Baby, babe, let's get together
Honey, hon, me and you
And do the things, awww do the things
That we like to do

Do a little dance, make a little love,
Get down tonight
Get down tonight

What bursts forth from an exploding star is a tremendous amount of matter, hot gasses, and radiation including X-rays, gamma rays, cosmic rays and possibly teardrop-shaped lightbulbs. This interstellar beauty brightens the stairwell right above your head at West Art in Lancaster, PA.

Charles Paget Wade was enchanted as a child. For a period of time he lived with his Granny Spencer who had a mysterious black lacquered cabinet stuffed full of objects. Every Sunday she let him open this cabinet of curiosities with a magic key and explore its treasures. Charles grew up to become an architect, artist, poet and (thanks to Granny) an eccentric collector who eventually had gathered over 22,000 eclectic objects by the time he died in 1956. What would you do with such a collection?

We know more about the surface of Mars than we do of the ocean floor. Designed by engineer Otis Barton and zoologist William Beebe, the Bathysphere broke records in early deep-sea exploration. Locked within the cramped interior, Otis and William made their first dives in the Bathysphere in 1930 to study deep-sea organisms. The pair continued to dive, reaching a record depth of 3,028 feet (923 meters) in 1934. For nearly a century, National Geographic Explorers have dedicated their lives to studying the ocean. Below the waves, new technology pushes Explorers further into the unknown.

Ladies and Gentlemen, and children of all ages, step right up! This circus has a lot to see! All the materials were repurposed and cannibalized from different places. Vintage English leather saddle. Porcelain sphere was snatched off a big outdoor water fountain. Urethane under seat bushing is a skateboard wheel. Steel and delrin were leftover prototype parts. The maple base was re-machined from an older furniture blank.

This is North America's oldest Surgical Amphitheatre at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia. Used from 1804 to 1868, operations were scheduled between 11am and 2pm to take advantage of the skylight above. The space helped launch American clinical teaching by bringing patients directly before medical students, following Dr. Thomas Bond's bedside-teaching model. Students bought tickets to observe leading surgeons, and townspeople learned of procedures through posted broadsides. The Amphitheatre marked the formal rise of surgery as its own discipline.

Snow alights as dark sea grows
Then far below lies softly glowing
Snow turns slowly into water

I know deep down hidden in you
submarine bells chime
Gold and groaning, sunlit toning,
submerged sound sublime

So the colder, deeper tolling
Reaches dissolution
You wish a vicious whirlpool
go swirling round and round

I can watch in wonder
as your gaze shifts past my shoulder
Just a glimpsed abyss that flashes at me

I brought the ball to you. So... throw it already!
