The star-shaped image on the right is an illustration by Ernst Haeckel, a man whose identity I am loathe to pigeonhole with words. The image is one of a collection that was first published in 1904 in his book entitled Kunstformen der Natur –  Art Forms in Nature.

Acanthometra is the taxa used by Haeckel. The Modern English taxonomical term is Acanthometrides, an order of marine protozoans in the Subclass Acantharia with 20 or less skeletal rods.

Why is this illustration on this website? I'm simply taken by it. There's no hidden meaning. I'd rather not attempt to put any more words to my experience here, and I hope that will help you to have your own experience as well.
