The Best Science Photographs of 2005

Hogwash McFly writes "This year's Visions Of Science Photographic Awards have honored several amazing snapshots in the realm of science photography. Photographs were each judged in one of ten categories, and winning images range from a sinister cancer cell to the use of eggs to illustrate panspermia. The full list of winners and runners up is featured on the official website, and there are larger versions of the winners over at the Beeb and at National Geographic."

Simpsons 1F17 [Diorama-rama Day]:

Skinner: ... Let's have a look.
                  [quietly to Miss Hoover] Get the ribbon ready.
                    [pulls sheet off]
                  Oh...a little...sterile...no _real_ insight. What do you
                  think, Miss Hoover?
  Hoover: Ehh.
Skinner: Ooh, now we're into the dregs. Here's Ralph Wiggum's entry.
                    [pulls sheet off]
                  Pre-packaged "Star Wars" characters, still in their display
                  box? Are those the limited-edition action figures?
    Ralph: What's a diorama?
Skinner: Why it's Luke, and Obi-Wan, and my favorite, Chewie! They're
                  all here! [to Miss Hoover] What do you think?
  Hoover: [bored] I think it's lunch time.
Skinner: We have a winner!

What!?
