Very cool set of images of the May 20, 2012 annular solar eclipse taken by the radio telescope at Osaka Prefecture University.
So tempted to send this to my former astronomy teacher, who always runs a "women in astronomy" unit to help female scientists gain visibility among students.

Smart Jewelry: The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states a fundamental limit on the accuracy with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle, such as position and momentum, can be simultaneously known. In layman's terms: the more precisely one property is measured, the less precisely the other can be controlled, determined, or known.

Nautilus Flax Flower. Science blogger Alchemystress liked it so much, she had it inked on her arm. I love when people are inspired enough by my artwork to make it permanently part of themselves.
Maria Mitchell (August 1, 1818 – June 28, 1889) was an American astronomer, who in 1847, by using a telescope, discovered a comet which as a result became known as the "Miss Mitchell's Comet". She won a gold medal prize for her discovery which was presented to her by King Frederick VII of Denmark. The medal said “Not in vain do we watch the setting and rising of the stars”. Mitchell was the first American woman to work as a professional astronomer.
