“What makes this spiral galaxy so long? Measuring over 700,000 light years across from top to bottom, NGC 6872, also known as the Condor galaxy, is one of the most elongated barred spiral galaxies known. *Click image for larger size.* The galaxy's protracted shape likely results from its continuing collision with the smaller galaxy IC 4970, visible just above center. Of particular interest is NGC 6872's spiral arm on the upper left, as pictured here, which exhibits an unusually high amount of blue star forming regions.

The current of the river swept silently over them all- young and old, rich and poor, good and evil, the current going its own way, knowing only its own crystal self. Each creature in its own manner clung tightly to the twigs and rocks of the river bottom, for clinging was their way of life, and resisting the current what each had learned from birth. But one creature said at last, "I am tired of clinging. Though I cannot see it with my eyes, I trust that the current knows where it is going. I shall l... more »

After announcing the redeployment, he... more »
The Tories and Betrayal
I regret to report the Tories are at it again. Ben Bradley having been forced to apologise for claiming Jeremy Corbyn was an agent of a Warsaw Pact signatory, the Tory rhetoric has moved on to the language of terrorism and betrayal. Not that they're accusing Corbyn of anything specific, mind. It's betrayal in the abstract. We have "respected" Tory cadre Tim Montgomerie going hard on non-existent terrorist sympathies supposedly harboured by the Labour leader. A case of physician, heal thyself if I ever saw one. Then yesterday, "Kaiser" Bill Cash asked Theresa May if she thought Labo... more »
Wolves Surround This Horse, But The Horse's Actions Leave The Wolves Questioning Everything
Fabrizio Giammatteo filmed a brave horse stand its ground against a pack of Italian wolves and its confidence in the situation probably saved its life. Instead of showing fear and running, the horse embraced the wolves' presence and showed them who's in charge. At one point the horse even rolls around in the snow, putting itself in a completely defenseless position. When asked what happened after the video ended, Fabrizio said "the horse just decided to go back eating some grass where he was before, leaving the poor wolves puzzled. After a few minutes the wolves decided to go away ... more »
Reactions To Yesterday's Talks Between North And South Korea
*BBC: **Donald Trump cautious on N Korea nuclear disarmament talks* Donald Trump has reacted cautiously to news that North Korea is willing to talk about giving up its nuclear weapons if it did not feel threatened. The US president said "the statements coming out of South Korea and North Korea have been very positive", but also said it might be a "false hope". South Korea earlier said the subject was raised when its officials met the North's leader, Kim Jong-un, on Monday. Seoul said Mr Kim was also open to US talks, and would pause weapons testing. In previous programmes to halt... more »

There have been previous programmes to halt the North's nuclear ambitions, but it has failed to keep its promises. It will be the first meeting between the leaders of the two countries for more than a decade. The two men will meet on the heavily fortified borde... more »

Inclusion Riders Are A Good Idea In All Types Of Employment Agreements
Frances McDormand made an impassioned plea during her Oscar speech for more diversity. She mentioned the term, "inclusion rider" at the end of her speech. So what is an inclusion rider, and can it be used in non-Hollywood employment agreements? The idea of the inclusion rider is that stars with lots of negotiating power can help those with little or now power by protecting them in the stars' contracts. So including things like equal pay for costars, diversity in cast and crew, and other clauses to protect coworkers can bring about change in Hollywood. But would it work in other emp... more »
