"...all things are made of atoms — little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another." Richard Feynman

The 'Golden Age of Antibiotics'

[Saloni @salonium]

Many people talk about the 'Golden Age of Antibiotics' but I hadn't seen it visualized properly.

How abundant was antibiotic development during that time period? How many types of antibiotics were developed?

So I visualized it myself!

@Rainmaker1973 A great video here!

It is neat that researchers cracked a key problem of one of humanity’s oldest art forms five days ago.

There was no one tile you could use in a mosaic to create a non-repeating pattern. Now there is a family of them. Nice explanation from @Ayliean. Tools: https://t.co/v59dE3wjte

On Friday, the sun put on a dazzling show for us. My friend @TheVastReaches and I worked hard over the last 5 days to produce this incredibly detailed 140 megapixel image to illustrate how wonderfully dynamic and beautiful our star can be. Make sure you zoom in!

Astounding image of the Horsehead Nebula from @AJamesMcCarthy

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

I pointed a 12" telescope at the leftmost star in Orion's belt for 20 hours to reveal the Horsehead Nebula and surrounding objects. This is my deepest and most detailed image of that region, captured in true color. Make sure you zoom in to check out all the little details!

Incredible image of the lunar eclipse

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

A composite image from this morning's eclipse showing the moon in various stages throughout the night. The size and shape of Earth's shadow is clearly visible here. These events are absolutely magical to witness and quite surreal.

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

This painting is over 200 years old.

It's by William Blake: the most radical, terrifying, and visionary artist you'll ever know...
