Bizarre Beasts: *The Only Octopus With a Shell*

"The #octopus is a pretty odd animal under even the most ordinary circumstances – or ordinary by octopus standards, at least. So when folks start calling out one type of octopus as the strangest, there’s probably something special about it. And the #argonaut, also known as the paper nautilus, lives up to the hype."

"Pflastersteine vom und für den Mond

In den nächsten Jahrzehnten könnten erstmals Menschen auf dem Mond leben. Am günstigsten wäre der Bau einer Mondstation, wenn die Materialien direkt vom Mond stammen. Unter Beteiligung von Wiener Fachleuten wurde nun gezeigt, dass man mit einem Laser aus Mondstaub so etwas wie Pflastersteine herstellen kann. "

Started some #metamorphogram (cyanotype mixed with origami) images.

Folded from archival tissue paper, which results in poor origami, but the image will be what I need.
