jBlight , in "Hallow," a sculpture by Daniel Popper

This is absolutely amazing. Lucky draw for him to get the wood perfectly on the face too or did he plan that? Either way, it’s amazing haha

I’ve never seen it in person, but I think it’s probably not real wood.

dmention7 ,

I don’t remember if I saw this one in person or not, but the Morton rotates through large, nature-inspired sculptures like this every few years. And you’re right, a lot of them will include natural materials but they are generally metal or concrete shells over a metal frame.

Here’s their current installation: mortonarb.org/explore/activities/…/of-the-earth/

If you allow some language imperfections as the author’s first language most likely isn’t English, the RC boat can also be considered a “remote operated vehicle” 😉

That was an interesting read and a not too deep rabbit hole to go down. Thanks!

Nomad ,

Interesting as Tug

And people still think we’re the only intelligent life in the universe.

Where’s the grape surgery?

Seems like a really slow way to make corn.

ArmoredThirteen , in Microsurgery Assistance Robot Stitching a Corn Kernel

In about three weeks I get to have a handful of little robot arms similar to these all up in my business! I’m honestly kinda excited I love robots and these ones are really nifty

Tylerdurdon , in Microsurgery Assistance Robot Stitching a Corn Kernel

Oh thank goodness! Now we have a way to save all the corn! That’s a huge problem to address!

Catoblepas ,

I agree, we should leap straight to using it on humans without allowing doctors to practice on inanimate objects to familiarize themselves with it. You can go first!

Tylerdurdon ,

Sweet! My cornhole could use attention!

Ultraviolet , in Microsurgery Assistance Robot Stitching a Corn Kernel

I wouldn’t trust Sony to have kernel access.

No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston , in Microsurgery Assistance Robot Stitching a Corn Kernel

They did surgery on a corn kernel

SatansMaggotyCumFart , in Microsurgery Assistance Robot Stitching a Corn Kernel

Poor kernel.

How did it get hurt?

I think I need glasses.

odd that it can pick up light from the universe’s placenta but can’t get a good shot of that kid down the street

rappo ,

remember that JWST doesn’t do visible spectrum and, regardless, it’s specialized for faint distant objects. From JWST’s perspective, Titan emits a lot of light. It’s kind of like using a telephoto lens to take a picture of your foot.

People in general don’t understand focal length and spectrums. It’s just oooh 400x zoom, fancy, let’s see atoms.

Almost looks like earth but with more land than water.

In infrared. Titan basically looks like a brownish grey blob to the naked eye due to its incredibly dense atmosphere.

@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Knowing it’s just color shifted makes me wonder if that white band in the upper right that looks like a reflection off the atmosphere is actually a reflection off the atmosphere. And also what method of color shifting was used. Are the colors representative of anything or did they just pick what made for the best photo?

zaphod ,
@zaphod@lemmy.ca avatar

They basically remap wavelengths, so yes, absolutely those would be representative of real features, either in the atmosphere or on the ground.

That said, absolutely, sometimes there’s a bit of artistic license in how the wavelengths are mapped.

Edit: the space.com article on the image describes some of the physical features depicted:

Yooooo! It’s beautiful!!! 😍
