Star Trails in Australia
Many photographers like to experiment with long exposure photography techniques, but an Australian Lincoln Harrison gives a new definition to the word “long”. The 37-year-old Victorian showcases a portfolio of mesmerizing long exposure star trail photography, with some of his photo shoots taking up to 15 hours. The photos are made at his personal favorite spot over Lake Eppalock, in the Australian outback.
The star swirls are the result of the rotation of the Earth, and makes you think you’re witnessing the stars traveling across the sky. “With no buildings for miles, the sky is so clear and it’s amazing to be able to capture the beauty of the night’s sky on camera,” says Lincoln.

Ancient Dentistry - A Tooth Extraction
The drawing shows us an expert, sitting behind the patient lying, extracting a tooth and helped by two assistants. The man on the left pokes fire with bellows, and the other on the right, holds fire with a grip near the “dentist”.
Charaf-ed-Din (1404-1468) left us his famous Chirurgie of Ilkhani, an ancient dental manuscript, written and illustrated by him in 1465. This Turkish manuscript of ancient dentistry is preserved at the BNF (National Library of France).
