Photo on Right and Below: ©2011 Katya Horner
Okay, folks, this is a short blog post, but I simply had to share. I was happily processing my ice photos last night when I was hit with a funny feeling, a feeling of déjà vu...all over again. (Sorry, I truly can't help myself.) I knew I had seen an image similar to my photo on the right, but, for the life of me, I couldn't remember the "what" and "where" behind the photographic doppleganger. Thankfully, I'm a woman of the 2000's, so I just dialed up my internet and, after just a few minutes of searching , I found it! It's a "black hole-powered jet of electrons and sub-atomic particles streams from center of galaxy." Of course it is. Just what I was thinking.
I might have added some effects to my photo -- the light, the orange and the sprinkling of stars - but otherwise, the ice formation was left "as is." An ice formation, by the way, that clearly knows what it wants to be when it grows up -- an astronomical phenomenon. You can see the unadulterated ice photo below.
By the way, the photos at Hubblesite.org are simply mind-blowing. We are so small, you and I.

That's quite an interesting serendipity of photographic elements there. Love it.
That is the coolest!!
Wonderful Katya! The scale of the universe in two photos, from small too big.
Thanks, everyone! This was one of those quirky, cool, serendipitous photo events, both for the photo captured and for the fact that I knew that they other photo existed somewhere. :)
