Our Strange Sky: The Auroral Rings of Iceland
Posted by mistergroonk in Just Freaking Neat, Photography, Space on May 17, 2011
We’ve returned, faithful reader! The battle for reliable Internet connectivity has been won. And the winner is everyone.
While we get back into the groove of things, have a look at Iceland’s beautiful green sky.
On this night, the sky was not only the best show in town, but a composite image of the sky won an international competition for landscape astrophotography. The above winning image was taken two months ago over Jökulsárlón, the largest glacial lake in Iceland. The photographer combined six exposures to capture not only two green auroral rings, but their reflections off the serene lake. Visible in the distant background sky is the band of our Milky Way Galaxy, the Pleiades open clusters of stars, and the Andromeda galaxy.

Posted by mistergroonk in Art, Food on September 15, 2010
We like our coffee like we like our women. Weightless and off-center.
Shanghai-based designer, Xu54, designer and produced this unexpected porcelain mug which stands perfectly at a tilt. The peculiar graph on the face of the mug represents the trajectory of love, which states ‘The entity of love leads to weightlessness, freeing one from gravity and resistance’.
We like our coffee like we like our women. Tipsy and ready to fall over.
We like our coffee like we like our women. Half up. Half down.
