Rays Unknown

 
 

What IS that?
That was my first thought
on seeing this picture.
A curious imagination
thought aliens must have finally
 been proved to exist!
But, no....
Today is X-Ray Day

More history, by the sounds of that.
 1895.
Germany.
Wilhelm Roentgen
accidentally discovered a “new” ray.
 Not knowing what it was,
he named it “X” ray…
which is the name
we still use today.
After discovering the ray
and figuring he knew
what it would do,
he asked his wife
to be the first person
to be x-rayed.
I guess she was pretty brave!
was of her hand
and her huge wedding ring.
Imagine a world without x-rays!
