gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-17 06:00:56

Jellyfish enthusiasts rejoice: Depastrum cyathiforme—a wrinkled, barrel-shaped jelly with tiny tentacles for hair—may not actually be extinct, despite being MIA for nearly 50 years. We can thank tourist Neil Roberts, who accidentally came across the jelly while on holiday in South Uist in Scotland. This particular stalked jellyfish was much-beloved during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, appearing in exquisite detail in illustrations by famous naturalists.

The iPhone is capable of capturing plenty of varying scenes, and has been for many years. Ever since iPhone 11 Pro, we’ve had a triple camera array, allowing for ultrawide, wide, and telephoto shots. Despite this, many companies still offer third party lens solutions for your iPhone, allowing you to capture even more with your iPhone. ShiftCam is one of those companies, and today I’ll be reviewing their LensUltra Fisheye lens. It’s like an Ultrawide, but with a bit more perspective. Overview
