"The most distant object easily visible to the eye is M31, the great Andromeda Galaxy some two and a half million light-years away. But without a telescope, even this immense spiral galaxy - spanning over 200,000 light years - appears as a faint, nebulous cloud in the constellation Andromeda. In contrast, details of a bright yellow nucleus and dark winding dust lanes, are revealed in this digital telescopic image. *Click image for larger size.* Narrow band image data recording emission from hydrogen atoms, shows off the reddish star-forming regions dotting gorgeous blue spiral arms an...
Chet Raymo, "Awww…"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 5 hours ago
*"Awww…"* by Chet Raymo “In one of his always delightful essays, Stephen Jay Gould traced the "evolution" of Mickey Mouse from the time of his creation by Disney, in 1928, to the mouse we know today. The early Mickey was a bit of a rascal - mischievous, occasionally cruel. And he looked more or less like a real adult mouse: small head in proportion to body, pointy nose compared to cranial vault, beady eyes, spindly legs. As time passed, Mickey's personality softened and his appearance changed. Head and cranium became enlarged, eyes grew to half the size of the face, limbs got pudgi...

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Although some observers characterized the conflict as the “War to End all Wars,” an even more devastating war lay ahead. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *By the end of hostilities, World War 1, also known as the Great War, resulted in more than 40 million military and civilian casualties and billions of dollars in property damage. On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, visited the city of Sarajevo and were assassinated by Gavrilo Princip, a 20-year-old Yugoslav natio...
An Experimental Aircraft Carrier: A Good Idea for the U.S. Navy?
David Axe, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, * Lessons can be learned from experimenting. *Here's What You Need To Remember: * The U.S. Navy should convert USS *Nimitz*, the fleet’s oldest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, into a test ship once the flattop decommissions in the mid-2020s. That’s the recommendation of Navy lieutenant Douglas Cantwell, who served aboard the 1,092-feet-long carrier. His advice has precedent. The Navy recently formed an experimental “Surface Development Squadron” for *Zumwalt*-class stealth destroyers, Littoral Combat Ships and drone vessels. “The Navy needs a platform ...
