Huge transmission towers in Itaipú hidroelectric dam, in Paraná river, built in 1975 between Brazil and Paraguay.
Arizona Canal in central Maricopa County. Its construction led to the founding of several communities in the late 1880s.
Russian Soyuz spacecraft moments before taking off to the ISS from Baikonur (Kazajstán).
Fundamental Constant May Depend on Where in the Universe You Are
A fundamental physical constant akin to the charge of the electron or the speed of light may depend on where in the universe you are, a team of astronomers reports. If true, that observation would overturn scientists’ basic assumption that the laws of physics are the same everywhere in the universe. Other researchers are skeptical, however.

The three-day-old Nephasoma pellucidum larva (peanut worm larva) shows its muscles in neon green, cell nuclei in blue, digestive system in red, and the cilia that give it mobility in blue.

“Master planning competition for administrative town in Korea. How Nature should Design a City / How City should Preserve a Nature.”
From nature to topography, from topography to robotics. More information about the project: http://www.new-territories.com/korea%202.htm
“This artist’s concept animation depicts key events of NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory mission, which will launch in late 2011 and land a rover, Curiosity, on Mars in August 2012.”
Shukov Towers in Oka River, Russia, in 1988, shortly before the power line was decommissioned a year later. The tower is one of several models of tower structures designed by Russian engineer and scientist Vladimir Shukhov. Photo by Igor Kazus.
Anthropologist Felix Pharand’s amazingly beautiful diagrams transcend the realm of mere infographic.
These silvery threads stretching around the dark globe create a dramatic spider’s web showing the patterns of our global sprawl.
The stunning images are the result of 13 years of devotion by Canadian anthropologist Felix Pharand who uses them to show how human technologies such as data cables, aeroplanes and roads are colonising the surface of our planet.
Using an ordinary home PC, Pharand input data from agencies such as the Geospatial Intelligence Agency and Atmospheric Administration to create accurate illustrations of how humans have ‘domesticated’ our planet - superimposing the data on images of the earth’s cities lit up at night.
