Scientists may have observed, for the first time, the destruction of a a young planet or planets around a nearby star. Observations from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory indicate that the parent star is now in the process of devouring the planetary debris. This discovery gives insight into the processes affecting the survival of infant planets.
Since 1937, astronomers have puzzled over the curious variability of a young star named RW Aur A, located about 450 light years from Earth. Every few decades, the star’s optical light has faded briefly before brightening again. In recent years, astronomers have observed the star dimming more frequently, and for longer periods.
Using Chandra, a team of scientists may have uncovered what caused the star's most recent dimming event: a collision of two infant planetary bodies, including at least one object large enough to be a planet. As the resulting planetary debris fell into the star, it would generate a thick veil of dust and gas, temporarily obscuring the star’s light.
This artist’s illustration depicts the destruction of a young planet or planets.

It all happend so quick, i needed sleep, i thought it was safe, but i was wrong. I woke up, and it was on top of me, it had already tore into me. I tried to grab my gun, but i could not reach it. My shrieks were like the dinner bell of every walker within miles. I new this was the end.
I am back. Hope you guys enjoy this little scene!
The lack of toolsets that are working with current build of this game makes screenshooting not much fun.

the lens is very sharp and contrasty and has a great swirly bokeh effect.
She was attacked as if they were animals, they did not hesitate for a second to devour her half-dead, half-alive body, she was still breathing and as soon as they saw a moment of weakness, they all attacked as if they were a single mind.

This shot reminds me of a lyric from my favorite band Marillion:
Did you ever dream of running
And find you couldn't move
Did you ever dream of running
Running scared
Ankle deep in glue
With the monster after you
And it's catching up
Monsters catching up
And it's catchin' up and you're going nowhere
And you're slowin' up And you can't wake up
And it's catchin' up
and you're going nowhere wake up wake up
You're falling…
(Steve Hogarth)

This shot would have made nice Monday face, too, don't you think?
Enjoy!

In my city, one of the richest cities in the wealthiest country in human history, 39,000 homeless people sleep in shelters every single night. They represent only a sliver of the number of people who live here without work, without homes, without an education, without healthcare of any kind.
As the American military budget approaches $500 BILLION dollars a year, the USA can boast of declining literacy, declining health, declining social services, one of the worst infant mortality rates in the entire Western Hemisphere, more imprisoned citizens than any other country on earth, and a national debt that numbers in the trillions of dollars.
Those who actually have work see their wages taxed to prop up some of the most violently repressive military regimes on earth - Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Israel. Our past best friends included Saddam's Iraq, the Shah's Iran, Apartheid South Africa, the Philippines under Marcos, Somoza in Nicaragua, etc etc etc. Virtually every gencodaire and dictator of the last 50 years has been in our payroll. For example, until 1998, every single high level Taliban official was in the payroll of the US. Across the earth our national wealth is being doled out around the world to armed fanatics of every stripe, even as we steal the natural wealth of the earth to feed our own greedy apetites for Chia Pets and Eyeliner. The amount of money Americans spend of pornography and dog food each year could feed every starving person on the planet - not that we care. Meanwhile, our economic, cultural and military force is turned towards stamping out democracy wherever it emerges, crushing human rights wherever they are demanded.
While 50,000 people a day die of hunger, lack of clean water, and the largest epidemic in history, the wealthiest country in the world offers the poorest countries in the world little more than prisons, bibles, military bases, threats, weapons, and "structural assistance" that benefits only the wealthiest .001%. In the end, the price of our assistance is always the same: political obedience, economic enslavement, and debt repayment schedules which consume the gross national product of entire continents....

The guy in this photo is a local character who has lived in my neighborhood for decades. People call him "Screaming Jesus", a vaguely affectionate kind of mockery which conveniently disregards his entire life. I was delighted to see him carrying the flag on the 4th of July. He had some words for me about the state of this country.
Our lack of interest is a mirror he is holding up to those who run this country like a private slush fund. He is an early warning system which we ignore at our own terrible peril.

16/52. Stood in wet bushes for half an hour. Now I'm smelling like a forest and my neighbors think that I've completely lost my mind.
