This past year marked the 25th Anniversary of the Graphics Interchange Format. From its humble beginnings at Netscape, to its current prominence in today’s Tumblr-driven culture, the GIF has come a long way, bb.

All this week, in honor of the Lifetime Achievement Award GIF inventor Steve Wilhite is receiving at this year’s Webbys we will be celebrating GIF WEEK. It’s like shark week but way, way better. 

And FYI, it’s pronounced “jiff.” And that’s according to the guy who invented it. If you have any problems with that, take it up with this guy. 

I’ll be cold and buried before I recognize the soft G.

Well that’s the most quietly frightening gif I’ve ever seen. Excellent.

What you’re seeing here: Meteoroids enter the atmosphere at extremely high speeds — 7-45 miles (11-72 km) per second. The friction of Earth’s atmosphere breaks molecules of both the meteoroid and the atmosphere into glowing ionized particles, which then recombine, releasing light energy to form a bright “tail” called a meteor. Learn more about How Meteoroids Work.
