Of course running horses is so much better than, let's say Galileo's first drawings from a telescope of the moon.

Yeah, there was a severe lack of general chemistry knowledge there.

On a related note, I've used that pentacene picture more than a few time on talks about organic semiconductors

Terrific link missing of course only an image of Ron Jeremy's penis.

Nonetheless, a terrific link.

FTA: "Physicist Röntgen stumbled across a novel property of cathode rays, which is that they appeared to emit a light (electrons) that could be picked up by a photographic plate."

Uh, no.

FTA: "Physicist George Smoot won a Nobel Prize for his work on the CMB."

So that's what he worked on when he wasn't passing tariffs.

Not to say Galileo's drawings weren't awesome, but Muybridge's running horses (and running naked dudes) were a serious game changer for how we thought organisms moved.

The Hadrosaurus is almost in 3D if you cross your eyes right.

What if we crossed them wrong?

/seriously, they're not uncrossing. Someone call a doctor. Or a scientist. Call a scientist.

Actually, it is a 3D picture. You look at it with one of these bad boys:

He's also the unit of measurement for the Mass. Ave. bridge in Boston.
