Video I shot today of the Swedish royal ship Vasa, which sunk off Stockholm during its maiden voyage in 1628. It was salvaged in 1961 and was processed for years using water and preservative chemicals until it was given a new home at Stockholm's Vasa Museum. It's the best preserved 17th century ships in the world, and one of my all-time favorite museums.

Gigapan Photo of the Inauguration

[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 20:16:23 01/22/09
I was hoping to take a Gigapan panorama photo of the Inauguration but unfortunately my credentials weren't good enough to set up a tripod. Fortunately, photographer David Bergman had the right credentials, and took this extraordinary photo: The entire photo is nearly 1.5 gigapixels in size. Be sure to zoom in closer and closer to experience the full effect. Learn more about how David took it on his blog or check out the full screen version on the Gigapan website. Congratulations on getting the photo, David. I'd really hoped to do it myself so I'm glad at least one other Gigapanner got to do it. -andy

Watch the Video Yesterday, the NPR Science Desk hosted a "flavor-tripping party," in which you suck on a West African berry known as miraclefruit and see how it affects your tastebuds. For example, lemons tasted like the sweetest lemonade you've ever tasted, while horseradish was extraordinarily sweet. Watch and see how we react to different foods. Formats available : mp4 , mobile

Gigapan photo (360 megapixels, give or take) of my backyard, taken straight upwards, among some of the 20 trees on our property. Taken just before a storm came in and removed the vast majority of leaves that were still remaining on the trees. Zoom in by clicking on the picture and try to identify each tree by its leaves.

September 11 Memorial at the Newseum

[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 01:06:06 11/14/08
Here's a high-res panorama photo (250 megapixels) I took of the Newseum's 9-11 Memorial. Because the panorama is taken as a series of dozens of photos that later get stitched together, it causes an eerie effect, with people moving around within the photograph. Click the picture and zoom in - you can actually read the headlines on the newspapers in the background.
