"The Calhoun Shot" or "the Immaculate Connection" - were nicknames for a shot made by spectator Don Calhoun during a timeout in the third quarter of a Chicago Bulls - Miami Heat game on April 14, 1993.
The shot was part of a promo that offered 1 million dollars to any fan who could make a 75-foot shot from the free-throw line at the opposite end of the court.
The insurance company, American Hole 'N One Inc, voided the payment due to the fact that Calhoun had played college basketball, a violation of the rules.
Fan and player outrage over non-payment to Calhoun grew palpable, however, and the sponsors (which include Coca-Cola and the Bulls) honored the payment.
Calhoun got $50,000 a year over the next 20 years.
Calhoun said Michael Jordan would later say, "we made them pay it".

On April 11, 1931, Fox Movietone captured a rare moment in baseball history when they recorded Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig during batting practice before an exhibition game in Brooklyn. What makes this footage even more special is that it was initially filmed in slow motion.
Thanks to modern technology, we can now enjoy this historic video as it was originally meant to be seen – adjusted to normal speed. It offers a unique glimpse into the skills and techniques of two baseball legends during their prime.

Iridescent clouds are a diffraction phenomenon caused by small water droplets or small ice crystals individually scattering light.
They often occur on lenticular clouds on top of a cumulonimbus, called pileus.

Honda developed a hands-free wheelchair named UNI-ONE that glides as users tilt their bodies in the direction they want to move.
The chair design lets people with mobility problems use their hands while moving, for example in sports

A man trapped in the clock forever🧐
Just outside Paddington Station (London, England) is a clock, and trapped inside is a man who has to perpetually keep cleaning the face and drawing new hands on the glass.
Although many think he is a real man, the man is a video performance of a person, created by Dutch artist Maarten Baas, who was commissioned to make a series of clocks for the office building where he hangs.
