Sumerian Star Chart 
Sky Map of Ancient Nineveh 3300 BC
A reproduction of a Sumerian star map or “planisphere” recovered from the 650BC underground library of Ashurbanipal in Nineveh, Iraq in the late 19th century. Long thought to be an Assyrian tablet, computer analysis has matched it with the sky above Mesopotamia in 3300BC and proves it to be of much more ancient Sumerian origin. The tablet is an “Astrolabe”, the earliest known astronomical instrument. It usually consisted of a segmented, disc shaped star chart with marked units of angle measure inscribed upon the rim. Unfortunately considerable parts of the planisphere are missing ( approx 40%), damage which dates to the sacking of Nineveh. The reverse of the tablet is not inscribed. Still under study by modern scholars, the planisphere provides extraordinary proof of the existence of Sumerian astronomy…and a very sophisticated astronomy at that.

CHURCH OF SMALL SAINTS   An electron microscope photograph shows a scale model of Vienna’s St. Stephen’s Cathedral created by a newly developed 3D printing technique for nano structures.  Researchers from the Vienna University of Technology have set a new world speed record for creating objects about the size of grains of sand. Making complex large 3D structures in the past would take hours or even days but with the newly developed 3D laser printer, the scientists can speed that up by a factor of up to 1,000 times.  The process, called “two-photon lithography,” involves using a focused laser beam to harden liquid resin in order to create micro objects of solid polymer.  (Photo: Vienna University of Technology / Reuters via MSNBC.com)
