Hexagonal storms, ancient beasts, & more
//na// Scientific imaging bits of interest:
- NASA's Cassini probe has captured a weirdly hexagonal storm on Saturn. [Via]
- The Nature Photographers site features tips on photographing star trails using a digital SLR. [Via]
- Going way into the scientific-imaging archives, BibliOdyssey features an archaic comet book. The airborne sandworms it shows are something else, eh? (In an unrelated post on the site, check out this bad boy.)
- The ESA has posted images from Venus Express, peeking through the planet's clouds. Unfortunately the most striking image is largely an artist's conception.

Sheesh, John.. When I initially read this, I thought it said "comic book", and then I had this image in my head of airborne sandworms devouring my old, unbagged comic books somewhere in my parents' attic.
Phew. :)
[Heh. --J.]
Those Airborne Sandworms look awfully similar to those in the movie Tremors with Kevin Bacon.
And with the giant fish (bad boy link)...fisherman stories haven't changed a bit. They are always exaggerating.
[Yeah, but do they say there's an altar on the fish? *That's* bold. --J.]
