We see these objects almost every day, yet do we ever take the time to wonder what they're all about?
Have you ever seen the inside of a firework? Or the underside of a lily pad?
No? Well, you're about to!

Have you ever seen the inside of a firework? Or the underside of a lily pad?
No? Well, you're about to!
I'd let you guess, but I'll just tell you.
This is a microscopic view of a very early human embryo on the tip of a needle.
This one is mesmerizing.
I never expected little balls of black powder. But also, I've never given a second thought about firework cross-sections.
Of course they are piped in underground, we just never really thought about it before.
But for some reason, it's super cool to look at.
This may look like the inside of a clean, beautifully lit attic in someone's house, but no.
This is the inside of a violin!
This is the inside of an aloe vera leaf after the leaves have been peeled off.
Can't tell if this is gross or cool.
This probably gets close to the line for most trypophobes, but the vasculature of a lily pad is quite remarkable.
You can see the curve of the earth from the top of this mountain, and this might be the best selfie ever taken.
We see these towers everywhere, but have you ever wondered how they get there? This is heavy-duty work.
So it's not just random magic taking place inside that can? There's actually a mechanism?
Pretty neat.
So that's how they make those swirly blue and green stripes.
I always assumed the coffee was just inside the plastic! Kinda cool that they have little mini coffee filters.
Those wires sort of seem like outdated technology, but who am I to judge? Perhaps they were implemented to resist against someone attempting to pull the wall out during a robbery.
Nope, just a really close photo of this guy's jeans. It really does look like march of the penguins, though.
I've always been curious to know how the chip technology works. This gives me no clarity, but it does look interesting.
Pretty certain that most people assumed bowling balls were just solid with a few finger holes drilled into them.
Okay, this isn't a photo, but it's just so mesmerizing, we had to include it.
This is what happens when you leave vegetables unattended for too long.
I knew the vegans were plotting something!
You know, 'cause who doesn't love a flat-packed chocolate bunny for easter?
It looks pretty neat, but will probably be hella annoying once this person sharpens to that point.
Initially, I thought the light brown wood was individual stairs, then I saw the people!
This photo might not be music, but it's still a work of art!
A hydro line fell on the sidewalk and this was the result! I guess you learn something new every day.
This is caffeine.
I know! Crazy, right? It makes sense, though, that something that makes you feel like you have super powers would look so alien.
This egg's shell came off in the carton but left the inner membrane intact.
The longer I look at it, the more I just want to poke it for some weird reason.
I'm not going to lie, I had to look up what bocce is and from what I can gather, it's sort of like lawn bowling.
Anyway, when this bocce ball cracked, a bunch of pool balls were discovered inside. Whaaaaaat?
Apparently, the one on the right is a 150-year-old heirloom tomato, and the one on the left is a store-bought tomato.
This is a black car, so clean and polished that it's essentially become a mirror!
This is pretty nuts, but shows the difference a few minutes can make in terms of sunlight.
"The tilt of the cruise ship makes it look like the water isn't obeying the law of gravity."
Some said this looked like a geode, but my first thought was a delicious bite-sized slushie.
A cross-section of this frag grenade reveals a pattern that kinda looks like a disco ball. Two very, very different vibes.
This iceberg, somehow, managed to flip over, revealing an amazing color/pattern combo underneath.
Wow, the care taken to protect it is almost as impressive as the statue itself!
Next time you see one, thank a photographer, not only are they producing amazing art, but look at the complex equipment they work with!
A step up from the camera lens, this is the inside of a CT. No wonder some people are so nervous about getting a scan.
For some reason I never considered that there was another layer in there and it wasn't just rubber keeping the gas off your hands.
Oh I know that's jiggly. I want to see someone run over it so bad, I just know it's jiggly.
Not only is this cool to look at, but the explanation is neat too. The darker wood inside is called heartwood, and it makes the tree more resistant to natural decay!
Yes, behind a fire alarm is just a simple switch. That makes sense, but in my head I always imagined it being more complicated.
This is a cross-section of an elephant's foot! If you look, their bone structure is almost identical to our own feet!
It's actually the inside of a bell pepper! I could so see this being used on some faux medical show to display a blood clot, or something.
This burnt bulb had a smoke pattern left behind on the glass, leaving it looking like a crystal ball for some modern city witch.
That's right, this is the inside of a traffic light, proving again that most technology is way more detailed than we could ever imagine.
Thank goodness they cleaned it out before deciding to use the fireplace one day. It would have turned their home into a smokestack!
