Looks like something out of Alien...

Why yes, I do think Euler diagrams are cool. Explaining all the intrinsic workings of "Europe".

 

[Danoff]

That looks... efficient.

 

[Liquid]

The current situation(s) in Europe clearly reflect this.

Caribou floating down the Yukon River

I hope they got off sometime.... Even if it was to be a meal...

 

[Dragonwhisky]

They can swim in that.

 

[Ken]

Thought these were amazing.

 

[Barra333]

I believe there is a small algal bloom in the second picture. Dont swim there.

I don't see Marilyn even stepping back to the point where my monitor is a small speck on the horizon... What's up with that?

Then you probably have better than 20/20 vision like I used to have. When I was 20 or so I was tested to have had 15/15 approximately. Eagles are said to have about 7/7. It's all in the shape of the eyeball and lens shape, plus the eye's elasticity when young. As we age, the eye and lens begin to lose that elasticity, making focusing a bit more difficult.
So it's a good thing that you can only see Einstein. You do see Einstein in the photo right and not someone else?

Well, it's either Einstein or Lech Walesa.

I'm 38yo, so my vision isn't that good anymore. Especially at far, since close up I see exceptionally well. Maybe I'm just a freak.

 

[TheCracker]

I sit in a corner of the room so can't physically move far enough back to see Marilyn. If i squint almost to the point of shutting my eyes i can just about make her out.

 

[Danoff]

I had to defocus my eyes to see Monroe, as if you're looking at one of those magic eye images.

 

[Liquid]

Here is the photograph in practice.

 

[grrlpurple]

Glasses off... left eye only, Einstein. Right eye only, Monroe. Both eyes, some weird pig nosed creature from hell.

Hmmm...

High powered drifting!

Real racing cars, real racing drivers.

 

[axletramp]

Is that the exit of Druids at Brands Hatch?

 

[Bo]

Eyes crossed - Monroe

I got Monroe with a beard with eyes crossed

I had to stand about a good 10 feet away and squint to start to see her though.

Is that the exit of Druids at Brands Hatch?

Yes it is. I think.

Pretty sure that's not how it works. 20/20 vision means that at 20ft you see the same as a "normal" person at 20ft. 15/15 means that at 15ft, you see the same as a "normal" person at 15ft, so they are pretty much the same thing.

If you meant 20/15, that would indicate that you see as clearly at 20ft as a "normal" person would at 15ft, meaning your eyes are better. An Eagle having 20/7 vision sounds about right, so that's probably what you meant

Aerial photography can REALLY play with your mind!

 

[GregTheStig]

Nice. Did someone say aerial photography?

NASA's new camera on the ISS.

Kalinin Prospekt, Moscow, USSR. 1977. Buildings of the Ministry of Economics.

Trying to kill Godzilla in 1962.

Plane.
