Caldwell 72, also known as NGC 55, is a galaxy located 6.5 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Sculptor. It was discovered by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop in 1826, when he resided in Australia. Caldwell 72 is best observed in the Southern Hemisphere during the spring, although it can also be viewed from southern parts of the Northern Hemisphere in the autumn. The galaxy has an apparent magnitude of 7.8 and can be spotted with a pair of binoculars under dark skies.
Caldwell 72 is classified as a Magellanic-type galaxy. The classification is named after the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite of our Milky Way galaxy. Galaxies of this type have a single spiral arm and are an intermediate class between irregular galaxies and dwarf spiral galaxies. Morphologically, Caldwell 72 very closely resembles the Large Magellanic Cloud, but is smaller and has an edge-on orientation.
This image, showing a central part of Caldwell 72, is a composite of visible and infrared observations made by Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys. The observations were taken to help astronomers understand how the distribution of the galaxy’s relatively small structures, such as dust clouds, affect how the light from the galaxy is dimmed as it passes through this intervening matter. Because light from the galaxy is partially obscured by the dust along our line of sight, it is important that we understand its small-scale distribution.

One owner since new. Impressive really, given that was 45 years ago!! Delaine still own this Atlantean, which of course is now preserved, and gets seen regularly at different events and shows, which is great to see!! Now the question is will the B5TL bought last year still be around in 2063??

These two cars competed in the HSCC Seldon Pre '71 Single Seater Championship race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1986. The number 72 car is a 1970 Lotus 72, chassis 72/R4 and in front of it is a 1971 McLaren M19A, chassis M19A/1, both of which belonged to the then owner of the Oulton Park racing circuit (and Brands Hatch and Snetterton), John Foulston, who drove the McLaren in that race whilst his wife Mary drove the Lotus. The Lotus 72 was designed by Colin Chapman and Maurice Philippe and the McLaren M19A was designed by Ralph Bellamy, both cars having the Ford Cosworth DFV 2,993cc V8 engine. The Lotus was the more successful of the two cars, Jochen Rindt winning the World Driver's Championship in 1970 and Emerson Fittipaldi in 1972, and Lotus winning the World Constructor's Championship in 1970, 1972 and 1973. The McLaren's best results were a third place in the Driver's Championship in 1972 for Denny Hulme and a third place in the Constructor's Championship the same year for McLaren.
My entry for the Cold War/Vietnam Contest.
Is it SVD? Is it SKS? Nope, SVK-72 is the love child of those two. 7.62x54mm semi-automatic rifle, accepts SVD magazines. Is availible in various variations.
Top: Standard marksman version, with medium range scope and bipod. Ussualy used as support weapon.
Bottom: Standard infantry-man version, comes with huge-ass foldable bayonet.
So yeah, this is my entry for the early mentioned contest. It took me some time as it is mostly made out of shapes (even the bayonet) while no white (or red, except background) shapes were used.
The stock/receiver/handguard wooden piece is actually fully recolourable (but without those grey parts in handguad area) and if someone is interested, I can give you code for it. It is not very large and I think it looks kinda cool.
Also, credits for the star in background goes to.... www.flickr.com/photos/48492756@N06/5048289892/
As ussualy, this weapon is fictional.
my cousin couldnt come with us to the woods.
we're plannin on going again next weekend.
i like the stuff i got, and how this turned out.
i took some film too, and tried a couple double exposures.
I got this jar in Gettysburg for like 1.50. I had this type of photo in mind for a while and then I saw the jar and I was like THAT'S THE KIND OF JAR I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!! So I got excited and bought it... I'm happy with how this came out :]

The Antonov An-72 (NATO reporting name: Coaler) is a Soviet/Ukrainian transport aircraft, developed by Antonov. It was designed as an STOL transport and intended as a replacement for the Antonov An-26, but variants have found success as commercial freighters.
The An-72 and the related An-74 get their nickname, Cheburashka, from the large engine intake ducts, which resemble the oversized ears of the popular Soviet animated character of the same name.
The An-72 first flew in December 1977. Produced in tandem with the An-72, the An-74 variant adds the ability to operate in harsh weather conditions in polar regions, because it can be fitted with wheel-skis landing gear, de-icing equipment and a number of other upgrades, allowing the aircraft to support operations in Arctic or Antarctic environments. Other An-72 versions include the An-72S VIP transport and An-72P maritime patrol aircraft.
An unusual design feature of the An-72 is the use of the Coandă effect to improve STOL performance, utilizing engine exhaust gases blown over the wing's upper surface to boost lift. The first flight was made on 31 August 1977, but it was only in the 1980s that production started.
The rear fuselage of the aircraft has a hinged loading ramp with a rear fairing that slides backwards and up to clear the opening. Up to 7.5 tons can be airdropped while there are folding side seats for 52 passengers.
This aircraft was at the 1984 Farnborough Airshow known officially the Farnborough International Airshow, which is a trade exhibition for the aerospace and defence industries, where civilian and military aircraft are demonstrated to potential customers and investors. Since its first show in 1948, Farnborough has seen the debut of many famous planes, including the Vickers VC10, Concorde, the Eurofighter, the Airbus A380, and the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. At the 1958 show, the RAF’s Black Arrows executed a 22-plane formation loop, setting a world record.
The international trade show is put together every two years by FIL Farnborough International Ltd. and runs for five days. Formerly, the show ran for a full week with trade visitors attending on the first five days and the weekend reserved for the general public. Programming takes place at the Farnborough Airfield, which lies roughly 50 kilometres south-west of London.
