Human and Human-Looking Animal Eyes

"We are science, connected."

Nautilus, a blog about relatable science, posts an interesting topic each month and posts an article about that topic each Thursday. The section of the blog that I found the information below is entitled "Facts So Romantic: BIOLOGY."

Capturing Natural Spirals

Water is so interesting. The two little hydrogen and one little oxygen molecules flow together in solid (ice), liquid (water), or gas (vapor), and can also pick up traces of sediment or leftovers, depending on which environment it runs through. When water is cast off from something, it can behave in different ways. See my  previous post for some odd water behavior. Below are some examples of photographers capturing water being cast off in a logarithmic spiral: spiral from here photo by Arvin Rahimzadeh photo by Cody Slinger photo by Naveen Shunmuganathan via thisiscolossal  and flickr Photographers also have captured paint, milk, coffee, and other liquids demonstrating this phenomenon.

Paris: The Jewish Quarter, Louvre Courtyard and A Phallic Eiffel Tower

Image
Good morning! Bonjour! Today we went to a small cafe in Bastille called  Cafe Truc , which literally means Cafe "Stuff." It was so cutely decorated and we enjoyed a traditional French breakfast here: croissant, pain du chocolat, tea, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. On our way to the Jewish quarter, we passed a museum with the sculpture below. The exhibit was showing all kinds of street sculpture and I recognized this from an article that was shared with me years ago. It reminded me of the other Bruno Catalano sculptures that were debuted in 2013. Pigeon taking a bath. Under the arches on the Place De Vosges: We made it to the Temple Des Vosges, which is an Orthodox shul in the middle of Paris. We were informed that the seats are full every Shabbat, and they have weddings and other special events there regularly. There was also a reception hall that had hand-painted walls with scenes from the Bible: Afterwards, we continued on to the Rue De

Paris: An Arch, A Tower, and A River

Bonjour! Another day in Paris... today we decided we wanted to see the tourist-y Arc De Triomphe from the top, the Eiffel Tower, and the Seine River. We started the day with breakfast: fresh croissants and pain au chocolat  bought for us by our host's boyfriend, the aptly-French-named Theibaut. These were so delicious! Flaky and sweet, they hit the spot. We waited in line at the Arc for only about 20 minutes before purchasing our tickets. Then we walked up the spiral staircase: (not for the faint-of-heart, or people with pacemakers) I think that we walked up 7 or 8 flights, but the landings were so small it was hard to tell. When we got to the top, this sculpture was waiting for us: The view from the Arc was breathtaking: it was an overcast day so we were able to see everything in soft light and we were blessed with no rain. This is the view of the  Champs - Elysées , the main drag in downtown Paris where both tourists and locals alike come to shop and eat. The street
