Top five NASA Landsat observation satellites images of Earth - 24 Jul 2012

3rd Place
Top five NASA Landsat Satellites Images of Earth
During a span of 40 years, since 1972, the Landsat series of Earth observation satellites has become a vital reference worldwide for understanding scientific issues related to land use and natural resources.
Beyond the scientific information they supply, some Landsat images are simply striking to look at, presenting spectacular views of mountains, valleys, and islands as well as forests, grasslands, and agricultural patterns.
By selecting certain features and colouring them from a digital palate, the U.S. Geological Survey has created a series of "Earth as Art" perspectives that demonstrate an artistic resonance in satellite land imagery and provide a special avenue of insight about the geography of each scene.
NASA asked the public to vote on their favourite images from the more than 120 images in the online "Earth as Art" collection. From over 14,000 votes the top five winners were:
1st Place: Van Gogh from Space Landsat 7 Acquired 7/13/2005. In the style of Van Gogh's painting "Starry Night," massive congregations of greenish phytoplankton swirl in the dark water around Gotland, a Swedish island in the Baltic Sea. Population explosions, or blooms, of phytoplankton, like the one shown here, occur when deep currents bring nutrients up to sunlit surface waters, fuelling the growth and reproduction of these tiny plants.
2nd Place: Yukon Delta Landsat 7 Acquired 9/22/2002. Countless lakes, sloughs, and ponds are scattered throughout this scene of the Yukon Delta in southwest Alaska. One of the largest river deltas in the world, and protected as part of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, the river's sinuous waterways seem like blood vessels branching out to enclose an organ.
3rd Place: Meandering Mississippi Landsat 7 Acquired 5/28/2003. ...

THE KING'S CROWN ¿ A model of Elvis Presley's teeth together with a crown made for the star by former Memphis dentist Henry J Weiss, up for auction on 25th February, Cheshire, Britain - 15 Feb 2012

Model of Elvis Presley's teeth with a crown made for the star by former Memphis dentist Henry J Weiss up for auction on 25th February. Est GBP 6-GBP 10k
The King's Crown: Elvis Presley's Teeth And Crown Up For Auction
A model of Elvis Presley's teeth together with a crown made for the star by his dentist is up for auction on February 25th.
The one of a kind rock and roll memorabilia is expected to sell for GBP 6,000 to GBP 10,000.
Former Memphis dentist, Henry J Weiss was Presley's dentist until 1971 and affectionately called the crown the "King's Crown."
The model and crown is accompanied by five letters of authenticity from the wife and sons of the dentist and Joe Esposito, Presley's road manager.
The model of the King's teeth is currently encased in a custom glass display.
Dr. Henry Weiss, whose offices were located in the 430 Dermon Building in downtown Memphis did all Elvis' dental work including the preparation of a porcelain crown for Elvis' front tooth.
Dr. Weiss always kept an extra crown on the model of Elvis Presley's teeth in the event that he might chip or crack his crown. In February of 1971, Elvis cracked his crown on a microphone while performing at the International Hotel, currently known as the Hilton Hotel - Las Vegas. Dr. Weiss' son, S. Lewis Weiss, flew a replacement crown to Las Vegas.
Paul Fairweather from Omega Auctions said: "Following on from Lennon's tooth back in November which sold for GBP 19,500, we were extremely excited on the consignment of this truly unique item from the King of Rock & Roll.
"Whilst it is not a real tooth, as was the case with the Lennon tooth, it is the only one in existence and we expect there to be considerable interest in this; we expect that it will sell for over GBP 10,000."
This is one of over 500 lots in the sale which includes ot...
