RMDYEAHE–Portrait of a Venetian Family with a Manservant Serving Coffee by Pietro longhi (1702-1785) oil on canvas, c1752. In his paintings, Longhi usually poked gentle fun at the everyday activities of the Venetian elite. This is not, however the case here. It is simply a portrait of a family drinking coffee, with the lady of the house taking centre stage. The conspicuous inclusion of the servant is noteworthy. He must have been a valued member of the household.
RMD98MFY–This prominent circular feature, known as the Richat Structure, in the Sahara desert of Mauritania is often noted by astronauts because it forms a conspicuous 50-kilometer-wide (30-mile-wide) bull's-eye on the otherwise rather featureless expanse of the desert. Initially mistaken for a possible impact crater, it is now known to be an eroded circular anticline (structural dome) of layered sedimentary rocks. This view was generated from a Landsat satellite image draped over an elevation model produced by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). taken in 2000.
