No one knows what Einsteinium looks like, but it is radioactive. This is a representation of the element.
Nobelium Symbol: No
Nobelium Atomic Number: 102
Nobelium Atomic Weight: (254)
The metallic transuranic element belongs to the actinoids. Seven known isotopes exist, the most stable being No-254 with a half-life of 255 seconds. First identified with certainty by Albert Ghiorso and Glenn T. Seaborg in 1966.

I was happy that some of you "got it".
Shakespeare's Hamlet when Hamlet, upon seeing Yorick's skull, says "Alas poor Yorick."
Used the skull to represent radioactive elements, such as Nobelium.
The rock is actually a light volcanic one known as scoria. Here in NM, we have lots of them :)
I'm not sure I get the reference in the title. The texture is interesting, but the image fails to inspire any emotional response. Technically, I can't find fault except perhaps an ever so slightly too narrow DoF, but that's just nit-picking.
i've never heard of yorick nobelium. maybe i should pay more attention in chemistry. all in all i dont really care for this photo. it seems a bit dull, i do like the texture on the subject though
