🥗 Smithsonian contributions to knowledge Washington: Smithsonian Institution, 1848-1916. Original source Image description: Illustration of various freshwater algae species from the Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge publication (1848-1916). The image displays detailed, colored scientific drawings of algae filaments and cells, including Spirogyra majuscula, Spirogyra diluta, Spirogyra setiformis, Spirogyra crassa, Mesocarpus scalaris, Spirogyra insignis, Spirogyra parvispora, and Zygnema insignis. Each specimen shows distinctive cellular structures like spiral chloroplasts, large oval chloroplasts or spores, and segmented filaments. The algae are depicted in different colors—green, brown, and yellowish hues—highlighting cell contents and textures with precise, naturalistic detail for biological study purposes.

Seven Crows, 1980

A filament of dark matter between two clusters of galaxies Dark matter can only be sensed through its gravitational tug and only glimpsed when it warps the light of distant galaxies. Astronomers led by Jörg Dietrich, a physics research fellow in the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science and the Arts, took advantage of this effect by studying the gravitational lensing of galactic clusters Abell 222 and 223. By studying the light of tens of thousands of galaxies beyond the supercluster; located about 2.2 billion light-years from Earth, the scientists were able to plot the distortion caused by the Abell cluster. “It looks like there’s a bridge that shows that there is additional mass beyond what the clusters contain,” Dietrich said in a press release. “The clusters alone cannot explain this additional mass.” By examining X-rays emanating from plasma in the filament, observed from the XMM-Newton satellite, the team calculated that no more than nine percent of the filament’s mass could be made up of the hot gas. Computer simulations further suggested that just 10 percent of the mass was due to visible stars and galaxies. Only dark matter, says Dietrich, could make up the remaining mass.
