Paris in the 1890s was the centre of the modern world. In 1889 the city had staged the Exposition universelle, a world’s fair organised to commemorate the centenary of the French Revolution and to boost the national economy and culture — to mark the event, engineer Gustave Eiffel built his 300-metre tower.

The robin’s-egg blue kitchen looks out on the brown grass of the empty plains. The gas stove lurches away from the wall, and, in the wild yard, the white bones of a deer bleach in the sun.

Aliens under the rainbow
The geometry that gives rise to rainbows may help scientists to find out whether other planets contain water, which is necessary to sustain life.
