World moon


I WISH I knew who illustrator was of the picture above! It is mesmerising and brilliant, a friend sent it to me and alas did not accompany the name with the forwarded image, and could not find the artist when they went searching. We WISH we knew who it was by!!! Brilliant!

10 for today


Some of the last images captured of Mercury, before the MESSENGER spacecraft crashed on its surface after 11 years of success on its missio

Mesmerising!


 Below is Pyrite, also known as "fool's gold" in its natural form. The universe is filled with magnificence.


Coloured scans of brains are intriguing, all those different colours different aspects of who we self-identify as, what our memories are, basically everything that makes us, us.


The brilliant underwater sculpture museum in Mexico, more here


These butterflies are made entirely out of bits of electronics


I have irresponsibly lost the source of this Instagram account, I found this enchanting work via National Geographic



Robert Montgomery art above and below. Melancholy, wistful, eerie and beautiful. Decided it best not to run a whole post otherwise I would never shut up



A rare lenticular UFO shaped cloud, how marvellous!


The seal on the Magna Carta



Above and below the most beautiful work by Toshio Ebine, it takes me to another place, and that's where good art lives, with you in another world...

Astronomy watch/ Midnight planetarium


What a wonderful beautiful watch

However, a 333K price tag is ridiculous and a terrible comment on the kind of people willing to pay this for non-essential items!

Alternate moon landing speech


That symbol of hope and pride, the space race was a welcome distraction (kinda) from Cold war politics. Even though the competition was fierce, it remained a symbol of hope, pride and modernity.

Here is a copy of the speech Nixon was to deliver if it had gone wrong, strange to think! Maybe Elon Musk and his space mates are writing one currently in the event the Mars trip goes wrong, who knows!
