Ah it’s so fascinating that I can’t force myself not to share it 🙂 It’s a very short BBC video of how the new x-ray telescope technology was inspired by lobster’s eyes:

> By mimicking the way lobsters’ eyes work, scientists have designed new X-ray space telescopes that can survey much larger areas.

That’s pretty cool indeed. Again goes to show just how much we can learn from nature if we don’t destroy it, and in turn how much we can learn about space and other area via these insights.

@Zhalyd_Lyehin, exactly! We should work with nature, not against it. But “blah blah blah” is the order of things.
