Hubble telescope captures 'smiley face.'

The Hubble Telescope detected a "smiley face" out in the far reaches of the universe. The grinning figure actually shows an enormous galaxy cluster. SpaceTelescope.org explains:

"In the case of this 'happy face', the two eyes are very bright galaxies and the misleading smile lines are actually arcs caused by an effect known as strong gravitational lensing.

Galaxy clusters are the most massive structures in the Universe and exert such a powerful gravitational pull that they warp the spacetime around them and act as cosmic lenses which can magnify, distort and bend the light behind them."

The smirking smile and the contours of the face are caused by that warping and bending of light around the cluster. The effect is also known as "Einstein ring."

Australia's oldest man spends time knitting tiny sweaters for rescued Penguins

When Alfie arrived at his new home, an elderly-care village on the New South Wales Central Coast, he was immediately asked if he could put his well-known knitting skills to good use. Around that time in March 2014, Phillip Island’s Penguin Foundation requested the help of knitters around the world to make sweaters for penguins who had fallen victim to an oil spill. So naturally, Alfie signed up!

Sweaters are vital in the rescue of penguins affected by oil spills. A patch of oil the size of a thumbnail can cause their feathers separate and get matted together, allowing the cold to reach their otherwise protected skin. Penguins who are covered with oil will instinctively try and clean themselves by picking at their feathers with their beaks, this causes them to ingest oil which can damage their digestive system. Placing sweaters on rescued penguins prevents them from ingesting any oil while preening and keeps them nice and warm.

Hey Random Posters,

You post some of the most evocative images on the Planet. If you have any images of cooking (whatever that means to you) in the public domain, that for some random reason strike you as very arresting, I'd love to see them.

I'm working on a book cover, and it's really hard. And it's not a cookbook.

Thanks, Ginger

It took me a second to figure out what this was – this is for Ginger's cooking photo request. :)

Very cool, Daniela. I like the sensual messiness of the cooking. I think you just opened a door for me. Thank you.

PS, I'm going to move my request to a new thread.

Sorry
