

This thing looks like an alien cave or a strange office space in a building.

After The Tour De France

The Tour de France isn’t an easy athletic event by any stretch of the imagination. You’re riding a bike for an insane number of miles at high speeds.

No wonder his legs look like this.

Inside Of A Pool Table

This article keeps getting better. This is another thing few people get a chance to see: the inside of a pool table.

The tunnels for the ball start high so that it can roll where it needs to go.

Toothpaste Cut In Half Looks Like Candy

If there were ever a way to get kids to brush their teeth, show them this image.

This toothpaste looks like candy and can be very convincing to the right child.

Furby Without The Fur

If this doesn’t give you nightmares, then you must already look at some messed up stuff.

Furby without any fur is nothing more than a creepy childlike robot thing with disturbingly human eyes.

Behind The Scenes At A Movie Theater

Some theaters don’t have the speakers behind the screen like this if it’s a smaller venue, but many do.

Disneyland Lovers: This Is Space Mountain

If you’ve ever been to Disneyland and experienced Space Mountain, you know it’s one of the top rides at the theme park.

It’s all dark the whole ride, but this is what it looks like with the lights on inside.

The Redbox machine is very popular in America, but might not be anywhere else.

This device lets you rent whichever DVD they have in stock for a day before you have to return it.

The Gasoline Container Under The Gas Station

No wonder it takes a while for the pump to run out of gas. The containers underneath the gas stations are huge!

That’s probably one for each pump.

Bricks Being Laid In The Netherlands

If sidewalk bricks are able to be laid like this, why does construction always take so long?

They’ve been keeping this shortcut a secret all along, making us think bricklayers were individually laying it down brick by brick.

The Underside Of A Lilypad

It probably never occurred to you to go around flipping lilypads, or really any plants, to see what they look like on the other side, but someone went ahead and did the research for you.

The View Of A Theater From Backstage

Well, that just ups the anxiety level even more.

Imagine this view, plus all the seats in the theater filled with people who paid money for you to entertain them.

A Baby Flamingo With Its Disproportionate Legs

Think about it, have you ever actually seen a baby flamingo before? We thought they’d be born fully grown with long legs like baby giraffes, but apparently not.

Instead, they’re born as cute little balls of fluff with extra long legs.

The Inner Workings Of A CT Scanner

Unsurprisingly, there’s a lot going on inside a machine that has the ability to take scans of the entire human body in just a few minutes.

That’s no easy task.

An Elephant’s Tail

If you thought that you had thick hair, just wait until you see the hair on an elephant’s tail.

Getting hit with that thing would be like getting whacked with a bundle of wires.

The Blood Vessels In A Human Hand

Now we can understand why a paper cut bleeds so much after seeing just how many blood vessels a human being has in their hand alone, let alone the rest of their body.

It’s creepy but also oddly beautiful.

The Interior Of A Space Suit

It turns out a spacesuit is a lot more than a piece of clothing made out of shiny material.

Considering it keeps people alive while floating in a place with no oxygen, that adds up.

A Still-Sharp Decomposed Cactus

A cactus is clearly the house plant for the person who kills everything.

Even after the actual cactus dies and decomposes, the spikes stay in tact so you still have something to decorate your apartment with.

The Palm Print Of An 8 Year Old

We all know that children are grubby little monsters, but in case you ever doubted it, this is the palm print of the bacteria on an 8 year old’s hand after playing outside for a short period of time.

Scars Don’t Sweat?

Maybe we missed that memo or it was something we just never thought about, but did anyone else not know that scars don’t sweat?

This man discovered it after a particularly gruelling workout that left a fun pattern on his sleeves.

Ice Crystals In Switzerland

There’s no guarantee that every ice crystal you find in Switzerland is going to look like some sort of tiny sculpted fortress.

This one just happened to be found there.

An Albino Raccoon

So not only did someone bring a raccoon into their house, but they brought a raccoon that they already know is abnormal simply from the fact that it’s all white.

Don’t let his cute face fool you — he’s still a trash panda.

How To Pick Up And Move Your House

It’s not going to be cheap and it’s not going to be easy, but it turns out this is how someone can move their entire house back a couple of hundred feet if they wanted to.

The Wool Of A Sheep

If you thought that you were rocking the crimped hair look in the 80s, you should know that Australian merino sheep have been rocking that look for years before you.

It really doesn’t look real.

The Mouth Of A Sperm Whale

Sperm whales are considered to be the largest toothed predators on Earth, but the interesting part is they don’t actually have teeth in their upper jaw.

The upper jaw is used to provide sockets for the lower teeth to fit into.

An Albino Buck At The Daycare

This woman either happened to stumble upon an albino buck outside of her son’s daycare, or her eyes are playing tricks on her and this is actually just some realistic lawn ornament.

You can decide.

A Chameleon Shedding His Skin

I mean, you already knew that lizards shed their skin and chameleons count as a lizard, but this looks more like he’s wearing a onesie to a pajama party.

Couldn’t they blend into something for privacy before they shed?

An Intact Human Nervous System

Dissected by two very dedicated medical students in 1925, this intact human nervous system took over 1500 hours to properly reserve.

It’s one of only 4 fully intact systems in the world (that aren’t inside of someone, obviously.)
