Thank you for these.

Seeing this stuff makes me realize how much I was cheated out of science in high school. If I had been exposed to doing work like this, I might have persevered through my limited aptitude in math and made a go of producing work that could capture this kind of beauty. Science and art have never been separate - I know that now - and the aesthetic experience of scientific inquiry and discovery is breathtaking.
