Fractals II

Water Ways Fractals




Rivers in the Amazonas revealed by the reflection of light. Just the right angle at the right time - captured from astronauts at the ISS.

Fractals I

Fractal Flowers

Water&Moon II

Moon Mineralogy



...and YES, the blue do represent WATER! Go figure! :-)

Butterfly Navigation

Butterflies with 'GPS'



Clocks are important - and complicated - in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or GPS as most people know it as. I assume butterflies also have a rather sophisticated chronometer...:-)

Water&Moon I

Water on Our Moon



A joint effort by NASA and ISRO (Indian Space Agency) has resulted in new molecular findings on the Moon. Awesome.

Birth of Planets

New Planet - New Life



And this is how it's done - we think. :-)

Climate on Mars

We are pretty preoccupied with climate change on this planet these days. This week the Climate Week is taking place in New York City, partly preparing for the big Copenhagen meeting in December where we hope to get the replacement of the Kyoto Agreement in place. (I said HOPE).

I always say I do not discriminate against any of the planets including planet Earth. NASA must have the same philosophy. Look at this awesome study of the changing climate of Mars all revealed by laser techniques. :-)

Personal Satellites

Personal Satellite



Me want! Because? It's personal! :-)

Splendid Saturn

Superb Saturn



Satan, Saturn is Splendid! (I'm sure I can find more words starting with the letter S...but I won't. :-)) JPL has made a delicate presentation - with music on top - of Saturn and surroundings.

China and Climate Change

China and Climate Change Challenges





The media will be packed with climate change articles and opinions as we get closer to the Copenhagen meeting in December. I'll be contributing to the discourse, too. This is one fresh article written about the ongoing work by among others the Stockholm Environment Institute.

I do believe China is capable of leap-frogging the western worlds polluting history. It is a question of international politics to make that actually happen...

Ganymede

The Biggest - Ganymede



Ganymede is the biggest moon in our solar system. And looking pretty good, too.

Buzz from Space

Buzz Returns from Space...




And Stellare returns from Istanbul. Same thing. Almost. Only inverse. :-)

Go Thermal!

Thermal Imaging





And seals are not the only species we can expose to thermal imaging - here are some thermal images of my family species taken at La Villette in Paris. :-)



The Violinist & The Playboy


HOT - HOT - HOT

Hubble's New Images

Hubble gives us Butterflies



And Nancy shows us how much sharper the new Hubble butterflies are compared to the old ones...almost with the speed of light she does it too!

I've collected a whole bunch of the new Hubble images. I simply couldn't help myself. They are gorgeous. And there is a quasar among the new products. I have an extremely weak spot for quasars. :-)

Orbits

Orbits!



Learn a thing or two about orbits! (click on image)

Bugs

Bugs



One terrific example! :-)

Supernova

Adding A New Dimension to an Old Explosion



That is exactly me right now.....;-)

Despina over Neptune

Something Blue - Neptune




With 'dashes' of Despina.

Saturn

Spooky Saturn Shadow




I can watch those images of Saturn for hours. True pieces of science art. In my book anyways.
