2014 in large photos
A wearable submarine, 3.2 gigapixel megasels, erasable spacesuits, Philae's "self" against the background of the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko and other images are listed in the Big Picture of the Engadget edition.

Whatever you do in 2014, you have photographed yourself once or twice for this business. Thanks to the increasing resolution of cameras in phones and the popularity of services like Instagram and Pinterest, images have become a very common way to tell about themselves. Still, we remember the proverb - "It is better to see once than hear a hundred times."

On the image you see a collage of 36 thousand 422 photos with the answer to the NASA question “Where are you on Earth now?” As a result, a 3.2 gigapixel “selfie” was obtained, each of which you can see .
This year we saw a lot of wearable devices. For children , for adults , good and bad . But there was also a wearable submarine . Yes, it is a submarine.
This is not a consumer gadget, of course. The device is designed to dive to a depth of 300 meters without concern for decompression. If the device is also compatible with Android, it will definitely be interesting to us.
In this photo, we see the launch of the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle, which, on March 27, delivered a manned spacecraft Soyuz TMA-13M from Baikonur to the International Space Station with participants in the 40th expedition.
On some photos you want to look, from others there is a desire to turn away. Here we see an immigrant in the suburb of Beijing, Dongxiaokou. All the electronics of the city come here to die. And here all the unemployed flock in search of something that can be sold.
Another photo from space. This is the star HR 4796A, surrounded by a ring of dust. Very similar to the Eye of Sauron, right? Image made by the European Southern Observatory , a very large telescope.
This self-made “spacecraft” this year explored an abandoned railway in Mexico. The aim of the project was to show this railway with communities along it, some of which are completely isolated from the outside world.
"What if your spacesuit gets dirty?" Take a meteoric shower! ”(Joke) In the image - an employee of the Russian cosmonaut training center hangs the costumes of Anatoly Ivanishin, Caitlin Rubins and Takuya Onishi. Picture taken after a hard training of astronauts.
Have you ever wondered how the cosmos lacks plants? Japanese artist Makoto Azuma thought, and together with JP Aerospace launched bonsai a few miles from the surface of the Earth with the help of huge balloons filled with helium.
This is what the conflict in Gaza with the International Space Station looks like.
When you looked at a kaleidoscope as a child, did you have a desire to get inside? This installation of Masakazu Sirane and Saya Miyazaki is called “Wink” and represents with you a kaleidoscope in which you can be.
People with a lack of fear may have another desire: to be inside the fireworks. One of these extremes came up with a costume that protects the wearer from damage and allows them to be as close as possible to these amusement devices. True, to run in it will not work . If interested - watch the video from the author of the costume.
Lock from 3D - it was going to happen. Andrei Rudenko created this castle by assembling it from parts printed on a 3D printer.
The heat map of the Internet will help you choose where to rest, to get away from the digital world. Greenland seems like a good place.
The cosmic drama of this year is the events around the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko and the apparatus Philae descending upon it. In the photo we see the place chosen for landing on the comet.
And this image is made by Philae himself. In the distance is the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The presence on the photo of a solar panel of a descent vehicle technically makes this photo "self-sufficient".
The Dutch artist helped celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Central Station, turning one of its facades into a rainbow. For this purpose, technologies developed at Leiden University for observing exoplanets were used.
An electric car armed to the teeth of a Chinese “lefty” has a completely wooden body and drives at a speed of up to 30 miles per hour. The weapon, however, is not real.
