"Malope trifida 'Vulcan', or Annual Mallow, is a glabrous, annual, herb native to Spain and North Africa. 'Vulcan' is a tetraploid hybrid of the original species. Plants will reach up to 3 feet (0.9 m) tall with a spread of about 20 inches (50 cm) wide. Leaves are rounded, dentate, unlobed or acutely 3 lobed. These are great plants for containers and for use in the landscape. In the landscape, they will reseed themselves in the fall in zone 7. They are very easy plants to grow."

"Gippsland is a large rural region in Victoria, Australia. The place is well known with its mystery of blue glowing water that appears during the night. However, just recently, the mystery has been solved. Lake Gippsland (actually a network of lakes) teems with microorganisms that produce a ghostly blue glow thanks to their natural luminescence. This makes this body of water a beautiful and unique tourist attraction at night."

"This sea worm, a polychaete, is one of the few creatures that make yellow light. If disturbed, it can let loose glowing sparks from foot-like appendages called parapodia. In this picture you can also see its eggs, which will soon be released into the water."

"In visible light, the North American nebula resembles its namesake continent. But looking at it in the infrared spectrum, a whole new perspective explodes into view. Clouds of dust and gas come to life, as light from massive young star heats and shape the clouds, and dramatic clusters of baby stars which can only be seen in infrared burst into view"
