 | | | | Everything That Happened in 2013 in One Image Already feel like you’re forgetting the major events of 2013? Well, may we present the perfect CliffsNotes: One image packed to the edges with everything that happened in the last 12 months, from the Edward Snowden leaks to the smashing power of Pacific Rim‘s Jaegers and kaiju. Illustrated by Mario Zucca, the image has almost 90 different highlights from the past year. Get a close look and examine Zucca's masterpiece at WIRED.com.
|  | You know those really stupid but also kind of economically brilliant videos that are just hours of footage of a burning log in a fireplace? As of this Christmas, every single one of them has been utterly invalidated, behind-the-scenes parody or no, because Internet Empress Lil Bub just swooped in and metaphorically body-slammed every single one of them: She released one of her own. | | |  | In an era when anyone with a phone can snap a pic and edit it in less time than it takes to say “OMG,” Stephen Wilkes's fanatical approach to photography is his way of cutting through the visual noise.

The result: information-dense, hyper-curated, and highly polished accounts of a single day in some of the world’s most iconic locations.
| | |  | After six months of speculation, we finally know what’s building these bizarre silk structures in the Amazon: a spider! But its precise identity is still a mystery that scientists are scrambling to solve. Last week, we followed these spider-hunting scientists deep into the Amazon rainforest as they attempted to find the tiny silk towers and figure out where they came from. It has not been an easy case to crack.

|  | The former Yugoslavia is dotted with monuments that were built in the spirit of postwar unity but are better known for their futuristic aesthetics. Many have described the spomeniks — a Slavic word for "monument" — as looking like something out of a science fiction movie. So it is perhaps fitting that director Kaleb Wentzel-Fisher decided to feature them in his crowdfunded feature-length science fiction film, Sankofa.
