The math behind the art: light hits a film a few hundred nanometers thick. Part reflects off the top, part off the bottom. The bottom ray travels an extra 2t (twice the thickness). Where that delay lines up a color's waves, it glows. Where it cancels, it vanishes. Each drop changes t, so the colors move. Made with python, no image model needed :)

Galileo. Thats the name.
Galileo's pupil Viviani wrote that the young Galileo, in Pisa Cathedral, noticed a chandelier's swings took the same time however wide they were, an observation that led to the pendulum clock.
A bored student timed a swinging cathedral lamp with his own pulse.

Our reactions to what we perceive (our perceptions) become our memories of them … the verb becomes a noun.

I'm pleased to reveal my 150 megapixel photo of the Lagoon nebula, captured with a 17' telescope over several weeks this past summer.
Presented here in 4k- Load the full image to see thousands of stars!
The fine art print is also now available here: cosmicbackground.io/pages/nu…

In this shimmering view captured by @NASAHubble, the complexities of the Twin Jet Nebula are seen in striking detail, with lobes of material stretching outward while jets of gas stream from a central star system.
ALT The shimmering colors visible in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image show off the remarkable complexity of the Twin Jet Nebula. Lobes of material, in teal, orange and blue hues, stretch outward like elongated orbs from a central star system that shines bright white. Streams of gas jet outward from the center. Stars are visible in the background, dotting the black of space in yellow and white. Credit: NASA/ESA/Judy Schmidt

Since my departure from the televised grand spectacle, I have been thoroughly engulfed in an absolute maelstrom of relentless activity. Our peregrinations have ferried us across a multitude of exotic, ultramontane realms, wherein we experienced the profound jubilation of reconvening with long-estranged compatriots. Concurrently, I have surrendered my intellect to the voracious consumption of dense, hermetic tomes, immersing myself in the labyrinthine intricacies of highly recondite and intellectually stimulating subject matters. In a plurality of dimensions, my current state of existential industriousness vastly eclipses any prior epoch of my life. It’s been really cool.
