Photo of the Day

Byzantine Coin, Sinop, Turkey, 2001
Photograph by Randy Olson
Explorers pulled this ancient Byzantine coin from a Black Sea wreck near Sinop, Turkey. Millennia ago, the Black Sea was a freshwater lake. When the last ice age waned some 12,000 years ago, salt water from the Mediterranean breached the Bosporus Valley, transforming the Black Sea into its current state—a toxic, brackish, oxygen-deficient pool, perfect for preserving ancient wrecks.
意译：主标题：拜占庭的硬币，Sinop，土耳其，2001年。
探险家摘下来远古的拜占庭的硬币是从黑海一艘失事船靠近Sinop,土耳其。很久以前，黑海是一个淡水湖。当最后的冰河年代消逝约12000年前，盐水从地中海突破博斯普鲁斯海峡流域，转化那黑海进入当前的情形――一个有毒的，缺氧的池塘，因而完美的保留远古的沉船。

Inventor and balloonist Frederick Eshoo drifts over Albuquerque, New Mexico, in his invention, Sunstat, the first maneuverable solar hot-air balloon.
The balloon's clear panels (left) transmit sunlight to heat-absorbing opaque panels opposite, heating the air inside and keeping the balloon aloft. At more than four hours and 12,500 feet (3,800 meters), Eshoo’s first trip was a soaring success.

China is the only country on Earth with continuous tropical, subtropical, temperate, and boreal zones. From the spectacular lotus to the once thought extinct Metasequoia, and with more than 2,000 edible and 3,000 medicinal plants, China is a botanical paradise. In light of its rapid economic growth and diminishing natural habitats, China unveiled a national strategy for plant conservation in February 2008. The action plan was four years in the making and will attempt to protect the country’s diverse, fascinating, and rare flora.
意译：中国植物图片集。中国是地球上惟一的国家具有持续的热带，亚热带，和北部地域。从引人入胜的荷花到第一次关注的灭绝的水杉属，而且有超过2000种可以食用的3000种做为药用的植物，中国是一个植物学的天堂。它的亮点是高速发展的经济和逐渐缩小的自然界的产地，2008年2月中国公诸于众一个国家的策略关于植物的保存。这个行动计划是在四年内发展和努力去保护国家的不同的，迷人的，和罕见的花神。

The flowers of the sacred lotus are symbols of purity and divine birth closely linked with the teachings of the historical Buddha. The plants are rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, and people have consumed the petals, stamens, leaves, seeds, and roots for thousands of years. Lotus seeds are classified as astringents, which constrict body tissues, and are considered beneficial for the spleen, kidney, and heart. Moreover, the seeds are highly resilient. According to the American Journal of Botany, a 14th-century lotus seed was recovered from an ancient lake bed in China, becoming the oldest germinated seed on record. (Nelumbo nucifera)
