gothamlist june 5th -7th
by Greg on Jun.05, 2009, under Science Event
I can’t believe it’s the weekend already. Did something happen this week that i lost track of some days? i need to check my schedule to explain how all of a sudden Friday came out of nowhere. Maybe it has been the now approaching its 3rd day discussion Jim and i have been having on if mushrooms have brains. It probably means i need a break from being out thought by jim, so i am going to go to philly and enjoy some funk noise. Find something to do: here is the gothamlist for a start.

update: it would only be fair to say that I was the one arguing on the side of mushrooms having brains.

Nasa's Image of the Day
Composite of a Series of Images Taken From Space Aboard the Space Station
This is a composite of a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit said of the about photographic techniques used to achieve the images: "My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then ‘stack’ them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." A total of 18 images photographed by the astronaut-monitored stationary camera were combined to create this composite. Image Credit: NASA
