I’m using restraint for a change

The above picture shows:

• Pomegranate seeds
• Groovy new countertop material from Dupont
• Dead-cow-eating pig barf
  

For once, I’m not going to go there. The picture shows the graininess of the surface of:

• Ultra-magnified liver cells
• Close-up of a 44¢ postage stamp featuring Bart Simpson
  
• Paint on a rusty old fire truck
  

The real answer? The sun! There are so many ways to see the sun through all kinds of filters that admit a tiny part of the light spectrum that it can make your head spin. Good old APOD used this picture today to show the granularity of the surface of the sun when seen through a filter that only shows the light from rusty old fire trucks. Amazing.
