Stunning Star Trail Photographs from International Space Station
NASA astronaut Don Pettit recently uploaded a gallery of photos to the Johnson Space Center’s Flickr page. Pettit on how he captured these amazing images:
“My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, the ‘stack’ them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure.”
Ed note: Here are the Hubble Space Telescope’s finest photos.

Sergio Cittolin, a scientist working on the Large Hadron Collider, combined his two passions of art and science to create a series of incredible drawings of various elements of the LHC, in the style of Leonardo da Vinci.
Don’t forget to take the time to see his other beautiful drawings of the LHC! They’re definitely worth having a look.

Clever way to show how bureaucracy makes so complex to change streets. Just change the names for the agencies and public departments in your own context!
A regular Joe might think it’s easy to change something on the very streets they walk on, but they would be mistaken. Before anything happens, a proposal and a plan has to go through multiple layers of bureaucracy, as graduate planning student Huma Husain’s visual clearly shows above. (via Carren Jao: Notes)

“I want to see the traces, stains and dirt of my work, the layering of erased lines, errors and failures, the repeated re-tracings on the drawings, and the collage of corrections, additions and eliminations on the page that i am writing….These traces help me feel the continuity and purposefulness of the work, to dwell in the work, and to grasp the multiplicity, the plasticity as it were, of the task.”
