And you thought your baby pictures were embarrassing.
Who would have thought that Vincent van Gogh, the Dutch painter most famous for his Starry Night, the Potato Eaters, and cutting off his ear because he was as bonkers as a box of wet badgers, would ever paint anything that is genuinely out of this world; say, an orange sun blazing in an alien sky:
Not me, because he didn't.
This is an award winning micrograph of in-vitro fertilization, showing the exact moment at which the sperm attempts to penetrate the egg's membrane. If succesful, fertilisation occurs.
The reasons why I happen to find this extraordinarily beautiful are twofold: 1) the fact that we are able to witness this is a technological feat of astounding proportions, and 2) when you're watching that image you are witnessing the birth of life, a genuine biological miracle, and you cannot escape the realisation that everything, from the universe itself to life in its smallest sense, starts off in a glorious blaze.
I'd love to have this on my wall on a 3 by 5 foot piece of printed canvas, if not for the fact that I'd then have to explain to people what it is and they would probably regard me as a pervert.
But still.
