...different levels of the atmosphere. Too much shear can disrupt the structure of a hurricane's eyewall, whereas more uniform winds allow a hurricane to grow to maximum potential. When Isabel briefly exploded into a Category 5 storm, wind shear was low, and its eyewall formed a nearly flawless cone of clouds some 60,000 ft. high. In the eyewall itself, winds whirled at an epic 230 m.p.h. "When we got into the eye," says Colorado State University atmospheric scientist Michael Montgomery, who flew through the eerie stillness at the storm's core, "it was like being in the middle...

...What's particularly clever about "Eros" is the way Herpich uses the forms contained in a panel to mimic those of its predecessor.

Through repetition and pauses, panels that repeat something from before or else...
...have worked either, and, of course, the famous ornithopters, helicopters and gliders that made him, in the eyes of an earlier generation, a sort of quattrocento Orville Wright never moved an inch into the air. Probably not even the crank-propelled tanks that he hoped would creep like lethal cone snails across the battlefields of northern Italy would have harmed anyone, even assuming that their sweating and straining occupants could have got their wheels to go round at all, which is beyond probability...
