2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Scientistshave for the first time confirmedliquid
water flowing on the surface of present-dayMars, a
findingthat will add to speculationthat life, if it ever
arose there, could persist now. That representsa shift
in tone for NASA, where officialshave repeatedly
played down the notion that the dusty and desolate
landscapeof Mars could be inhabitedtoday.
But now, John M. Grunsfeld, NASA’s
associateadministrator forscience,talked
of sending a spacecraft in the 2020s to
one of these regions, perhaps with
experimentsto directlylook for life.

6. 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.

it took to survive at 25,000ft altitude, 1944
7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.
