Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have imaged the largest protoplanetary disk ever observed circling a young star. For the first time in visible light, Hubble has revealed the disk is unexpectedly chaotic and turbulent, with wisps of material stretching much farther above and below the disk than astronomers have seen in any similar system. Strangely, more extended filaments are only visible on one side of the disk. The findings, which published Tuesday in The Astrophysical Journal, mark a new milestone for Hubble and shed light on how planets may form in extreme environments, as NASA’s missions lead humanity’s exploration of the universe and our place in it.
Located roughly 1,000 light-years from Earth, IRAS 23077+6707, nicknamed “Dracula’s Chivito,” spans nearly 400 billion miles — 40 times the diameter of our solar system to the outer edge of the Kuiper Belt of cometary bodies. The disk obscures the young star within it, which scientists believe may be either a hot, massive star, or a pair of stars. And the enormous disk is not only the largest known planet-forming disk; it’s also shaping up to be one of the most unusual.

“It is of dangerous consequence to represent to man how near he is to the level of beasts, without showing him at the same time his greatness. It is likewise dangerous to let him see his greatness without his meanness. It is more dangerous yet to leave him ignorant of either; but very beneficial that he should be made sensible of both.” ~ Blaise Pascal
Rail Express Sysytems liveried class 86/2 locomotive 86243 along with a Propelling Control Vehicle (PCV), head south past Heamies Farm, situated just north of Norton Bridge on the WCML.
Propelling Control Vehicle's (PCV) are former BR Eastleigh 1955 built Great Eastern Main Line Class 307 driving trailer cars, of which 42 were converted at Hunslet-Barclay in Kilmarnock between 1994 to 1996, so this very smart looking PCV could be one of the last converted on delivery.

The Navigli are a system of canals and waterways whose construction lasted 7 centuries (from XII to XIX century) that connected the lake Maggiore, the lake Como, the Ticino river and the Po river and also connecting Milan with Switzerland, North Eastern and Western Europe and to the sea and irrigate and productive huge areas. In just 35 years had been built 90 km of waterways and the first canal was realised in the XII century when began the construction of the Naviglio Grande with a system of dams invented by Leonardo Da Vinci in the XV century. (you can still see Leonardo’s Dam along Naviglio Pavese). Then, in 1457, Francesco Sforza, Lord of Milano, ordered the realization of another Naviglio, the Naviglio della Martesana, and in 1482 Ludovico il Moro commissioned Leonardo Da Vinci to plan a system to connect Lake Como to Milan and you can find drafts at the Museum of Navigli. The Famous Duomo di Milano has been build with the Marple coming via these canals. In 1805 Napoleon ordered to complete the Naviglio Pavese used also for trasportation of the Candoglia marble for the construction of the Duomo Cathedral. Then in the second half of the XIX century trains and railways become the first means of transport and the Navigli canals were less used and finally abandoned when cars appeared and only used by industries that polluted waters.
Большой Канал (Naviglio Grande), судоходный уже во второй половине XIII века, является наиболее значимым достижением инженерии водных ресурсов на территории Ломбардии. Канал, проходя через г.Аббьятеграссо (Abbiategrasso, провинция Милана), соединяет реку Тичино (fiume Ticino) с Миланом. Вдоль него расположены многочисленные усадьбы знатных семей, построенные в период с XVI по XIX века. Наличие большого торгового пути в эпоху правления династий Висконти и Сфорца было значимым для строительства города: кандолийский мрамор, используемый при строительстве Миланского Собора (Duomo), розовый бавенский гранит и другие горные породы, а также песок и древесина доставлялись с озера Маджоре (lago Maggiore) посредством системы котлованов и судоходных каналов, созданной с использованием средневековых оборонительных рвов. Этот водный путь, строительство которого было завершено во второй половине XV века, известен как кольцо каналов (cerchia dei Navigli). Вдоль него располагались многочисленные открытые склады и погреба, называемые щостре (sciostre). Мрамор для строительства Миланского Собора (Duomo) грузился на баржи со знаменитой надписью AUF (от латинского «ad usum fabricae» - «для использования при строительстве»), которая гарантировала свободное прохождение груза через таможенные барьеры. Баржи причаливали к берегу небольшого озера Санто Стефано (laghetto Santo Stefano). Квартал Навильи (Navigli) с его торговыми и ремесленными лавками, многочисленными ресторанами и барами, художественными мастерскими, расположенными на берегах каналов и вдоль бичевой тропы, становится одним из наиболее оживленных мест города. Стержнем квартала является Дарсена (Darsena), искусственный водоем, построенный в 1603 г. и превратившийся в настоящий городской порт. В него стекаются воды Большого Канала (Naviglio Grande) и реки Олона (Olona, в настоящее время протекающей под землей), в нем берет свое начало Павийский Канал (Naviglio Pavese). До перекрытия, произошедшего в 1929 - 1930 гг., внутреннее кольцо Каналов также наполняло Дарсену водой через шлюз Виаренна (Viarenna) (в настоящее время на этом месте проходит улица Конка дель Навильо (Conca del Naviglio).

A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system consisting of stars, an interstellar medium of gas and dust, and dark matter.[1][2] The name is from the Greek root galaxias [γαλαξίας], meaning "milky," a reference to the Milky Way galaxy. Typical galaxies range from dwarfs with as few as ten million[3] (107) stars up to giants with one trillion[4] (1012) stars, all orbiting a common center of mass. Galaxies can also contain many multiple star systems, star clusters, and various interstellar clouds. The Sun is one of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy; the Solar System includes the Earth and all the other objects that orbit the Sun.
Historically, galaxies have been categorized according to their apparent shape (usually referred to as their visual morphology). A common form is the elliptical galaxy,[5] which has an ellipse-shaped light profile. Spiral galaxies are disk-shaped assemblages with curving, dusty arms. Galaxies with irregular or unusual shapes are known as peculiar galaxies, and typically result from disruption by the gravitational pull of neighboring galaxies. Such interactions between nearby galaxies, which may ultimately result in galaxies merging, may induce episodes of significantly increased star formation, producing what is called a starburst galaxy. Small galaxies that lack a coherent structure could also be referred to as irregular galaxies.[6]
There are probably more than 100 billion (1011) galaxies in the observable universe.[7] Most galaxies are 1,000 to 100,000[4] parsecs in diameter and are usually separated by distances on the order of millions of parsecs (or megaparsecs).[8] Intergalactic space (the space between galaxies) is filled with a tenuous gas of an average density less than one atom per cubic meter. The majority of galaxies are organized into a hierarchy of associations called clusters, which, in turn, can form larger groups called superclusters. These larger structures are generally arranged into sheets and filaments, which surround immense voids in the universe.[9]
Although it is not yet well understood, dark matter appears to account for around 90% of the mass of most galaxies. Observational data suggests that supermassive black holes may exist at the center of many, if not all, galaxies. They are proposed to be the primary cause of active galactic nuclei found at the core of some galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy appears to harbor at least one such object within its nucleus.[10]
