Those Eyes.
Why are their eyes like that?
I've always wondered.
Its so beautiful but so haunting. I have a friend who has similar eyes and it haunts me yet I'm so fascinated.
I would venture a large part of it is either a racial predisposition to very heavy eyelashes or a cultural predisposition to eyeshadow. Both of them have very heavy, dark eyelids that frames their eyes and makes them look very dramatic.
I would guess that the infant is either photoshoped, the light is obscuring his pupils, or he has some kind of eye condition. It looks like he barely has any pupils at all.

Eyes dilate in the sunlight. They're in bright sunlight.

well, for me it's because they have central heterochromia and in this case the thin dark outer ring of the iris frames a second, lighter color which makes it an eyecatcher (haha) due to the high contrast.
In addition, imo it always looks interesting if you have a darker skin tone than your eye color (because it's somewhat rare).

Umm, actually the exact opposite happens. They're eyes are just a spectacular color which I suppose has more vibrance in the sun, but either way their eyes still look that amazing no matter the environment..

Not that these kids don't have stunning eyes, but there has to be at least a dark eye liner on both. It just's completely impossible to have a thick layer of dark dark blue on the tip of your eye lids.
I guess cultural maquillage combined with beautiful eyes cause a picture like this.

Probably some Khol:

It is believed to protect the eyes from the sun.

The International Space Station (top left) flies past the moon, as seen from Houston, Texas, on January 4, 2012. The station was flying in an orbit at 390 km (242 miles) with six astronauts aboard.

Science GAF.............explain that shit.
Not nesecarilly, especially when it's the explosion of a star. This was taken over the span of months, with the changes happening rapidly indicating a level of incredible acceleration, which you can see in the gas effect.
This is what it looks like now (more or less), which makes you really appreciate that we were able to glimpse such a site before it all expanded away into a 'regular' gassy nebula type view;
[edit] Damn, hate being at the bottom of the page. :lol

Its a light echo. Even though the images were from a span of several months that material is NOT moving out, its light from an outburst illuminating the different material shells that have been thrown from the star at some other point in time.
Ha, reminds me of Homeworld.
While we wait for actual Science GAF to show up, I can fill in some blanks and say that it is a regular recyclable coffee cup with a blue material applied to it. The material reacts to heat and expands. The theory is they would apply a logo on a cup and when you pour coffee into it, the logo shows up. Also it doesn't transfer heat that well so if you can hold a hot cup in your hand. As you can see, it is very... unreliable and uneven in how it expands so if I am correct, it is still in early testing phases. I saw all of this on a video once.

Is it possible to make this 850 x 315 (Facebook cover picture dimensions) without fucking it up? Anyone willing to do it for me? *bats masculine eye lashes*

This story is amazing.
I won't post the picture in case it qualifies as gore, but essentially it's a before and after shot of a guy who had a full face transplant yesterday in Maryland.
The difference is staggering. The "before" shots are after it has well healed btw, so no worries about NSFL mental images.

that enterprise table is righteously nerdy.
So we're seeing a burst of light take months to radiate outward over a huge distance, illuminating the ancient layers of debris.
That is very amazing.
I give you the real "blade runner":
