The New Periodic Table With How The Elements Are Used.

The periodic table is the most iconic scientific visualization in the world, but its bare details and numbers are not illustrative of the usefulness of the depicted elements. Now, Seattle-based designer Keith Enevoldsen has come up with a graphical-friendly table that puts the elements in the context of their everyday uses, especially for the more common elements. For example, there is strontium for fireworks, or xenon for high-intensity lamps inside lighthouses, or thulium for laser eye surgery, or krypton for flashlights, or americium for smoke detectors, and cerium for lighter flints. However, a few elements such as protactinium and berkelium have no current uses. Similarly, the short-lived, man-made elements starting with einsteinium have no uses at the moment either.

Arp 188 and the Tadpole's Tail.
Image Credit: Hubble Legacy Archive, ESA, NASA; Processing: Faus Márquez (AAE). Distant galaxies form a dramatic backdrop for this disrupted spiral galaxy Arp 188, the Tadpole Galaxy. It is 420 million light-years distant toward the northern constellation of the Dragon (Draco), with its eye-catching tail of about 280 thousand light-years long, featuring massive, bright blue star clusters. It is theorised that a more compact intruder galaxy crossed in front of Arp 188 - from right to left in this view - and was slung around behind the Tadpole by their gravitational attraction, with tidal forces drawing out the spiral galaxy's stars, gas, and dust forming the spectacular tail. The intruder galaxy, 300,000 light-years behind the Tadpole, is seen through foreground spiral arms at the upper right.

Sunflowers (Tournesols) is the name of two series of still life paintings by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. The first series, executed in Paris in 1887, depicts the flowers lying on the ground, while the second set, executed a year later in Arles, shows a bouquet of sunflowers in a vase. In the artist's mind, both sets were linked by the name of his friend Paul Gauguin, who acquired two of the Paris versions. On March 30, 1987, Japanese insurance magnate, Yasuo Goto, paid the equivalent of US $39,921,750 for van Gogh's Still Life: Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers at auction at Christie's London. The painting currently resides at Seiji Togo Yasuda Memorial Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo.
