The Trojan asteroids that circle in Jupiter’s orbit and give the asteroid belt a triangular shape cluster around Lagrangian points as shown here:

Trojan Asteroids at Jupiters Lagrange Points

With Lagrangian points other stable patterns are possible, and so happen. A stable 3:2 resonance pattern of asteroids whose motion gets confined to a basically triangular shape by the combined pull of Jupiter and the Sun. Around Jupiter this group of asteroids is called the Hilda Family, and their route forms a triangle with its three points at the two Lagrange points and at the point on Jupiter’s orbit directly opposite it from the Sun.

Of all the worlds I’ve been to, this one is definitely my favorite.

Today, in preparation for my 2 months in the Yucatan I received a more

modern version of this, a typhus vaccine

And the 1st of 3 of a more modern version of this rabies vaccine:

Both arms ache but I am excited about the journey they are readying me for.

British architect/artist/technical wizard Alex Chinneck’s newest work is called A Pound Of Flesh For 50p..
For London’s Merge Festival he built a two story building that will be a structure to see and watch this month.

Working for over a year with many different chemists, wax specialists and engineers, Chinneck has managed to build a house completely from wax.

Replicating bricks from wax this one features over 8000 of them, set to melt over the course of 30 days. This house will eventually be nothing but a pile of waxed lumps coagulated on the ground with pieces of window and door frames sticking out.

The process will be something of a surreal slow motion break down of matter; where the wax will look like an organic disease spreading out down the building. The wax will consume itself – like something out of a bad B Grade horror movie.

Celebrating the Bankside district in London, this project harks back to the original candle-making factory on this site a couple of hundred years before.
