English: This view of the Iguazu Falls was captured from a helicopter in March of 2003. These falls are located on the Brazilian/Argentinian border in Iguazú National Park. The source of the Iguazu River is in the Santa Catarina province of southeastern Brazil. After flowing west-northwest for several hundred km, the Iguazu abruptly drops 80 m (260 ft), forming these picturesque waterfalls. Less than 50 km (30 miles) downstream, the Iguazu empties into the Paraná River. This photo shows the entire width of the Falls (approximately 3 km or 2 miles wide), the second widest waterfall in the world. Iguazu Falls, in Misiones (Argentina).

Original caption: “Photo # 80-G-701869 Bell Geddes diorama of Battle of Midway, 4 June 1942” English: Diorama by Norman Bel Geddes, depicting the attack by USS Enterprise (CV-6) and USS Yorktown (CV-5) dive bombers on the Japanese aircraft carriers Akagi, Kaga and Soryu in the morning of 4 June 1942. The diorama was created during World War II on the basis of information then available. It is therefore somewhat inaccurate in scope and detail. This angle of view depicts Soryu (attacked by Yorktown aircraft) in the middle distance, with Kaga and Akagi (both attacked by Enterprise aircraft) as the closer two burning ships.

English: This image shows pulsed gamma rays from the Vela pulsar as constructed from photons detected by Fermi's Large Area Telescope. The Vela pulsar, which spins 11 times a second, is the brightest persistent source of gamma rays in the sky. The bluer colour in the latter part of the pulse indicates the presence of gamma rays with energies exceeding a billion electron volts (1 GeV). For comparison, visible light has energies between two and three electron volts. Red indicates gamma rays with energies less than 300 million electron volts (MeV); green, gamma rays between 300 MeV and 1 GeV; and blue shows gamma rays greater than 1 GeV. The image frame is 30 degrees across. The background, which shows diffuse gamma-ray emission from the Milky Way, is about 15 times brighter here than it actually is.

Chrysocolla on Tyrolite and Clinotyrolite, San Simon Mine, Santa Rosa-Huantajaya District, Iquique Province, Chile. 4.0 x 2.6 x 2.6 cm. Click image for details of the mineral chemistry.
English: Chrysocolla, Tyrolite, Clinotyrolite Locality: San Simon Mine, Santa Rosa-Huantajaya District, Iquique Province, Tarapacá Region, Chile (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 4.0 x 2.6 x 2.6 cm. Ths specimen was presented to the academy by the famed Dr. Domeyko in the late 1800s, who did much work on the rare minerals of Chile and Argentina. Regardless of the chemistry, the specimen has merit as a display piece of beautiful copper combinations from Chile. This piece has beautiful, powder-blue chrysocolla forming as stalactitic growths and as a thin carpet in the few hollow vugs inside a literal boulder of nearly solid tyrolite. On analysis by modern equipment, the matrix material shows to be tyrolite, clinotyrolite, and possibly other related species admixed (XRAY and powder, Bart Cannon's lab, 2008). However, apparently the official mineralogy of tyrolite classification is confusing and has changed over time. Clinotyrolite is often considered a species by many people, though without IMA approval. I quote MINDAT's page on the matter verbatim to make sure I do not mistakenly convey the science: Since it is well-known that also carbonate-free varieties of tyrolite exist, "tyrolite" may actually represent two or more minerals/polytypes. At least two monoclinic polytypes of tyrolite are known (Krivovichev et al., 2006); one of them seems to be identical to "clinotyrolite". Note that this is the first report of the locality to MINDAT for tyrolite occurence, but it is likely that this rare species is present on other old specimens of "chrysocolla" from Chile. Ex. Academy of Natural Sciences Philadelphia Collection.
