The Beauty of Moths is Captured Under a High Resolution Scanner by Jim des Rivieres
Since 2002 photographer Jim des Rivieres. has worked with a series of images of moths and butterflies local to the Ottawa area, photographed with a high-resolution flatbed camera.
Impressively real, the artist’s prints have a 3D quality, which demand attention. The texture and every fine detail of the insects is seen under the black background. Its delicate antennas, bodies and perfectly symmetrical wings are exposed for inspection. Featuring moths such as the Luna Moth and the Virgin Tiger moth among many others, he captures the obscure beauty of one of nature’s most dainty and ephemeral creatures.
Rarely seen by the average person in such detail, Des Rivieres gives us access to their sublime beauty. You can find the high-resolution photographs in his Etsy shop.

Most Powerful Supernova Ever Found?
Astronomers at the Ohio State University have detected an over-200-times more luminous than normal supernova.
To give you somewhat of a place to start imagining how bright and powerful this is… imagine staring at the Sun (do not ACTUALLY DO THIS! JUST IMAGINE).
Well this explosion is roughly 570,000,000,000 more bright than the Sun.
The exploding star may have been anywhere from 50 to 100 times more massive than the Sun.
Let’s put it this way: If this explosion were the same distance from Earth as the current title-holder for “brightest star in the sky”, Sirius…
… it would be as bright as the Sun.
