Eclipses luminarium summa fide et accurata diligentia supputatae, ac figuris coloribusque suis artificiose depictae, quarum rationes ab anno domini 1554. usque in annum domini 1600. se extendunt et ad meridianum Viennae Austriae referuntur by Cyprian Leowitz.
As my Latin is seriously poor these days, I’ll use BibliOdyssey’s translation so as to not embarrass myself: Accurate coloured depictions of solar and lunar eclipses covering the years 1554 to 1600 with Vienna, Austria as the point of reference.
Peacay at BibliOdyssey: “The only information I can glean from the web suggests that Leowitz was a Bohemian astrologer and a contemporary of Nostradamus. Most (very very brief) citations mention that his notoriety centres on his having predicted that the world would end in 1584. I think that assertion was made in 1568 and a comment at one site opined that he was hedging his bets by publishing luna/solar data for the time subsequent to the predicted apocalypse (my first thought here is that the author is conflating two publications of Leowitz from different times.)”

In February 2009, the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art (OCCCA) and Mission Hospital will debut The Art of Imaging, a unique exhibit that explores medical imaging through contemporary art. Combining both worlds of science and art, the images used in the artwork are captured by the same imaging equipment that save lives every day.
Images from Mission Hospital’s advanced technology – including 3-and 4-D ultrasound, mammography, interventional and digital radiology, computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and conventional X-rays – serve as the basis of creation as OCCCA artists mold the images to their own artistic expression.

Okay, so this has been making the rounds for a while, but it never ceases to fascinate me: animals in the womb.
