"Step One: Don’t talk about race. Don’t point out skin color. Be “color blind.” Step Two: Actually, that’s it. There is no Step Two. Congratulations! Your children are well on their way to believing that <insert your ethnicity here> is better than everybody else." - Keith Pelczarski

"Today Marc Buie, a devoted Plutophile at the Southwest Research Institute, unveiled maps of Pluto's surface that he derived from Hubble Space Telescope images taken over a 13-month stretch in 2002 and 2003. When compared to a comparable set of Hubble snapshots from 1994, it's clear that the icy surface of this distant world has gone through some big changes. Four years of processing by 20 computers have turned a set of Hubble Space Telescope images of Pluto, each only a few pixels wide, into this map of its complex surface. Numbers show the longitude of the central meridian. Click on the animation to see three enlarged frames with a scale bar and coordinate grids. NASA / ESA / Mark Buie The new views reveal a surface with three distinct coatings: nearly white areas that are likely a mixture of methane and nitrogen frosts, and terrains that look dark orange and charcoal black, which probably contain complex organic compounds created by constant exposure to radiation." - Keith Pelczarski

"When most people go to a landmark or tourist attraction, they take home a little souvenir to remind them of their trip. Then there's Michael Hughes. He loves to take pictures of world famous landmarks - perfectly blended with cheap souvenirs. Born in Britain and now living in Germany, 56-year-old Michael Hughes is a freelance photographer. Hughes started this hobby back in 1998 and has accumulated a rich collection of over 100 fun images using this blending technique in 200 countries he visited." - Keith Pelczarski
