Hey, is that the (half-)face of Andrew Eldritch in the snow, in that second pic?
I think you should go onto a Sisters message board and mention this manifestation of the visage of their messiah. You'll be hailed as a prophet.

So hipstamatic makes photos looks like colour photos from the mid-70's that were stuck in photo albums sitting on bookshelves in direct sunlight. Or is that just me?

Harrumph. Well, I like it. But then again I'm a sucker for the trend of new cameras mimicking vintage toy cameras.

WISE is the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer, an infrared space telescope. The first images from WISE have been released.
That's a comet, the tail of which is 10 million miles long.
The whole image is a star-forming cluster; the inset is a visible-light image from the Hubble Telescope. The WISE image is 2,500x larger than the Hubble image.
NASA press release
Project website: wise.astro.ucla.edu
What's really cool for me is that the Principle Investigator for WISE is a UCLA researcher, so this award came through our team in my office. I processed the award! If it wasn't for me, this wouldn't have happened (not really--somebody else would have processed it).

You saved me the bother of posting those images. I love the Andromeda one:

Give it a few billion years and there will be here.

I have I have to deal with it (ever so much at a distance) for my job, might as well take an interest. And an article in Wired I read at lunch today mentioned another researcher in a department I handle, so had to pay attention. More than one of the few science classes I took in college were astronomy--I took the basic astronomy series to fulfill a general education requirement--so I'm not completely ignorant about it. Just never really paid much attention when I didn't have to.
This photo of mine was used on a post at the blog Eater LA today (you put photos in their Flickr pool, they choose some to put up on the site):

Birmingham gets a lot of flak for the crapness of its architecture, but it wasn't always so. A petrol station in Sheldon, taken in 1935. Designed by Harry Weedon , I think, who had a large hand in the early Odeon cinemas.

Just a heads up for the astronomy nerds: Brian Cox's new documentary, Wonders Of The Solar System, starts on Sunday. BBC 2, 9pm.

How about some some Victorian (early Edwardian) post-mortem photography? Probably the most macabre subject matter ever put to celluloid.
Say goodbye to your brother.
This one is believed to be of a then still living child who was on her/his deathbed, which if true makes it particularly powerful.

Fantastic. I did some research on Victorian attitudes to death for a photography course - there was probably a fuckload more childhood deaths around in them days - and if it takes three hours to get your camera ready you probably didn't have time to snap the sickly nippers playing Jenga before they carked it. Easier while they're er... less lively.
