POPSBest Microscopic-life Images of 2009 OK. Tell me, again, that this all just evolved and that there is not an amazingly powerful Creator behind each and every existing creature and formation. All of it didn't 'amplify'...my fault...but the world of the microscopic is as amazing as the vastness of the universe.

POPSBye Bye Birdie: Famed Fossil Loses Avian Perch just one of several species of feathered dinosaurs preceding modern birds. It may not even be a direct ancestor. Such revisions make paleontology a science of second thoughts. Reconstructing the history of life, researchers thrash out theories of ancestry, behavior and biomechanics guided by hints from ancient bones. Archaeopteryx -- combining the feathers, wishbone and wings of a bird with the reptilian tail, teeth and claws of a dinosaur -- had already become a question mark. Newly discovered fossils have prompted scientists to revamp their assumptions about archaeopteryx's distinguishing features over the last decade. A cornucopia of fossil finds in China demonstrated that feathers coated many dinosaur species, not just birds. The newest finding, though, demonstrates that our understanding of even well-studied fossils like archaeopteryx -- scrutinized, measured, modeled for 150 years -- can still be upended.

POPS More Reason's to Love my Microscope Can you see the duallities here? The first one looks like blackberries. So many of them look like popular fruits like oranges and strawberries, etc. There is one that looks like a waterfall landscape and some look like flower gardens. Fascinating and beautiful. To think that some of these common slime molds may hold the keys to cures for the most horrific diseases that plague the human race, is the scientific side of it. The sheer beauty is the aesthetic side. All of it is wonderous to me.

POPSResearcher uncovers secrets of Kells 'angels' more (at source): The monks could then refine any disparities by minimizing the apparent vertical depth of the images -- ultimately replicating the design element to submillimeter precision. Cisne proposed the idea in the July 17 issue of the journal Perception (Vol. 38, No. 7). The paper suggests that the technique, called free-fusion stereocomparison, which takes advantage of the brain's ability to perceive depth by integrating the slightly different views from each eye, was known nearly a thousand years before it was articulated by stereoscope inventor Sir George Wheatstone in the 19th century. Cisne analyzed the most detailed illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages, created between 670 and 800 A.D., including the Book of Kells (circa 800 A.D.); some have as many as 30 lines per centimeter.
