by Siblog-1 "With its rover named Curiosity, Mars Science Laboratory mission is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program, a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the red planet. Curiosity was designed to assess whether Mars ever had an environment able to support small life forms called microbes. In other words, its mission is to determine the planet's "habitability."

by Joseph_Joy "This is a Gigapixel image of the Difference Engine No. 2 (DE2) located at the Computer History Museum, Mountain View (www.computerhistory.org). Charles Babbage designed the DE2 but it was never built in his lifetime. Over 100 years later a team at the London Science Museum led by Doron Swade built the first DE2. This particular machine, owned by Narhan Myhrvold, is one of the 2 in existence, the other being at the London Science Museum. The image was stitched from 132 individual photographs using Microsoft Research’s Image Composite Editor. The photographs were taken on August 26th, 2010 by Joseph M. Joy as part of an ongoing collaboration between the Computer History Museum and Microsoft Research. Please contact the museum for more information."

Hitching Stone

by PGRic "This huge erratic boulder, which is thought to weigh about 1000 tonnes sits high on moorland to the west of Keighley, West Yorkshire, England. Many folks believe this to be the largest erratic stone in Yorkshire and others are brave enough in believing it’s the largest in England. The stone towers over the surrounding landscape and is a boundary marker between the counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire, as well as the current townships of Sutton, Cowling and Keighley. It also resides on old ‘wapentake’ boundaries which may derive from the Norse word vapnatak (weapon take) which is a meeting place. Lammas festivals which celebrated the 1st wheat harvests of the year may well have been held here from Anglo Saxon times until the last one was recorded at end of the 19th Century. Some also believe that bowls on the stone are cup marks belonging to the ‘cup and ring’ tradition dating to 3500-6000years ago, although these may well be natural in origin. One of the most intriguing aspects of the stone is a hollow or tube which runs through the stone, possibly created by a fossilised tree or large fern. On top of the stone, is a huge bowl almost bath size which is permanently filled with water. The area around this stone has obviously been an important for thousands of years and as you’d expect, many a folklore connected to giants and witches abound this stone."

by EdLee "See the Point Cloud for the trick. :) This idea hit me a while ago. You can clone as much as you want, limited only by hardware... and the graciousness of the model :) The board shows my favorite pro game, played by Fujisawa Shuko (藤澤秀行, White) and Nie Wei Ping (聶衛平, Black) on Nov 20, 1988. It's a beautiful game because Nie sacrificed his 5 stones in the center for the huge lower right framework -- the level required for this superb judgement is amazing. Fujisawa: June 14,1925 - May 8,2009."
