Underwater explosions often behave non-intuitively. Here researchers explore the effects of surface explosions by setting off charges at the air/water interface. Initially, an unconfined explosion’s blast wave expands a cavity radially into the water. This cavity collapses back toward the surface from the bottom up, ultimately resulting in a free jet that rebounds above the water level. Confined explosions behave very differently, expanding down the glass tube containing them in a one-dimensional fashion. The cavity never extends beyond the end of the glass tube, likely due to hydrostatic pressure. (Video credit: Adrien Benusiglio, David Quéré, Christophe Clanet)

The Trifid Nebula in Stars and Dust 

Credit & Copyright: R. Jay GaBany (Cosmotography.com)

Explanation: Unspeakable beauty and unimaginable bedlam can be found together in the Trifid Nebula. Also known as M20, this photogenic nebula is visible with good binoculars towards the constellation of Sagittarius. The energetic processes of star formation create not only the colors but the chaos. The red-glowing gas results from high-energy starlight striking interstellar hydrogen gas. The dark dust filaments that lace M20 were created in the atmospheres of cool giant stars and in the debris from supernovae explosions. Which bright young stars light up the blue reflection nebula is still being investigated. The light from M20 we see today left perhaps 3000 years ago, although the exact distance remains unknown. Light takes about 50 years to cross M20.

I recently completed silkscreening my “tree of life” print. It’s an edition of 20 printed on Stonehenge vanilla paper. You can read the sordid manufacturing details here. I based the information the tree is built on from the book :The tree of life: A phylogenetic classification, so if there’s any information that’s wrong (which I assume there will eventually be), blame the book. Because there’s only so much I can comfortably fit on a 22x30 inch piece of paper, I decided to focus on lifeforms people can see with the naked eye.
