The American mystery deepens.
Some of you may remember a series of photos I posted a while back of one woman as she aged over course of 50 years or so that I titled The Way Of All Flesh. I got the photos about 6 months ago so imagine my surprise today when I came across this photo at a completely different flea market (and from a different dealer as well).

ICA Boston
The recently built Institute of Contemporary Art on the South Boston waterfront. Former Seattleite Jill Medvedow, who was the original director at 911 Media Arts, has been with ICA for several years. She convinced the trustees that ICA needed a new building and this is what they came up with. A great addition to the Boston cityscape and celebrating their first anniversary soon... More pictures here.

An X Class Flare Region on the Sun
This close up of an active region on the Sun that produced a powerful X-class flare was captured by the orbiting TRACE satellite. Clicking on the image should bring up a movie that shows the evolution of Active Region 9906 over about four hours.

The Voyager
Launched thirty years ago, NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are now respectively 15 billion and 12.5 billion kilometers from the Sun, equivalent to about 14 and 11.5 light-hours distant. Still functioning, the Voyagers are being tracked and commanded through the Deep Space Network. Having traveled beyond the outer planets, they are only the third and fourth spacecraft from planet Earth to escape toward interstellar space, following in the footsteps of Pioneer 10 and 11. A 12-inch gold plated copper disk (a phonograph record) containing recorded sounds and images representing human cultures and life on Earth, is affixed to each Voyager - a message in a bottle cast into the cosmic sea. The recorded material was selected by a committee chaired by astronomer Carl Sagan. Simple diagrams on the cover symbolically represent the spacecraft's origin and give instructions for playing the disk. The exotic construction of the disks should provide them with a long lifetime as they coast through interstellar space.
