Huli Wigman Papua New Guinea
Huli Wigman Papua New Guinea, a nice test pattern!
You can see on his hat, made with his own hair, that he has mixed some animal fur, feathers, and plastic things, as warriors of the Highlands love to use modern things in their traditional clothes.

Planets Ahoy!
Explanation: Can you spot the Solar System’s four rocky planets? In the above image taken on September 20, all of them were visible in a single glance, but some of them may be different than you think. Pictured above, the brightest and highest object in the sky is the planet Venus. The object lowest in the sky is the planet Mars, while the object furthest to the left is the planet Mercury. The last remaining point of light is . . . the bright star Spica, which leaves the question — where is the fourth rocky planet? That would be Earth, specifically part of Australia, visible across the entire bottom of the image.

17th century Central Tibeten thanka of Guhyasamaja Akshobhyavajra
A 17th century Central Tibetan thangka (painted or embroidered banner) of Guhyasamaja Akshobhyavajra, from the GuhyasamÄÂja tantra, a tantra whose practice is important to many schools of Tibetan Buddhism. The Guhyasamaja (“Secret Assembly”) tantra was developed at an early date in history to aid the Buddhist practitioner in understanding and practicing Tantric Buddhism to attain enlightenment. These are the basic texts of the Tantricâ€â€an esoteric and highly symbolicâ€â€form of Buddhism, which developed in India and became dominant in Tibet.

Palin Jokes About Biden’s Age
No, really. She did. Has she looked at her running mate?
Palin: And I do look forward to Thursday night and debating Sen. Joe Biden. We’re gonna talk about those new ideas, new energy for America. I’m looking forward to meeting him too. I’ve never met him before, but I’ve been hearing about his Senate speeches since I was in like second grade.
Let’s see, Joe Biden was born on November 20, 1942 and was elected into the Senate in 1972. John McCain was born on August 29, 1936, so if she wasâ€â€oh, never mind…
Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom
Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom
…a painting by Ilya Repin depicting Sadko, a Russian folk hero of a bylina of the same name. A merchant and gusli musician from Novgorod, he is transported to the realm of the Sea King. There, he is to provide music to accompany the dance at the marriage of the King’s daughter (scene depicted here). The dancing grows so frenzied that the surface of the sea billows and surges, threatening to founder the ships on it. To calm the sea, Sadko smashes his gusli. The storm dissipates and he reappears on the shore. The story inspired both an opera and musical tableau.

Neuschwanstein Castle…
…is a 19th-century Bavarian palace on a rugged hill near Hohenschwangau and Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as a homage to Richard Wagner, the King’s inspiring muse. Although public photography of the interior is not permitted,[1] it is the most photographed building in Germany[2] and is one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations.

A True Image from False Kiva
Explanation: Is there any place in the world you could see a real sight like this? Yes. Pictured above is single exposure image spectacular near, far, and in between. Diving into the Earth far in the distance is part of the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy, taken with a long duration exposure. Much closer, the planet Jupiter is visible as the bright point just to band’s left. Closer still are picturesque buttes and mesas of the Canyonlands National Park in Utah, USA, lit by a crescent moon. In the foreground is a cave housing a stone circle of unknown origin named False Kiva. The cave was briefly lit by flashlight during the long exposure. Astrophotographer Wally Pacholka reports that getting to the cave to take this image was no easy trek. Also, mountain lions were a concern while waiting alone in the dark for just the right exposure.
