90-Year-Old Grandma in the Czech Republic Passes Time By Artistically
Painting Houses
https://mymodernmet.com/grandma-paints-houses-louka/
"In the small Czech village of Louka, in southern Moravia, one woman has
made it her mission to beautify the homes of her neighbors. Agnes
Kasparkova is a 90-year-old former agricultural worker who picked up a
new hobby in her retirement—painting."
Designers Create Real Observation Beehive You Can Mount on Your Wall at
Home
https://mymodernmet.com/bee-hive-beecosystem/
"The hexagonal honeycomb-inspired structure can be mounted to walls
(indoors or outdoors) and features a see-through front so that users can
watch and learn about their resident honeybees. Unlike existing,
fixed-sized observation hives, the BEEcosystem is modular, allowing the
user to expand their hive by attaching additional magnetic HexHive bodies."
These 400-Year-Old Rings Unfold to Reveal Astronomical Spheres
https://mymodernmet.com/armillary-sphere-finger-ring/
"Since ancient times, astronomers around the world have used models of
the sky to make calculations. With the advent of the armillary sphere,
stargazers were given a physical model to better visualize the lines of
celestial longitude and latitude. Created independently in ancient
Greece and ancient China, these armillary spheres consisted of spherical
rings centered on either the Earth or the Sun. During the 16th and 17th
centuries, these astronomy tools were sized down to become fashionable
finger rings that moved just like regular armillary spheres."
