Und wieder ist ein Stück Science Fiction (bzw. Action Kino) Wirklichkeit geworden:

"AIA caught this beautiful prominence eruption only a few days after its doors were opened. Soon after the instruments opened their doors, the Sun began performing for SDO with this beautiful prominence eruption. This AIA data is from March 30, 2010 [...] This extreme ultraviolet emission line is from singly ionized Helium, or He II, and corresponds to a temperature of approx. 50,000 degrees Celsius."
"This movie [...] shows the Sun's magnetic field followed by only four of SDO's 12 imaging wavebands. You'll see an eruption, flare, and dimming (dark regions evacuated by the eruption) by observing the event in several different layers of the atmosphere."
"This movie starts with a magnetogram from HMI and moves on to 7 different wavebands observed by AIA's telescopes. AIA covers a wide range of temperatures and will answer important questions about the temperature and energy structure of the Sun's atmosphere."(via Space Gizmo)
"Landscapes for the People is an ongoing series that looks at the use of romanticized wallpaper landscape photographs found in everyday environments. These wall sized photographic murals seem to serve a psychological function, given their potentially intimidating or banal locations, like dental rooms and laundromats [...] The resulting photographs of these locations document the strange play of the functional environment and the idealized psychological landscape." Mark Lyon: Landscapes for the People (nicht direkt verlinkbar weil Flash: In der Navi unter "Images" zu finden)(via STRANGELY BEAUTIFUL THINGS)
"Mit dem Bionischen Handling-Assistenten haben die Ingenieure von Festo eine Durchbruchsinnovation geschaffen, welche die Handhabungstechnik bis hin zur Mensch-Technik-Kooperation (r)evolutionieren wird."Und dann auch noch ein Video mit schwäbelndem Oettinger-Englisch ...
"BarRectum, Arsch Bar, Asshole Bar, Bar Anus. While the translations sound different, the form is universally recognizable. The bar takes its shape from the human digestive system: starting with the tongue, continuing to the stomach, moving through the small and the large intestines and exiting through the anus. While BarRectum is anatomically correct, the last part of the large intestine has been inflated to a humongous size to hold as many drinking customers at the bar as possible. The anus itself is part of a large door that doubles as an emergency exit." BarRectum, 2005

"Pork fat is one of the most popular food in Ukraine. It is eaten raw, fried, salted, boiled and smoked. Pork fat is used to lard any other meat but pork. Eggs fried on pork fat are a popular fast food ..." Flickr-Set: Ukrainian Cuisine (mit radebrechender Orginal-Beschreibung)
Von den leider nur sechs Fotos sind zwei schon etwas älter, die anderen aber erst vor ein paar Tagen hochgeladen worden: ich habe mir jedenfalls den Album-Feed abonniert und hoffe auf mehr."I work at a museum. We have an XRay machine. I had to test it. These are the results." XRays of Toys
"Gezeigt werden unzusammenhängende Szenen aus aller Welt, die den Zuschauer schockieren, aber auch unterhalten sollen. Bei vielen Szenen geht es um den brutalen Umgang mit Tieren, Schlachtungen und Rituale. Es werden aber auch Bilder mit befremdlichen menschlichen Bräuchen gezeigt, so z. B. stark alkoholisierte Männer auf der Hamburger Reeperbahn."(Neulich beim Kraftfuttermischwerk gesehen, aber vergessen zu bloggen und jetzt vom Cartoonist nochmal erinnert worden)
