Even the most insidious disease can breed a kind of beauty. Over the course of five years, artist William Utermohlen chronicled his decline via the only medium he knew how.
The first self-portrait Utermohlen drew after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

Utermohlen seems to mourn his sense of self, a shadow of his former life.

Two years later, Utermohlen draws his world as shrinking. He peers out as if trapped behind prison bars.

With limited motor control it becomes difficult for Utermohlen to paint.

Futurama never hesitates to kill a character to pluck viewers emotions. But maybe death isn't so bad compared to these guys.
As an alien Quantum Lichen, Cobb must keep a bag over his head at all times, lest humans look upon him and have their life force drained. A blind, lonely life.

That globe of hot plasma could swallow the Earth whole. No big deal.

Yesterday NASA released an awe-inspiring time lapse of the sun from July 2012.
On the 19th of July a solar flare burst from the surface of the sun. Instead of dispersing, the hot plasma became trapped in the magnetic field emanating from the region of the eruption. Normally invisible to the naked eye, the lines of the magnetic field lit up as it captured the flare and forced it back down to the solar surface in a dazzling phenomenon known as a coronal rain.
The time lapse video is approximately one frame every 12 seconds, which is presented at 30 FPS making each second the equivalent of six minutes.
Art history just took a turn for the bizarre. Artist Hillary White excels at turning classic art on its head.

Created by Baroque painter Domenico Zampieri, "A Virgin with a Unicorn" is a fresco that still resides in the Farnese Palace in Italy. Some art historians attribute the work to Annibale Carracci, Domenico's teacher, claiming the latter plagiarized his teacher's work.

Officially titled "Arrangement in Grey and Black No.1," "Whistler's Mother" was completed in 1871 by American painter James McNeill Whistler. Victorians had specific sensibilities about what constituted a proper portrait. Whistler's muted color palette and seated subject were not up to snuff, hence the clunky moniker in order to get it shown to the public.

The new Spidey-Suit slightly alters the shape of the eye, making it both larger and rounder. The spider logo on the front is more prominent and appears to be raised as opposed to flush with the suit. The web lines are darker on the new suit and the pattern as been tweaked a bit from circles to a brick shape.
Congratulations, it's a…miracle? Even in the best circumstances, ultrasounds resemble a trippy Rorschach test.
