Colossal: Exceptionally Slow-Motion Footage Documents Tropical Butterflies Bursting from Their Chrysalises and Taking Flight, DECEMBER 15, 2021,  GRACE EBERT

In an extravagant display of evolutionary tricks and mating rituals, new footage by Adrian Smith of the wildly popular Ant Lab YouTube channel focuses on six tropical butterflies. The extremely slow-motion montage zeroes in on a trio of tropical creatures as they crack open and emerge from their chrysalises and others like the striking Blue Morpho as they take flight. Smith paired the spectacular clips with behind-the-scenes footage of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences Living Conservatory, which fosters a climate-controlled environment that hundreds of butterflies hatch from every few weeks. If you haven’t seen his previous footage yet, make sure you watch these moths and an unusual muppet-esque troupe as they lift off the ground. (via The Kids Should See This)

Check out https://naturalsciences.org/ for info about when to visit our museum and the butterflies. [Right now (Dec, 2021) the exhibit is closed due to pandemic-related safety measures.

A New Infrared View of the Dolomites by Paolo Pettigiani Shows Craggy Landscapes in Cotton Candy Colors

MARCH 26, 2018  LAURA STAUGAITIS

26-year old photographer Paolo Pettigiani (previously) has been taking pictures since age 11, and in the last few years has produced several series of eye-popping infrared images. Pettigiani’s most recent work showcases the Dolomites, a craggy mountain range in the northeastern region of his native Italy.

Infrared photography uses a special film or light sensor that processes the usually not-visible wavelengths of infrared light (specifically near-infrared, as opposed to far-infrared, which is used in thermal imaging.) The resulting images from Pettigiani depict the stands of coniferous trees as watermelon-pink, while surfaces that don’t reflect IR light stay more true to their nature hues. You can see more of the artist’s photographs on his website, as well as on Behance and Instagram. Pettigiani also offers prints of his work via Lumas.

X-ray analysis reveals ‘highly decorated’ Viking sword caked in dirt and rust

(Historic Environment Scotland)

Archaeologists in Scotland have revealed the ornate hilt of a Viking sword after scanning it with X-rays. The sword is highly corroded and covered in dirt, but the new images show the weapon in a new light and reveal its striking design.

The sword is part of a hoard of Viking treasures unearthed in 2015 at a burial site on Papa Westray, one of the Orkney Islands located north of mainland Scotland. Archaeologists found the sword laid atop human remains. The burial also contained a buckle, arrows and a shield boss — the metal, central part of a shield. The site likely dates back to the first-generation Norwegian settlers, who came to the Orkney Islands during the 10th century, according to Historic Environment Scotland.

Rare wispy ice formations streak across the sea near Antarctica in beautiful satellite images

(NASA Earth Observatory/Joshua Stevens/Landsat 8)

Strong winds and unusual ocean currents helped paint a breathtaking icescape on the surface of the ocean near Antarctica, and the rare phenomenon was recently captured in a stunning satellite image.

The incredible image was taken on Nov. 20 by the Operational Land Imager onboard Landsat 8, a collaboration between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey, and was released on Dec. 8 by NASA’s Earth Observatory. The picture focuses on a channel of water about 3.7 miles (6 kilometers) across between the Ronne Ice Shelf — a permanent floating extension of the main Antarctic Ice Sheet, which birthed A-76, the world’s largest iceberg, in May — and a large chunk of sea ice in the Weddell Sea.

Physicists create new state of matter from quantum soup of magnetically weird particles

Scientists have spotted a long hypothesized, never-seen-before state of matter in the laboratory for the first time.

By firing lasers at an ultracold lattice of rubidium atoms, scientists have prodded the atoms into a messy soup of quantum uncertainty known as a quantum spin liquid. The atoms in this quantum magnetic soup quickly became connected, linking up their states across the entire material in a process called quantum entanglement. This means that any change to one atom causes immediate changes in all of the others in the material; this breakthrough could pave the way for the development of even better quantum computers, the researchers said in a paper describing their findings Dec. 3 in the journal Science.

Hi, Ing!

I’ve been invited to participate in this year’s Newark Open Doors (officially) and will be putting on a group show entitled ‘Newark International’. I was hoping you might be interested in participating with 1-4 pieces. Let me know!

All the best,

Hi Charley,

It was nice to hear from you.  Thanks for your earlier response on “Honor Killing”

I will be glad to participate in your group show entitled ‘Newark International’.  If you do not mind I would like to have my finished peace project artwork exhibit.  I posted most of them on my Home page website if you would like to view them. 

John says thanks for your acknowledgement on his sister passing.  Please let me know how your preparation for the exhibition is progressing.  Where will the exhibition be held?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Ing

Hi, Ing!

Thank you so much, Ing! It means a lot to me for you to participate in the exhibit. Yes, absolutely please bring the peace project. The exhibit will be in a commercial storefront on Broad Street, most likely one I’m assigned by Newark Arts Council (probably 744 Broad) or one I have in reserve at 889 Broad (diagonally across the street from City Hall). I will keep everyone updated on all developments.

One quick question: Can you please send me a picture of the Gandhi piece(s)? I need it for the Newark Arts Council’s promotional materials for the festival. Thanks! – Charley

2.       For the artwork that I would like to display at your exhibition; please visit the following link to view some of them: https://ingpeaceproject.com/

3.      If it is possible I would like to have a table or easel for my Peace Poster for people to write their comments on “What does Peace mean to you?” on the reception day. 

Please let me know of your decisions.

Thanks,

Ing

Hi, Ing,

Thanks very much for the link; it was the Gandhi #4 I was looking for. I’m already familiar with the project and you know I love your art work. Also, it won’t be a problem at all for the table and easels on the reception day. Feel free to contact me at any time with any other questions or concerns.

Jacob Landau and His Circle Art Exhibition

Jacob Landau and His Circle Art Exhibition

At Gaelen Gallery East

760 Northfield Avenue, West Orange, NJ 07052

Reception on Saturday, April 10, 2016

Joanne Leone is a great contemporary artist and our good friend.  She invited us to the reception at an art exhibition that displayed her work along with the art work of other artists.  This exhibition is unique and important because the central artist of the show, Jacob Landau, was a legendary master teacher and artist, of Joanne and all the other artists in the show.  Jacob Landau’s artwork exhibited with six of his students, Eleta Caldwell, Gladys Grauer, Joanne Leone, Jack McGovern, George Schorr, and Myron Wasserman.

Joanne always tells us how proud and privileged she is to have studied with Jacob Landau.  I have asked her to write her experiences with this special art teacher, which I will post in this project when she finishes her composition.  We enjoyed the art show and were very glad to see some friends. The following is some of the photographs that I took at the reception:

   Joanne was telling her friends and the viewers about how her teacher, Jacob Landau, advised her about how to visualize and approach the start of a painting.

Dr. David Herrstron, president of the Jacob Landau Institute discussed the Holocaust Suite lithographs

Hi Joanne,

It was nice talking to you on the phone.  Thank you so much for wanting to write your experience with your art teacher Jacob Landau.  The attachment is the incomplete project for you to see.  I will post it after I complete the project on my website, Blog page.  I will send you the link after I post the project.

Please let me know what you think about it.  Your recommendations will be very helpful.  I hope to see you after John comes back from Wales.

All the best,
