From Wikipedia:
Messier 13 or M13, also designated NGC 6205 and sometimes called the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules or the Hercules Globular Cluster, is a globular cluster of several hundred thousand stars in the constellation of Hercules.
M13 was discovered by Edmond Halley in 1714, and cataloged by Charles Messier on June 1, 1764.
About one third of the way from Vega to Arcturus, four bright stars in Hercules form the Keystone asterism, the broad torso of the hero. M13 can be seen in this asterism 2⁄3 of the way north (by west) from Zeta to Eta Herculis. Although only telescopes with great light-gathering capability fully resolve the stars of the cluster, M13 may be visible to the naked eye depending on circumstances. With a low-power telescope, Messier 13 looks like a comet or fuzzy patch. The cluster is visible throughout the year from latitudes greater than 36 degrees north, with the longest visibility during Northern Hemisphere spring and summer.
With an apparent magnitude of 5.8, it is barely visible with the naked eye on clear nights. Its diameter is about 23 arcminutes and it is readily viewable in small telescopes.
In traditional binoculars, the Hercules Globular Cluster appears as a round patch of light. At least four inches of telescope aperture resolves stars in M13's outer extent as small pinpoints of light. However, only larger telescopes resolve stars further into the center of the cluster.
About 145 light-years in diameter, M13 is composed of several hundred thousand stars, the brightest of which is a red giant, the variable star V11, also known as V1554 Herculis, with an apparent visual magnitude of 11.95. M13 is 22,200–25,000 light-years away from Earth, and the globular cluster is one of over one hundred that orbit the center of the Milky Way.
Single stars in this globular cluster were first resolved in 1779. Compared to the stars in the neighborhood of the Sun, the stars of the M13 population are more than a hundred times more densely packed. They are so close together that they sometimes collide and produce new stars. The newly formed, young stars, so-called "blue stragglers", are particularly interesting to astronomers.
The 1974 Arecibo message, which contained encoded information about the human race, DNA, atomic numbers, Earth's position and other information, was beamed from the Arecibo Observatory radio telescope towards M13 as an experiment in contacting potential extraterrestrial civilizations in the cluster. The cluster will move through space during the transit time; opinions differ as to whether or not the cluster will be in a position to receive the message by the time that it arrives.
The last two variables (V63 and V64) were discovered from Spain in April 2021 and March 2022 respectively.
The Plaxton 4000, built on Neoplan subframes was a awesome beast but on beset with issues mostly fires, This Jan 89 shot shows a three year old one reduced to a wreck at Stagecoach Walnut Grove Perth, on ething for sure its passenger carring days were over.

Owners of the BMW 3 Series (E46 models) have been reporting cracks and damage in the rear subframe area of their vehicles. The issue was also common on the earlier 3 Series models and unfortunately, have reoccurred with the E46 from 1999-2006. This issue specifically appears in the rear mounting points of the subframe, which can tear out from their position in the sheet metal. This occurs as the rear differential transmits the torsional load from the engine through the subframe, and then, into the chassis of the vehicle. This constant abuse leads to fatigue in the metal, causing cracks and separation from the chassis.
The parts used for this repair includes:

My wife's daily driver of seven years was recently diagnosed with a rusted subframe. It was a repair that we could have afforded, but at almost fifteen years old--and also having spent almost all of that time (we presume) in the midwest--the entire car is slowly turning to rust and it is not worth our time to get it repaired.
We had decided that we would try and sell the car on Craigslist, so we spent some time cleaning the car and getting it ready. Today was going to be the final push, getting it washed and taking photos of it and making up a listing. We washed the car at home, then decided to take it to Marathon to vacuum it out before finding a parking lot to take photos in. Even from the house to the gas station, the car was acting incredibly janky, and by the time we got it to our chosen parking lot and started taking photos of it, it wasn't long before we gave up--and decided to junk the car.
We drove it home and called Victory Auto Wreckers, who will be coming to tow it away tomorrow. Here are some photos of the beloved Cavalier for posterity's sake.

The submarine USS Torsk (SS-423) is credited with sinking the last enemy vessel in WWII. It went on to serve the U.S. Navy until 1968. It is now part of the Baltimore Maritime Museum and can be toured for a nominal fee... but watch your head in there... it's pretty tight!
