Aurora Australis : Not fireworks, these intense shimmering lights still danced across Earth’s night skies late last month, seen here above the planet’s geographic south pole. The stunning auroral displays were triggered as a coronal mass ejection blasted from the Sun days earlier impacted the magnetosphere, beginning a widespread geomagnetic storm. The six fisheye panels were recorded with digital camera and battery in a heated box to guard against -90 degree F ambient temperatures of the long winter night. Around the horizon are south pole astronomical observatories, while beyond the Aurora Australis stretch the stars of the southern Milky Way. via NASA

This is the binary code to the “Hello, World!” program, a simple computer program used in beginner classes to introduce basic programming syntax. The program’s sole function is to print “Hello, World!” on screen: an uplifting, symbolic gesture in which the computer (an emerging technology when the program was first created) greets the world full of hope, and of wonder.
