35mm
"35mm" is a short film about cinema itself. The creators picked 35 of their favorite movies and tried to simplify them as far as possible. The outcome is a 2 minute journey through the history of film."
This is way awesome for a little fun group project. Art for art’s sake is where it’s at.
Concept / Layout: Sarah Biermann, Torsten Strer, Felix Meyer, Pascal Monaco

Ultraviolet Andromeda
This stunning vista represents the highest resolution image ever made of the Andromeda Galaxy (aka M31) at ultraviolet wavelengths. Recorded by NASA's Swift satellite, the mosaic is composed of 330 individual images covering a region 200,000 light-years wide. It shows about 20,000 sources, dominated by hot, young stars and dense star clusters that radiate strongly in energetic ultraviolet light. Of course, the Andromeda Galaxy is the closest large spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way, at a distance of some 2.5 million light-years. Just slide your cursor over the image to compare the appearance of this gorgeous island universe in optical light with its ultraviolet portrait. Click the image to get the hi-res version.

Quote of the Day
"Because if smart women who know how smart they are intimidate men (and they do), and beautiful women who know how beautiful they are intimidate men (and they do), there is, logically, nothing more intimidating than a woman who is fully aware that she is both smart and beautiful. I mean, maybe a room full of tigers with machine guns! That could be scarier! Or, a smart and beautiful lady who makes jokes."
