Roald Amundsen (often abbreviated Roald; named in honor of Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen), originally named Vilm, is a German steel-ship built on the Elbe River in 1952. Having worked in different areas, she was refitted in 1992 to 1993 as a brig (two-masted square-rigged sailing ship) and now serves as a sail training ship. During summer, she usually operates in the Baltic Sea, and usually embarks for journeys to farther destinations for winter, including several trans-Atlantic crossings.
Description
Roald Amundsen has a length overall of 49.8 m (163 ft), a length of hull of 40.8 m (134 ft) and a waterline length of 38.2 m (125 ft). The vessel has a beam of 7.2 m (24 ft) and a maximum draft of 4.2 m (14 ft). Roald's masts reach a height of 34 m (112 ft) and are rigged with 18 sails with a total area of 850.0 m2 (9,149 sq ft). The vessel has a displacement of 480 tons and has a tonnage of 298 gross register tons (GRT).
Roald Amundsen has an 8-cylinder Buckau-Wolff diesel engine rated at 220 kW (300 hp). The vessel is equipped with two generators, one of 48 kW (64 hp), the other of 53 kW (71 hp). The ship can carry 180 tons of ballast. Roald Amundsen has crew of 17 with up to 31 trainees embarked.
Ship history
The hull of the ship was built at the shipyard Roßlauer Werft on the Elbe River in Roßlau, German Democratic Republic, in 1952. Originally intended for fishing as a deep sea fishing lugger, plans were changed before the completion of the ship, and she was then instead built as a type of tanker. The vessel was completed at the shipyard Peene-Werft in Wolgast, Germany, on the Baltic Sea.
Named Vilm, the ship was put to use for the National People's Army (NVA), first as a tanker and supply vessel, operating out of Peenemünde and crewed mainly by civilian seamen. Converted to a transporter for bilge water in the 1970s on the Peene-Werft, Vilm then made regular trips to the bases of the National People's Army to take the ships' bilge water to a centralized treatment facility. This service was discontinued at the end of 1988.
After not having been used for a year, Vilm was towed to Neustadt in Holstein and there at the navy base used as living quarters. At the beginning of 1991, the ship was put up for sale by the Vebeg GmbH, a corporation to sell federal property.
Detlev Löll and Hanns Temme purchased the ship at an auction and, with the help of some of the former crew, sailed the ship to Wolgast in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. In spring 1992, a complete overhaul began, in the course of which the ship received a new exterior keel and was refitted as a brig; the rig includes five square sails at each mast and includes lifting yards for the upper-three yards (upper main topsail, topgallant and royal) at each mast, lowering the center of gravity of the ship when sails are furled. The overhaul was subsidized by the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the Bundesagentur für Arbeit and formed part of the job creation program "Fridtjof Nansen" (led by the owner), which comprised the refitting of this ship as well as other sailing ships Fridtjof Nansen and Nobile.
In 1993, the ship was put to its new use under the name of Roald Amundsen. It was chartered by the newly founded sail training club LebenLernen auf Segelschiffen e.V. (short: LLaS; German: learning to live on sailing ships). After a short intermezzo with another sail-training club, Segelschiff Fritjof Nansen e.V., in 1993, Roald Amundsen has since been chartered by the LLaS and used for sail training.
Roald Amundsen now operates all year around as a sail training vessel with voyages lasting between one and three weeks. Her home port is Eckernförde, a harbour city in Schleswig-Holstein near Kiel in northern Germany. Summer months are spent with voyages on the Baltic Sea from Denmark to Baltic countries or the North Sea. Winters are spent in warmer regions. Roald Amundsen has repeatedly crossed the Atlantic Ocean, bound for South American ports in Brazil and French Guiana (1998), for tall ships events in North America (2000, 2010), and for the Caribbean (2001, 2011/12, 2012/13). Further destinations include Iceland (1995), England and Ireland (2006), the Mediterranean (2006/07, 2007/08), the Canary Islands (1995), and others. During her North American voyage in 2010, Roald Amundsen visited the Great Lakes and there met with the US brig Niagara; the two brigs formed an unofficial friendship, and as of 2013, Roald Amundsen still flies a flag of Niagara at some occasions such as the Tall Ship Parade at Kiel Week. Another friendship, based on their respective crews on board for Kiel Week, has been formed with the German wooden schooner Amphitrite; both ships have established a tradition of berthing next to each other during the event.
The ship has participated in the Tall Ships' Races and is rated as a Class A tall ship by Sail Training International.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speyer_Cathedral#Crypt
Over the centuries, crypts developed from tiny chambers into large semi-subterranean and very articulated hall crypts, which became standard forms in Italy and Germany, sometimes extending under the transepts as well as the chancel. The monumental crypt of Speyer Cathedral, consecrated in 1041, is the largest Romanesque columned hall crypt in Europe, with an area of 850 m2 (9,149 sq ft) and a height of approx. 7 m. Forty-two groin-vaults are supported on twenty cylindrical columns with simple cushion capitals. The sandstone blocks alternate in colour between yellow and rust, a typical design of the Salian and Staufer era, and providing the context of the colour-scheme of the 19th century facade. The "architectural clarity is quite exceptional, a result of the precise execution of the base moldings and the cushion capitals, together with the emphatic system of transverse arches."[27](see detail below)

Este arroyo desemboca en el río Paraná a la altura del barrio Arroyito de la ciudad de Rosario. Tiene 19 km de extensión, incluyendo sus tributarios. La Municipalidad de Rosario, ha previsto la generación del Parque Habitacional Ludueña. Debido a las constantes inundaciones con sus consecuentes daños provocados a los habitantes de la ciudad de Rosario, se construyó una represa retardatoria, de tierra (y refuerzos de hormigón armado), que ayuda a retardar los caudales de aguas provenientes de las lluvias torrenciales. Durante 2009, se reacondicionaron los taludes, vandalizados por el tránsito de vehículos tetraciclos de turismo. Durante un tramo de 1,5 km ―al atravesar la región norte de la ciudad de Rosario― el arroyo se encuentra entubado. El entubamiento tiene una sección de 74 m² (9,7 m de diámetro) y finaliza en el Parque Alem (en el barrio Arroyito).
With an interval of almost 5000 days, I photographed again this part of the same monument (at Cabo da Roca, Portugal - which is the westernmost point of continental Europe), and then it looked like this. The time period between these photos is exactly 4974 days, 0 hours, 14 minutes and 22 seconds, ie 13 years, 7 months, 13 days, 14 minutes and 22 seconds. The difference in the quality of the light is abysmal and this can also be related to the time of year (the first is in February and the second in September). The lens used is also different and there are quite a few versions of Canon EOS DSLR in between - from the 40D to the 90D :)
Com um intervalo de quase 5000 dias, fotografei novamente esta parte deste mesmo monumento (no Cabo da Roca, que é o ponto mais ocidental da Europa continental), e então ficou assim. O intervalo de tempo é, mais exactamente, de 4974 dias, 0 horas, 14 minutos e 22 segundos, ou seja, 13 anos, 7 meses, 13 dias, 14 minutos e 22 segundos. A diferença na qualidade da luz é abismal e isso também pode estar relacionado com a época do ano (a primeira em Fevereiro e a segunda em Setembro). A objectiva usada também é diferente e existem algumas versões de Canon EOS DSLR pelo meio - da 40D para a 90D :)

Geronimo is a French trimaran designed to break great offshore records. It was skippered by the French yachtsman Olivier de Kersauson. It was launched on Saturday 29 September 2001 in Brest, France by Marie Tabarly.
Geronimo was purchased by Sodebo in February 2013 and renamed Sodebo Ultim. The trimaran was heavily modified with a shorter and lighter central hull, a new mast and new cockpit configuration, making it more suitable for long-distance solo sailing.[1] It is now skippered by Thomas Coville.

Rajiv Gandhi International Airport
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (IATA: HYD, ICAO: VOHS), also known as Hyderabad International Airport, or simply RGIA, is an international airport serving the metropolis of Hyderabad located at Shamshabad, about 22 km (14 mi) south of Hyderabad.
It is named after former Prime Minister of India, Rajiv Gandhi. It replaced the former international airport at Begumpet and commercial flight operations began on 23 March 2008. Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is the second public-private partnership venture after Cochin International Airport.Its Domestic terminal is named after former CM of united Andhra Pradesh Late NT Ramo Rao. In 2010–11, it was the sixth busiest in India by international and overall passenger traffic.[6]
The airport features as the top among Indian airports in the ranking of world airports for the year 2013 by Skytrax.[7] It serves as a hub for SpiceJet, Lufthansa Cargo and Blue Dart Aviation and as a focus city for Air India, Jet Airways, and JetLite.
Development[edit]
Design and construction began in September 2005, and the airport was opened in March 2008.[8] The project is a public-private joint venture between GMR Group, Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad and the government of Telangana and Airports Authority of India (AAI). GMR Group holds 63% of the equity, MAHB 11%, while the government of Telangana and Airports Authority of India each hold 13%.[1]
Airport Terminal
It is being developed in three phases, and when completed will provide infrastructure for 40 million passengers annually.[9] After the first phase of development, it will accommodate 10 million passengers a year.[9] The cost of the project is INR 24.7 billion (US$560 million).[10] The airport is being built on an area of 5,500 acres (2,200 ha) making it the largest airport in India in terms of area. It was designed by the UK engineering design firm Arup, which designed Dubai Terminal 3 and Beijing Terminal 3.[11]
First phase[edit]
In the first phase of development, the 105,300 m2 (1,133,000 sq ft) Terminal 1, with the capacity to handle 14 million passengers per annum has been constructed. Terminal 1 has 18 contact and 36 remote stands for aircraft parking. Other buildings, including the air traffic control tower, technical building, cargo hangars (100,000 tonnes capacity), maintenance hangars, utilities under a combined area of 49,500 m2 (533,000 sq ft) have been developed. An 1800-car parking lot in front of Terminal 1 is operational for the convenience of passengers and visitors. A hotel has been constructed in this phase.
Air traffic control tower[edit]
Cafe and Shops in Terminal, Hyderabad Airport
The ATC tower is 75 m (246 ft) tall and has a column-free perimeter to give uninterrupted views of the airfield.[12]
Second phase[edit]
In the second phase of the airport development, Terminal 1 will be expanded to an area of 260,000 m2 (2,800,000 sq ft) to cater to the growing demand. Post expansion, the terminal building will have 30 stands for aircraft parking. The low-cost terminal will be expanded to its full capacity of 18 million passengers per year.
An increase in established facilities such as hotels, offices, cargo and maintenance facilities will be undertaken. The total developed area at the end of this phase will be approximately 480,000 m2 (5,200,000 sq ft).
Final phase[edit]
The airport will reach its full maturity after the third phase. An additional floor area of 420,000 m2 (4,500,000 sq ft) will be developed bringing the total built-up area to 900,000 m2 (9,700,000 sq ft).
The ultimate master plan provides for a capacity of 40 million passengers yearly[11] with the accompanying air and ground facilities. Further acquisition of land to the north and south will allow expansion of a third and fourth runway on demand.
Cargo terminal[edit]
The state-of-the-art cargo terminal has implemented a concept of an integrated cargo facility housing domestic and international facilities under one roof. The Air Cargo Complex has a built-in area of 14,330 m2 (154,200 sq ft). The complex is a modular building with a capacity to handle cargo throughput of 100,000 MT annually. It has dedicated cargo apron facilities for handling regular and freighter operations.[13]

In this cosmic snapshot, the spectacularly symmetrical wings of Hen 2-437 show up in a magnificent icy blue hue. Hen 2-437 is a planetary nebula, one of around 3000 such objects known to reside within the Milky Way.
Located within the faint northern constellation of Vulpecula (The Fox), Hen 2-437 was first identified in 1946 by Rudolph Minkowski, who later also discovered the famous and equally beautiful M2-9 (otherwise known as the Twin Jet Nebula). Hen 2-437 was added to a catalogue of planetary nebula over two decades later by astronomer and NASA astronaut Karl Gordon Henize.
Planetary nebulae such as Hen 2-437 form when an aging low-mass star — such as the Sun — reaches the final stages of life. The star swells to become a red giant, before casting off its gaseous outer layers into space. The star itself then slowly shrinks to form a white dwarf, while the expelled gas is slowly compressed and pushed outwards by stellar winds. As shown by its remarkably beautiful appearance, Hen 2-437 is a bipolar nebula — the material ejected by the dying star has streamed out into space to create the two icy blue lobes pictured here.

It is being developed in three phases, and when completed will provide infrastructure for 40 million passengers annually.[9] After the first phase of development, it will accommodate 10 million passengers a year.[9] The cost of the project is INR 24.7 billion (US$560 million).[10] The airport is being built on an area of 5,500 acres (2,200 ha) making it the largest airport in India in terms of area. It was designed by the UK engineering design firm Arup, which designed Dubai Terminal 3 and Beijing Terminal 3.[11]
First phase[edit]
In the first phase of development, the 105,300 m2 (1,133,000 sq ft) Terminal 1, with the capacity to handle 14 million passengers per annum has been constructed. Terminal 1 has 18 contact and 36 remote stands for aircraft parking. Other buildings, including the air traffic control tower, technical building, cargo hangars (100,000 tonnes capacity), maintenance hangars, utilities under a combined area of 49,500 m2 (533,000 sq ft) have been developed. An 1800-car parking lot in front of Terminal 1 is operational for the convenience of passengers and visitors. A hotel has been constructed in this phase.
Air traffic control tower[edit]
Cafe and Shops in Terminal, Hyderabad Airport
The ATC tower is 75 m (246 ft) tall and has a column-free perimeter to give uninterrupted views of the airfield.[12]
Second phase[edit]
In the second phase of the airport development, Terminal 1 will be expanded to an area of 260,000 m2 (2,800,000 sq ft) to cater to the growing demand. Post expansion, the terminal building will have 30 stands for aircraft parking. The low-cost terminal will be expanded to its full capacity of 18 million passengers per year.
An increase in established facilities such as hotels, offices, cargo and maintenance facilities will be undertaken. The total developed area at the end of this phase will be approximately 480,000 m2 (5,200,000 sq ft).
Final phase[edit]
The airport will reach its full maturity after the third phase. An additional floor area of 420,000 m2 (4,500,000 sq ft) will be developed bringing the total built-up area to 900,000 m2 (9,700,000 sq ft).
The ultimate master plan provides for a capacity of 40 million passengers yearly[11] with the accompanying air and ground facilities. Further acquisition of land to the north and south will allow expansion of a third and fourth runway on demand.
Cargo terminal[edit]
The state-of-the-art cargo terminal has implemented a concept of an integrated cargo facility housing domestic and international facilities under one roof. The Air Cargo Complex has a built-in area of 14,330 m2 (154,200 sq ft). The complex is a modular building with a capacity to handle cargo throughput of 100,000 MT annually. It has dedicated cargo apron facilities for handling regular and freighter operations.[13]
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (IATA: HYD, ICAO: VOHS), also known as Hyderabad International Airport, or simply RGIA, is an international airport serving the metropolis of Hyderabad located at Shamshabad, about 22 km (14 mi) south of Hyderabad.
It is named after former Prime Minister of India, Rajiv Gandhi. It replaced the former international airport at Begumpet and commercial flight operations began on 23 March 2008. Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is the second public-private partnership venture after Cochin International Airport.Its Domestic terminal is named after former CM of united Andhra Pradesh Late NT Ramo Rao. In 2010–11, it was the sixth busiest in India by international and overall passenger traffic.[6]
The airport features as the top among Indian airports in the ranking of world airports for the year 2013 by Skytrax.[7] It serves as a hub for SpiceJet, Lufthansa Cargo and Blue Dart Aviation and as a focus city for Air India, Jet Airways, and JetLite.
Development[edit]
Design and construction began in September 2005, and the airport was opened in March 2008.[8] The project is a public-private joint venture between GMR Group, Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad and the government of Telangana and Airports Authority of India (AAI). GMR Group holds 63% of the equity, MAHB 11%, while the government of Telangana and Airports Authority of India each hold 13%.[1]

M2-9 is a striking example of a "butterfly" or a bipolar planetary nebula. Another more revealing name might be the "Twin Jet Nebula." If the nebula is sliced across the star, each side of it appears much like a pair of exhausts from jet engines. Indeed, because of the nebula's shape and the measured velocity of the gas, in excess of 200 miles per second, astronomers believe that the description as a super-supersonic jet exhaust is quite apt. Ground-based studies have shown that the nebula's size increases with time, suggesting that the stellar outburst that formed the lobes occurred just 1,200 years ago.
The central star in M2-9 is known to be one of two very close stars that orbit one another at perilously close distances. It is even possible that one star is being engulfed by the other. Astronomers suspect the gravity of one star pulls weakly bound gas from the surface of the other and flings it into a thin, dense disk that surrounds both stars and extends well into space.
The disk can actually be seen in shorter exposure images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. It measures approximately 10 times the diameter of Pluto's orbit. Models of the type that are used to design jet engines ("hydrodynamics") show that such a disk can successfully account for the jet-exhaust-like appearance of M2-9. The high-speed wind from one of the stars rams into the surrounding disk, which serves as a nozzle. The wind is deflected in a perpendicular direction and forms the pair of jets that we see in the nebula's image. This is much the same process that takes place in a jet engine: The burning and expanding gases are deflected by the engine walls through a nozzle to form long, collimated jets of hot air at high speeds.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Buenos Aires City Hall (Spanish: Palacio Municipal de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires; lit. "Municipal Palace") was, until 2015, the seat of the Office of the Chief of Government of Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina. From its construction in 1914 to the reformation of the city's constitution in 1996, the building was the seat of the City Municipality. It faces the Plaza de Mayo, across from the Casa Rosada presidential palace, in the barrio of Monserrat.
Since 2015, the Office of the Chief of Government has been located at a new building in the barrio of Parque Patricios. The City Hall still houses various government offices of the city government.
The 1880 Federalization of Buenos Aires was followed by a boom in foreign trade and European immigration, and in 1890, Mayor Francisco P. Bollini commissioned the construction of a new city hall. The building would replace what had been the city government's offices since 1860 - the second floor of police headquarters; the city had grown dramatically since then, and the space had become inadequate.
Bollini's announced project had been immediately preceded by the Panic of 1890, however, and the effect of this crisis on the city's leading source of tax revenue British investment, led to plans of a relatively modest scale. Among the cost-saving measures was the city's enlistment of the Assistant Minister of Public Works, Juan Cagnoni, as chief architect, as well as the decision to build on the site of the outmoded police headquarters. Decorative tilework and chandeliers from the adjacent Zuberbühler house, which had recently been expropriated to make way for the Avenida de Mayo, were likewise salvaged for use in the upcoming city hall (where they remain to the present day).
The cornerstone laying ceremony was held on New Year's Eve 1890, for which the Mayor contributed a time capsule which included the construction permit among other mementoes. The works themselves cost the city a modest 150,000 pesos (US$75,000), and were completed in 1892. Inaugurated in March 1893, the new city hall originally housed 860 m² (9,200 ft²), and was only a little more spacious than the earlier offices. This problem was ultimately resolved by the 1911 acquisition of an adjacent residential lot, which allowed the expansion of the city hall to nearly double. Designed in the same Second Empire style with which Cagnoni designed the first part, the engineering firm of Bonneu Ibero, Parodi & Figini completed the annex in 1914. A connection to the adjacent House of Culture was opened following the latter's acquisition by the city in 1988.

James Cook's HMB Endeavour.
(formerly Whitby cat collier Earl of Pembroke).
.
Whitby cats: Box-shaped merchant sailing ships designed to carry coal and timber. Their flat bottoms allowed the ships to be driven onto a river flat or beach at high tide, loaded or unloaded at low tide, then floated off again. This was how Cook and his men repaired Endeavour after running aground off east coast of New Holland (on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia) in 1770..
.
Bark versus Barque: All surviving British Admiralty documentation of 1768 titles the ship used by James Cook for his 1768-1771 voyage of discovery as the Bark Endeavour. In the 18th century, ships were classified by hull shape. A ship with a flat bow and square stern was termed a Bark. If the ship did not fit any category and the rank of the captain was Lieutenant, she was also classified Bark. Resolution, Cook's ship on his second and third circumnavigations, was also a Bark but was classified a Sloop due to Cook's promotion to Commander.
.
By the 19th century, ships were classified by rig, not hull shape. A sailing ship with three or more masts, carrying square sails on all but the after mast or mizzen, was called a Barque.

The Mil Mi-6 (NATO reporting name "Hook") was a Soviet/Russian heavy transport helicopter designed by the Mil design bureau and built in large numbers for both military and civil roles.
Design and developmentThe Mi-6 was first flown in September 1957. Getting this large vehicle in the air is no easy task; the Mi-6 has an enormous gearbox, heavier than its engines, and often uses short wings to relieve the load on the rotor in cruise. Not only was it for a long time the largest helicopter in the world, it was also the fastest with a speed of 300 km/h. Its maximum load capacity is 12,000 kg.
When designed in 1954-56 it was by far the largest in the world, and even today its dynamic components of engines, gearbox, rotors and drive shafts are considered state-of-the-art. In its early days this helicopter set many world records, including one for sheer circuit speed at over 211 mph (340 km/h). In 1959-72 a total production of at least 500 was built for various general transport, utility, firefighting and flying-crane duties, the last two sub-types not being fitted with the large fixed wings which in other versions bear part of the lift in cruising flight and thus enable higher speeds to be attained. The twin nose wheels and large low-pressure main wheels do not retract. Normally flown by a crew of no fewer than five, the Mi-6 seats 65 armed troops and can alternatively carry 41 stretcher (litter) patients and two attendants, or a wide range of bulky loads, including vehicles, loaded through rear clamshell doors. In exercises fleets of these aircraft have airlifted many kinds of weapons, including FROG-7 rockets on their PT-76 tracked chassis, as well as large radars and heavy artillery. All Soviet APCs (Armoured personnel carriers), armoured cars and light MICVs (mechanised infantry combat vehicles) can be carried.

TriviaTest pilot N.B. Leshin has set the world record of speed. This event was awarded by the American Helicopter Society.
Small numbers are still in service, most in Siberia plus a small number with the People's Republic of China. The Russian Air Force currently operates 5 Mi-6s.
Several contaminated Mi-6s can be found with the thousands of other pieces of equipment in the "vehicle graveyards" in the Chernobyl disaster alienation zone.

Пожарный вертолёт Ми-6ПЖ разработан в ОКБ-329 М.Л.Миля в 1967 году на базе транспортного вертолёта Ми-6. В этом же году он демонстрировался на авиасалоне в Ле Бурже. В 1971 году изготовлен второй вариант - Ми-6ПЖ2, который успешно прошёл испытания.
Ми-6ПЖ отличался от базового вертолёта отсутствием крыла. Внутри фюзеляжа были установлены бак на 12 т воды с центральной сливной горловиной, бак для пенообразователя, насосы, спасательное оборудование. Для забора воды из водоёма служили опускаемые штанги на поворотно-распределительных опорах. На внешней подвеске вертолёт мог доставлять к месту пожара в специальной сетке 6 мягких полуторатонных баков с огнегасящей жидкостью. Ми-6ПЖ2 отличался новой лафетной установкой с комбинированным стволом в носу фюзеляжа.
6 августа 1967 года при тушении пожара на юге Франции Ми-6ПЖ потерпел катастрофу, в которой погиб лётчик-испытатель Ю.А.Гарнаев (в г. Ле-Ров близ Марселя ему установлен памятник). В 70-х годах несколько вертолётов Ми-6 было переоборудовано в вариант Ми-6ПЖ2. Они неоднократно применялись для тушения лесных пожаров. Один вертолёт в настоящее время является экспонатом музея ВВС в Монино.

By the 19th century ships were classified by rig, not hull shape. A sailing ship with three or more masts, carrying square sails on all but the after mast or mizzen, was called a Barque..
As a Screensaver for quality viewing this size image would suit up to at least a 19" (48 cm) wide screen..

Este arroyo desemboca en el río Paraná a la altura del barrio Arroyito de la ciudad de Rosario. Tiene 19 km de extensión, incluyendo sus tributarios. La Municipalidad de Rosario, ha previsto la generación del Parque Habitacional Ludueña. Debido a las constantes inundaciones con sus consecuentes daños provocados a los habitantes de la ciudad de Rosario, se construyó una represa retardatoria, de tierra (y refuerzos de hormigón armado), que ayuda a retardar los caudales de aguas provenientes de las lluvias torrenciales. Durante 2009, se reacondicionaron los taludes, vandalizados por el tránsito de vehículos tetraciclos de turismo. Durante un tramo de 1,5 km ―al atravesar la región norte de la ciudad de Rosario― el arroyo se encuentra entubado. El entubamiento tiene una sección de 74 m² (9,7 m de diámetro) y finaliza en el Parque Alem (en el barrio Arroyito).
Several years ago I took some pencil's sketches of beautiful St. Gilgen. This week I found one sketch and tried to transfer it to watercolor. Here it is:

Georg Stage "is a Danish iron-hulled, fully rigged, three-masted sailing ship. Its first tour started on 24 April 1935. It has since been refitted several times, most recently with the installation of a Volvo Penta main propulsion engine on 368 kilowatts (493 hp) in 2007.[1] Over a length of 54 m (177 ft), a width of 8.4 m (28 ft) and draft of 4.2 m (14 ft) the ship spawns 20 sails with a total area of 860 m2 (9,300 sq ft), with the tallest mast extending 31 m (102 ft) above deck height."

From ground-based telescopes, the so-called "ant nebula" (Menzel 3, or Mz 3) resembles the head and thorax of a garden-variety ant. This dramatic Hubble Space Telescope image, showing 10 times more detail, reveals the "ant's" body as a pair of fiery lobes protruding from a dying, Sun-like star.
The Hubble image directly challenges old ideas about the last stages in the lives of stars. By observing Sun-like stars as they approach their deaths, the Hubble image of Mz 3 — along with pictures of other planetary nebulae — shows that our Sun's fate probably will be more interesting, complex, and striking than astronomers once imagined.
Though approaching the violence of an explosion, the ejection of gas from the dying star at the center of Mz 3 has intriguing symmetrical patterns unlike the chaotic patterns expected from an ordinary explosion. Scientists using Hubble would like to understand how a spherical star can produce such prominent, non-spherical symmetries in the gas that it ejects.
One possibility is that the central star of Mz 3 has a closely orbiting companion that exerts strong gravitational tidal forces, which shape the outflowing gas. For this to work, the orbiting companion star would have to be close to the dying star, about the distance of Earth from the Sun. At that distance the orbiting companion star wouldn't be far outside the hugely bloated hulk of the dying star. It's even possible that the dying star has consumed its companion, which now orbits inside of it.
A second possibility is that, as the dying star spins, its strong magnetic fields are wound up into complex shapes. Charged winds moving at speeds up to 1,000 kilometers per second from the star, much like those in our Sun's solar wind but millions of times denser, are able to follow the twisted field lines on their way out into space. These dense winds can be rendered visible by ultraviolet light from the hot central star or from highly supersonic collisions with the ambient gas that excites the material into florescence.
No other planetary nebula observed by Hubble resembles Mz 3 very closely. M2-9 comes close, but the outflow speeds in Mz 3 are up to 10 times larger than those of M2-9. Interestingly, the very massive, young star Eta Carinae shows a very similar outflow pattern.
Astronomers used Hubble to observe this planetary nebula, Mz 3, in July 1997 with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. One year later, astronomers again snapped pictures of Mz 3 using slightly different filters. This intriguing image is a composite of several filters from each of the two datasets.

M2-9 is a striking example of a "butterfly" or a bipolar planetary nebula. Another more revealing name might be the "Twin Jet Nebula." If the nebula is sliced across the star, each side of it appears much like a pair of exhausts from jet engines. Indeed, because of the nebula's shape and the measured velocity of the gas, in excess of 200 miles per second, astronomers believe that the description as a super-supersonic jet exhaust is quite apt. Ground-based studies have shown that the nebula's size increases with time, suggesting that the stellar outburst that formed the lobes occurred just 1,200 years ago.
The central star in M2-9 is known to be one of a very close pair which orbit one another at perilously close distances. It is even possible that one star is being engulfed by the other. Astronomers suspect the gravity of one star pulls weakly bound gas from the surface of the other and flings it into a thin, dense disk that surrounds both stars and extends well into space.
The disk can actually be seen in shorter exposure images obtained with Hubble. It measures approximately 10 times the diameter of Pluto's orbit. Models of the type that are used to design jet engines ("hydrodynamics") show that such a disk can successfully account for the jet-exhaust-like appearance of M2-9. The high-speed wind from one of the stars rams into the surrounding disk, which serves as a nozzle. The wind is deflected in a perpendicular direction and forms the pair of jets that we see in the nebula's image. This is much the same process that takes place in a jet engine: The burning and expanding gases are deflected by the engine walls through a nozzle to form long, collimated jets of hot air at high speeds.
M2-9 is 2,100 light-years away in the constellation Ophiucus. The observation was taken August 2, 1997, by Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. In this image, neutral oxygen is shown in red, once-ionized nitrogen in green, and twice-ionized oxygen in blue.
