The first six minutes opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark is arguably the best of any movie. I remember way back when a few university friends decided to go watch the movie but one of them dismissed it as probably a boring movie. We dragged him along and he was at the edge of his seat from the opening scene till the end of the movie. The very next day, he went to see it again!

The nebula’s vast clouds of gas resemble outstretched wings, and hence the “snow angel” reference.

So what would you use to capture an image of a photon — or light? We see objects that reflect light, but what does light itself look like?
MIT researchers have used a special camera called a streak camera that operates at a whooping trillion frames per second to visualize light. Aside from that, we don’t understand zilch.
