Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions in the cosmos. Astronomers think most occur when the core of a massive star runs out of nuclear fuel, collapses under its own weight, and forms a black hole, as illustrated in this animation. The black hole then drives jets of particles that drill all the way through the collapsing star at nearly the speed of light. These jets pierce through the star, emitting X-rays and gamma rays (magenta) as they stream into space. They then plow into material surrounding the doomed star and produce a multiwavelength afterglow that gradually fades away. The closer to head-on we view one of these jets, the brighter it.

The burst triggered detectors on numerous spacecraft, and observatories around the globe followed up.

Erwin Panofsky

Resim
Perspektif, mekânları bir yüzey üzerinde temsil edebilmenin tekniği. Gerçeği canlandırabilmek için icat edilmiş bir yanılsama düzeni. Panofsky’ye göre bir “sembolik form”: “Perspektif bir değer öğesi değil, muhakkak ki bir stil öğesi.”  Perspektif için Erwin Panofsky’ın ‘Perspektif’ kitabını edinebilirsiniz Türkçe baskısı kitapçılarda mevcut. Ben ayrıca ‘Gotik Mimarlık ve Skolastik Felsefe’ baskısını da edindim.

Resim
Bir sıçramayı fotoğrafladığınızda, bir ânı dondurursunuz ve o artık başka bir şeye dönüşmüş olur. Gerçek hayatta bir sıçramanın asla bu şekilde görülemeyeceğini biliyorum, çok hızlı bir şekilde olup bitiyor. İşte bu benim çok ilgimi çeken bir durum oldu, bu yüzden çok, çok yavaş bir şekilde boyadım.   David Hockney A Bigger Splash 1967 (detay)

Twenty Thousand Leagues

 It is marvelous!                                     Jules Verne “It was a vast, four-sided room, thirty feet long, eighteen wide, and fifteen high. A luminous ceiling, decorated with light arabesques, shed a soft clear light over all the marvels accumulated in this museum. For it was in fact a museum, in which an intelligent and prodigal hand had gathered all the treasures of nature and art, with the artistic confusion which distinguishes a painter’s studio. Thirty first-rate pictures, uniformly framed, separated by bright drapery, ornamented the walls, which were hung with tapestry of severe design. I saw works of great value, the greater part of which I had admired in the special collections of Europe, and in the exhibitions of paintings. The several schools of the old masters were represented by a Madonna of Raphael, a Virgin of Leonardo da Vinci, a nymph of Corregio, a woman of Titan, an Adoration of Veronese, an Assumption of Murillo, a portrait of Holbein, a monk of Velasquez,
