POPSStunning Photo of Saturn Backlit By the Sun
Kore7
by Kore7  5-20-2007    1
 With our sun behind it, Saturn carves out a majestic silhouette against the vastness of space. And the tiny speck peeking through the rings? That's us! Click on images for full-size. (Transmitted by the Cassini probe looking back at the Earth from a billion-mile-out vantage point. Background behind the image's creation.)

POPSThe Best Artwork of Carl Spitzweg
Kore7
by Kore7  2-14-2007   
 I love the sense of lighting and physicality in his paintings. Carl Spitzweg is regarded as the master of small-scale genre painting, in which he was fond of depicting—with a fine, ambiguous sense of humor—anecdotal scenes of narrow-minded bourgeois life in the so-called “good old days.” ( 1 )

POPSFractal Food: Self-Similarity on the Supermarket Shelf
Kore7
by Kore7  2-9-2007    3
 This great article on computational self-similarity in nature provided the author with an excuse to take a series of spectacular close-up photos of the incredible Romanesco broccoli plant. Fractals never looked so delicious! (Click pictures for high-resolution images.) Nearly exact self-similar fractal forms occur do in nature, but I'd never seen such a beautiful and perfect example until, some time after moving to Switzerland, I came across a chou Romanesco like the one above in a grocery store. This is so visually stunning an object that on first encounter it's hard to imagine you're looking at a garden vegetable rather than an alien artefact created with molecular nanotechnology. But of course, then you realise that vegetables are created with molecular nanotechnology, albeit the product of earthly evolution, not extraterrestrial engineering.

 Cool picture! The gold artifact, which bears the image of a feline sea god with octopuslike tentacles, had vanished from a royal tomb in Peru in the late 1980s.

POPSReal-life photo and story...nothing big...
Kore7
by Kore7  8-19-2006    5
 A while ago, I had to move to a new apartment, which is never fun. On this day, I was taking a final carload of stuff to a storage unit in a nearby city. I was grateful that this was the end of it, but I was dirty, sweaty, tired, hungry and cranky. And to add insult to injury, I had to suffer the frustration of bumper-to-bumper traffic on the way back. Grrrr.... Inching around a bend in the freeway, I'm surprised to see this gigantic arc of a rainbow gradually come into view...a vibrant ribbon carving the sky up into darkness above and lightness below. It was very pretty and, as I rounded the corner and drove underneath the bow, strangely soothing. I allowed myself to relax and feel a bit better. Before long, the traffic was un-bunching ahead of me and cool air started streaming in the car windows again as I picked up speed. I forgot about feeling sour and barely had time to snap this impromptu phone pic before heading home to spend the first night in my clean new place!
