Wenn alle Planeten den selben Abstand wie der Mond zur Erde hätten

Verrückte Idee von Brad Goodspeed.

Here’s an animation I did to make you feel small, and also convey the deep awe I feel at the feet of the Universe.

While watching the video of the lunar eclipse I posted the other day I was looking at the curvature of the earth’s shadow on the moon. It made me think about how large the earth might look if an exact copy of it was up there instead of the moon. Soon curiosity got the better of me, and I was animating!

So the basic idea is, each planet you see is the size it would appear in the sky if it shared an orbit with the moon, 380,000 kms from earth. I created this video in After Effects, and because of certain technical considerations had to keep the field of view at 62 degrees. That means the foreground element is not precisely to scale. I realized this after the fact and may update the video at some point in the future. All planets are to correct scale with one another in any case.

Todd McLellans zerlegte Pentax

Typischer Fall von Tumblr-Schlamperei, da dieses Bild gerade auf gefühlten 300 Tumblrs die Runde macht, es aber niemand schafft, die Originalquelle zu nennen.

Todd McLellan zerlegt Dinge, alle möglichen Dinge. Dann legt er die Teile derer nebeneinander und fotografiert sie. Hier seine alte Pentax. Alle anderen Bilder sind mindestens genauso sehenswert.

Gemälde schießen

Es gibt dann wohl doch Dinge, die man mit Gewehren machen kann, die zumindest halbwegs sinnvoll erscheinen, auch wenn deren Nutzbarkeit diskutabel ist. So schießt Walton Creel mit einem Gewehr Bilder in Blech. „When I decided I wanted to make art using a gun, I was not sure what direction I would have to take. I knew I did not want to use it simply as an accent to work I was doing, but as the focus. My main goal was to take the destructive power away from the gun. To manipulate the gun into a tool of creation and use it in a way that removed it from its original purpose, to deweaponize it.“

Wie man Ahornsirup macht

Ich hatte keine Ahnung, wie man Ahornsirup macht. Dieses Video hier bringt diesbezügliches Licht in mein Dunkel und erläutert wie Kat Becker und Tony Shultz in Athen genau das tun; Ahornsirup machen.
