For another scientist, perhaps The projection of a bimodal probability distribution in two dimensions. For some one else, maybe Looking down on two hills, or two piles of snow, with a valley in between them and plains around them. The figure is somewhat non-descript to me and not identifiable. It is, however, very smooth in texture with no cracks nor crevices and somewhat dumbbell shaped with unequal proportions on the two ends. As the central connecting part is not a bar, the overall shape is more like a gourd. The only other thing I can recall from memory that this looks like is that of an early stage of a budding event for some fungus. The image looks like two out of focus sources of light, one about three times the size of the other. Similar to the images one gets from NASA of some binary star system a billion light years away. This is a grey-scale graphic on a black background. It looks like a grainy black and white photo of two bright spots that are out of focus. The foreground consists of two grey regions that appear rounded almost spherical. The sphere on the right is roughly twice as large as the one on the left and set higher in the frame. The two grey regions are very fuzzy and blend together. They fill 80 percent of the foreground area. The shape, white on a dark background, is an asymmetric dumbbell, arranged on the diagonal. It looks like two mounds, the smaller one on the lower left. It also reminds me of a scatter of data points around the diagonal, with a bimodal distribution of points. Finally, since I have worked with luciferase expression in Drosophila, it looks (to me) like a spread of tissues expressing luciferase. On this cryptic picture, we can see two fuzzy, spherical entities undergoing either fission or fusion. They might be binary stars, or anisogamous gametes, or the two modes of the distribution of phenotype frequencies within a speculating population, or God knows what. two nebulous glows beside each other, the right larger and higher than the left reminiscent of something out-of-focus The image of two white, diffuse, spheres of equivalent size when you look at them in a 3D dark space and one of them (the one on the left) is more distant and lower than the other. On a black field there are thousands of small, light dots. The dots are centered around two points; one in the upper right third of the field, and the other in the lower left. I will call these two points centers . As the dots superimpose upon one-another (increase in density), they increase in light intensity, so that there is a gradient from dark grey at the diffuse edge of the two centers to light grey at each center. The upper right center is about twice as large as the lower left center. The two centers are slightly overlapping, and the outline of the borders form an 8 , lying on its side. The picture is filled with a shape like the approaching headlamps of a car driving through fog. The car approaches at an angle. A skewed figure-of-eight in white pixels against a grey background fills the shape of the lamps. The larger glow is in the top right hand quadrant, the smaller in the lower left hand quadrant. This is a black and white short rectangle image. There are two round areas of gray dots which are fairly bright in the center and fade into the black background. The larger is in the upper right and covers 1/3 of the rectangle. The smaller circle is lower left and covers about 1/4 of the rectangle. The two circles blend together in the center of the rectangle. What I see looks like two clouds of points (light pixels). The one on the upper right is larger than the one on the lower left. There is a region of lower point density connecting the two regions of higher density. My first impression is of 2 bivariate distributions , with substantial but incomplete separation between the two groups. A second impression is of two elliptical galaxies ensnared in each others gravitational field. The image is similar to a very blurred monotone picture of two stars in close proximity, such that their coronas join. The smaller is to the left and slightly down, and is around two-thirds the size of the other. The overall outline is a figure eight tilted like the hour hand at half past eight. Two diffuse white balls on a black background. The ball on the right has a diameter about twice as large as the one on the left and is positioned above it so that if a line were drawn joining the centers of two balls from left to right it would be at a roughly 45 degree angle. The balls are close together; nearly overlapping. I see a rectangular black background in which two round white circles, each fuzzy as if drawn with an airbrush, occupy the right upper corner and the lower left corner. The larger of the two circles is in the upper right corner. The objects have the appearance of spheres that are barely joined. It looks like two lights seen through a very deep fog in the night. The lights are fairly strong but the fog is deep enough that no focal point can be distinguished. The image is in black and white. There is a black/grey looking border surrounding a dumbbell shaped object. The dumbbell shaped object is a diffuse white grey. The two lobes of the dumbbell are uneven. The dumbbell shaped object is oriented at about a 30 degree angle from lower left to upper right. This image is what one might have imagined of the electronic cloud found in the p orbital of an atom. Another image that comes to mind, is of someones nude bottom placed on a Xerox machine, but a diffuse image produced, as opposed to a sharp clear image. I see two three dimensional dimly glowing spheres against a dark background. Maybe they are joined, but maybe one is somewhat behind the other. The left-hand sphere is slightly smaller, and slightly lower in the visual field, than the right hand one. Imagine an old photograph in an astronomy book when black and white photos were all their was. The photo is of two exploding distant stars. The stars are blowing up so they look like two fuzzy almost circular clouds of light. The fuzzy cloud on the right in the photo is a little larger than the one on the left but both are denser in their centers and become increasingly fuzzier and fainter as they spread out to their margins. It is a black and white graph. Two white spherical clouds of points almost fill the whole field, a small sphere is on the bottom left corner, the larger sphere occupies the upper right side corner. They fuse where they touch resembling a fat bowling pin. It could describe a supernova explosion or a multidimensional plot. On a black background, there are two fuzzy grey slightly lopsided spheres. The right sphere is about twice the diameter of the left sphere, and is located a little above the left sphere. The two spheres are just touching. The graphic shows two fuzzy whitish clouds against a black background. One cloud is smaller and is toward the lower left corner of the graphic and appears to be nearly radially symmetric. The other cloud in the upper right hand quadrant is perhaps slightly asymmetric. Both clouds are brightest near their centers and gradually fade to black at increasing distance from the center. The two merge somewhat near the middle. This black and white graphic shows two diffuse circular white areas arranged diagonally within the black background. The white areas are each circular forming a figure eight arranged from the bottom left corner to the top right corner. The leftmost white area is approximately half the size of the rightmost white area. The graphic looks like a blurry double star as seen through a telescope. Imagine looking out into deep space. The background is black. The before you is a large, soft, egg-shaped, cream-colored object that has budding off from its left side a smaller egg-shaped object (they are still attached). Both objects are surrounded by a blue haze that seems to glow against the dark background. Your graphic is monochrome. It contains two overlapping, spherical clouds of light, which fill most of the screen, a smaller one on the lower left and a larger one on the upper right. A car coming towards you. Two headlights on a dark, foggy night. The car is on a 45 degree angle, so that the light on the right is higher. The light on the right is also brighter, by about 1 point 5 fold. The graphic has the appearance of two clouds on a black background. I imagine they are composed of water vapor, and that the concentration is highest in the center, where the image is densest. The cloud becomes increasingly diffuse peripherally. One cloud is at least twice the size of the other and is located in the upper right quadrant, whereas the smaller is located in mainly in lower left quadrant. It is possible that the smaller cloud is a bud of the larger one because I do not see any evidence that there is an increased concentration resulting from overlap of two individual units. The image is like two fuzzy headlights on a foggy night with one light brighter than the other. The figure shows two roughly spherical bodies that are not quite resolved from each other, for example something very far away or very small. For example, it could be a telescopic image of the binary star system that is the most distant one known, or it could be a microscopic image (electron, atomic force?) of a molecule composed of two atoms of slightly different sizes, NO for example. I see two white blobs of light, bright overall and diffuse towards the edges. They look like unfocussed spheres. They are framed within a black rectangular space. The blob on the right fills about two-thirds of the space, while the blob on the left is noticeably smaller. They give the illusion that they are merging together, and are oriented so that they span the diagonal, with the righthand blob skewed towards the top of the image. The picture shows two orbs of light against a dark background. The orbs have spherical shapes, with brighter intensity at the center than at the edges, where the light is diffused. The smaller one at the lower left of the picture touches the larger one that nearly fills the upper right of the picture. It could be a representation of a chemical structure, or it could be distant stars, although I am not sure why they appear to be touching. Maybe it is a large lighted gas cloud from which a smaller spherical cloud is being born. This shows a dark or black background with two patches of light. The top one is brighter than the other. A mother polar bear and her daughter at night I see two globular objects which are fusing together or emerge through fission of one object. One is larger and brighter than the other one. The two objects are still connected. The first idea was the whole thing looks like a dividing cell, but this may be a too biological interpretation. Its a black and white image, very fuzzy. The upper left corner and lower right corner are solid black; there are two white cloudlike forms touching in the center, one oriented in the upper right, and one oriented in the lower left, so they form a diagonal figure eight. The upper right cloud is slightly larger. They are faintly luminous and bright in the center of the clouds and fade slowly to dark grey at the edges. The whole image vaguely resembles a heavily airbrushed photograph of human buttocks. Or maybe a blown-up shot of twin solar systems, very far away. It seems to me like a dividing budding yeast or a unequally dividing cell whose DNA is stained with a fluorescent dye Its like looking at a fuzzed out black and white photo of two mounds (hill-shaped things), about as viscous as lava lamp liquid. They are arranged diagonally--the larger one takes up most of the upper right hand part of the picture, the smaller, maybe 2/3 the diameter, in the lower left hand area. Its what sticking a babys rattle into pizza dough would look like from the other side.. the stuff coming out is lighter than the background, which is black. The picture is black and white and is 7 inches long and 4 1/2 inches high. The picture shows two out-of-focus light circles against a black background. The first is centered about 2 1/2 inches from the top and right edges (in the upper right quadrant) and is about 4 3/4 inches in diameter. The second is centered about 1/1/2 inches from the lower and left edges (in the lower left quadrant) and is about 2 3/4 inches in diameter. The circles overlap or fade into one another. The overall appearance is of two lights shining behind an opaque, patterned glass. A rectangular picture, proportions about 1 by 1 point 7. On a black background two partially overlapping round halos, with very fuzzy boundaries. One, larger, touches the top right side of the picture, the other, smaller, the lower left side. The picture resembles a black and white photo of two street lamps, one closer than the other, in a night of extreme fog. The photograph is of two bright spots on a dark background. The spots are on a diagonal at about 45 degrees with the lower one somewhat smaller and less intense than the upper one. You could image two distant headlights seen from a car tilted approximately 45 degrees counterclockwise. The image contains two very diffuse, light gray, spherical objects on an otherwise black background. The spheres are touching with the left one slightly lower and smaller than the one on the right. The picture is a blurred image of two roughly spherical objects of approximate relative radii 1 to 1 point 5. The smaller sphere is at the bottom left corner, joined at its surface in the centre of the picture to the larger sphere at the top right. Looks like the molecular force field of a molecule of sodium chloride in solution. Must be a HRMI (high resolution molecular imaging) photo. The image shows two bright, roughly spherical objects against a dark background. The objects are in such poor focus that they bleed into each other. They may in fact be a single object. The larger of the two objects is in the upper right portion of the picture; the smaller one is to the left and slightly lower. The smaller object may in fact be of equal size but farther away. It is a diffuse image of a bi-polar body, as one might see a budding yeast cell in an optical microscope of low resolution or the scan of a distant star. The object itself appears to be lemon-yellow, but its color is made uncertain either because it itself is emitting strong light or it is very brightly illuminated, and it is surrounded by a purple glow. It looks like a density plot with two peaks (or troughs), one smaller in the lower left corner, and one larger in the upper right. Because the peaks are lighter than the background, it also looks like a frontal view of the headlights of a weird asymmetric car in night fog.
