"At first glance, the winning images from the 2010 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition--put on by the camera company's U.S. arm--look like distant worlds or psychedelic moon landscapes. But take a (much) closer look, and you'll see the images are of life science specimens that surround us every day: seeds, insects, plants, animals, and eyes... "

Then just invite the circle. Create any documents you are going to share ahead of time in Google Docs to easily add them to the hangout."

Great example of the process one can use in determining if an image is real or fake.
