Fermi’s Motion Produces a Study in Spirograph NASA Goddard Photo and Video, 2013The Vela pulsar outlines a fascinating pattern showing 51 months of position and exposure data from Fermi’s Large Area Telescope (LAT). The pattern reflects numerous motions of the spacecraft, including its orbit around Earth, the precession of its orbital plane, the manner in which the LAT nods north and south on alternate orbits, and more. This image compresses the Vela movie sequence into a single snapshot by merging pie-slice sections from eight individual frames. Note: I like that this beast has a tongue.

Blue Post and Lintel I John McCracken, 1965 Plywood, fiberglass and lacquer | 102 x 32 x 17 in. (259.1 x 81.3 x 43.2 cm) Norton Simon Museum, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick R. Weisman These brilliantly colored, highly polished, exquisitely smooth sculptures have the uncanny ability to appear solid, shimmer into nonexistence, look like light, oscillate, wobble, and seem to levitate in an in-between dimension.
