General Science / Science Photo of the Week

« on: 16/05/2004 07:03:10 »

In view of the success of Question of The Week (QOTW), I thought we should have a scientific image of the week.

Please keep these scientifically relevant. Each image should be accompanied by a few lines of description, and a reference / acknowledgement of the source if it is not yourself.

Please do not converse about the photos in this forum, it's intended as an image library. Instead start a separate thread to discuss them.

I reserve the right to remove inappropriate images or comments.
