interestingasfuck @lemmy.world kersploosh @sh.itjust.works Metal melted out of a car
The shiny puddles look like some low-temp metal melted and oozed out of the car as it burned. I wonder what part(s) melted, and what type of metal it is?
The picture is from a NPR piece about the current Los Angeles wildfires: https://www.npr.org/sections/the-picture-show/2025/01/09/g-s1-41784/los-angeles-fire-photos

interestingasfuck @lemmy.world Flying Squid @lemmy.world There is a little-known valley in the Libyan desert known as the Valley of the Planets where rocks take on spherical and disc-shaped forms.
thebrainchamber.com Valley of the Planets in LibyaExplore Valley of the Planets in Libya and find out more about its discovery, history, features, the civilization behind it and more.
Unfortunately, I can't find much more reliable information on the area. It's apparently also known as Wan Tkufi and Karakeb.
I'd love to know the geological reason for this if anyone knows it.
