Supermoon – Biggest Full Moon of 2012 Occurs This Weekend…

Posted on May 5, 2012 by Filipino Festival

The biggest full moon of the year, a so-called “supermoon,” will take center stage when it rises this weekend, and may interfere with the peak of an annual meteor shower created by the leftovers from Halley’s comet.

The supermoon of 2012 is the biggest full moon of the yearand will occur on Saturday (May 5) at 11:35 p.m. EDT (0335 May 6), though the moon may still appear full to skywatchers on the day before and after the actual event. At the same time, the annual Eta Aquarid meteor shower will be hitting its peak, NASA scientists say.

“Its light will wash out the fainter Eta Aquarid meteors,” NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke of the Marshall Space Flight Center told SPACE.com in an email. Still, Cooke said there’s a chance that the brightest fireballs from the meteor display may still be visible.

Embodiment and Anatomical Neon – Neon Glass Bodies…

Posted on May 3, 2012 by Filipino Festival

I’m fascinated by sculptural representation of the human body, and I’m also pretty distracted by glowing neon lights. There are actually two amazing sculptors combining these interests into awesome neon glass bodies: Jessica Lloyd-Jones and Eric Franklin. Both these anatomical wizards create their sculptures by hand, blowing borosilicate glass and filling it with inert neon and xenon gases. Franklin has created a full skeleton called Embodiment, and LLoyd-Jones has an entire bevy of organs in her Anatomical Neon series to fill it out. Check after the jump for a full set of incredible photos.
