beautiful picture! This makes it very clear that the inner disk seems brighter… is this #physics or a #visual #illusion ?

That right there looks like the cover image of a great long-lost Pink Floyd album, recorded circa 1974 and only recently rediscovered in the vault.

I saw one of these once in Scotland. Have never met anyone else who has seen one or seen a photo of one. So glad you have confirmed that I wasn't imagining it!

W O W !!!

WHAT'S Norway up to?

While it's thoughtful, fun, soul-satisfying, etc to think colloquially regarding this beautiful display, let's understand the science behind the optics & choose to see them in a whole new light.

I'm in a rut with my life in USA.
I don't think of Norway, or other places, usually at all (til something hits the media).

Why not choose this as a starting point to get interested in other people & their lifestyles/cultures?
