Solid Crystalline Red Oxygen (Epsilon Oxygen)

So apparently there is a solid oxygen that is red, octavalent and crystalline. Didn't know there was a real pic of it until came across a post by u/KennaiSki on r/cursedchemistry. 




More interestingly on the wiki, there seems to be a zeta oxygen too that is allegedly metallic in nature, metallic oxygen. Wonder how the transition from the red epsilon-oxygen to the metallic zeta-oxygen is like, and if zeta-oxygen could ever be photographed, prolly not tho. 






The fact that there r virtually 6 allotropes, literally 6 flavours of solid oxygen is insane too.

After Dark (Mr.Kitty), an Amateur Nonchalant Cover

I love this song, and it's various covers online. Wonderful instrumental, but couldn't follow the words, before looking up the lyrics.
