Light playing on water drops, dust or ice crystals in the atmosphere produces a host of visualspectacles - rainbows, halos, glories, coronas and many more.    Find out where to see them and how they form.  Then seek and enjoy them outdoors

This site is all about snow crystals and snowflakes, and how these remarkably complex and beautiful structures appear, quite literally, out of thin air

The visual appeal of fluids in motion -beauty & physics. This site offers a look into waves, vortexes, aurora, shock waves, condensation, and supersonic cars.

Biology


This site goes into some detail on all the areas that parasites wind up, including the eye, the heart and muscles, the liver, the lung, and the blood. The illustrations are generally images of the parasite in various stages of development.
