Inside the Eagle Nebula
From afar, the whole thing looks like an Eagle. A closer look at the Eagle Nebula, however, shows the bright region is actually a window into the center of a larger dark shell of dust. Through this window, a brightly-lit workshop appears where a whole open cluster of stars is being formed. In this cavity tall pillars and round globules of dark dust and cold molecular gas remain where stars are still forming. Already visible are several young bright blue stars whose light and winds are burning away and pushing back the remaining filaments and walls of gas and dust. The Eagle emission nebula, tagged M16, lies about 6500 light years away, spans about 20 light-years, and is visible with binoculars toward the constellation of the Serpent (Serpens). This picture combines three specific emitted colors and was taken with the 0.9-meter telescope on Kitt Peak, Arizona, USA.

This building has apparently lost its Ivy League status. There’s no word on where the building is, or whether the “vertical garden” was removed deliberately or just fell by its own weight. I’m also not sure if this vine is some kind of ivy or euonymus or creeping fig or ficus. But it’s a certainly an a-peeling picture! The downside is all the birds and bugs and spiders that are now looking for a new home. -via reddit

Temple Grandin is autistic. Her brain works differently from that of most people, and she uses that difference in her work with cattle. Grandin was the subject of an HBO biopic, gave a terrific TED Talk on her work, and wrote the book Thinking in Pictures. Years ago, Grandin was interviewed by documentarian Errol Morris for his TV show First Person. The interview shows Grandin's famous squeeze machine, and offers an excellent introduction to her work. Have a look.

Part 1

Introduction and the squeeze machine.

Part 2

Optical illusions! Near death experiences! Vatican City! Why curves matter to cows!

Part 3

"I know what it's like to feel fearful and scared." Plus, the distinction between linguistic thinking and visual thinking.

If you liked that, there's TONS MORE in the DVD set of the show: Errol Morris' First Person - The Complete Series. (The discs are also on Netflix if you still do the DVD thing.)

YouTube isn’t known for making discovery of songs from one particular artist or band easy. Now, that changes with a small but important addition when you type in a search – a long list of the top tracks and albums all linking to the videos YouTube has on their site. Click on any of the tracks, albums, or the large thumbnail on the top and you immediately jump into a custom playlist. Then lean back and listen to your favorite artist without any further intervention. The new playlist feature makes it a much more organized YouTube. A small selection of...
