The Nature Trail is a project by lighting designer Jason Bruges, which has turned the otherwise nondescript corridor route from ward to surgery into an adventure through a forest, complete with glimpses of glowing animals snatched through the trees. [via]

Radio Astronomy

A fireball (very bright meteor) flashes against the coalsack nebula and the Southern Cross in the night sky above Murchison Widefield Array radio telescope antennas.

The fireball left a glowing trail that dissipated over several minutes. The southern Milky Way and our neighboring dwarf galaxies the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are also visible in this south-looking image.

Emerging out of the Western Australian outback MWA is a remarkable telescope for radio astronomy where more than 2000 antennas are spread across 3 square kilometers, in 128 groups of dual-polarisation dipole antennas. — John Goldsmith

young French photographer Valentin Messager (facebook) - “I use photography to convey an emotion, a message that I can not communicate with the illustration and painting or other ways that I use. For this photo series in connection with the galaxy, I wanted to represent God in its original state, as the creator of the solar system, and life in general.”
