| The Actress Who Changed TV (and NASA) Forever | | Live long and prosper? Nichelle Nichols sure has. At the height of the American civil rights movement, she played "Star Trek's" Lieutenant Uhura—then one of television's few confident, strong Black female characters. It was a trailblazing role she nearly walked away from—until a certain legendary activist and super fan intervened. Who knew Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Trekkie? | | | This Tiny Island Was a Hub for Lumberjacks | | Located just outside of Rovaniemi City is Kotisaari, one of Finland's tiniest islands. Measuring only 820 feet long and 200 feet wide, this sleepy locale used to be a center point for loggers in the area. The picturesque island is surrounded by a river that was once used as a floating channel to transport logs. | | | | | This Punk Rock Collective Is Straight Metal | | The One Love Machine band are a scrappy crew. They have an affinity for punk rock, and members of the band play the bass, drums and flute. Oh, and they're all robots. | | | | This Adorable Bunny Needs Our Help | | Despite their strong legs that allow them to run from predators, the New England cottontail rabbit is being pushed out of their native habitats by invasive species and expanding metropolises. | | | | | |
