Moses Harris’s 1766 chart, one of 100 diagrams that changed the world, was the first full-color circle. The 18 colors of his wheel were derived from what he then called the three ‘primitive’ colors: red, yellow and blue. At the center of the wheel, Harris showed that black is formed by the superimposition of these colors.

Always nice to see one of my old photos getting some Tumblr love!

From My Travels #58: Mount St Helens
The still-active crater lies a mere 5.5 miles from the Johnston Ridge Observatory. The massive landslide after the 1980 eruption took just 43 seconds to cover that distance.

Last Day!
Just a reminder - today is the absolute last day to order my Interstates as Subway Map or U.S. Routes as Subway Map posters. I’ll fulfill any orders made up until midnight U.S. Pacific time tonight, and then that’s it… at least for the foreseeable future.

The Pier at North Topsail Beach, North Carolina
These shots use a 6x neutral density filter to extend the exposure time out to between 15 and 30 seconds. The result is silky smooth water contrasted against the solidity of the piers. Gorgeous evening sun helps a lot too. Prints of these photos are available at my Society6 store.
All 135 Space Shuttle Launches at Once
‘Grand Finale‘ by McLean Fahnestock juxtaposes all 135 space shuttle launches by NASA. This is way better than the similar video of simultaneous episodes of ‘The Simpsons’ or ‘Star Trek.’ Actually, it’s much better because the sounds of the space shuttle launches are similar enough, unlike the television shows.
Keep an eye out for the tribute to Challenger. [via highdefinite]
Thanks for the submission and brilliant job!

The Great Denver Thunderstorm of 2012.
Taken while cowering in my hotel room at the unbridled force of nature. This storm had it all: golf-ball sized hail, lightning strikes every two to three minutes for hours on end, tornado warnings… yikes!
The first shot is the only photo that came out okay; the rest are all still frames from some video I shot.
