A “cat's tail” appears wrapped around this planetary system in the making.
The Beta Pictoris planetary system is made up of two dusty disks of debris (asteroid, comet, and planet-forming fragments). Thanks to Webb, scientists have discovered a new structure, a tail of dust extending from the secondary disk.
Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) was crucial for detecting the cat’s tail, as it was not revealed at near-infrared wavelengths. MIRI also revealed that the material of the secondary disk and the cat’s tail is hotter than that of the primary disk.
In this image, a coronagraph (the black circle and bar) has been used to block the light of the central star. The scale bar shows that the disks of Beta Pictoris extend for hundreds of astronomical units (AU). (One AU is the average Earth-Sun distance: 93 million miles, or 150 million km.)
Researchers theorize the cat's tail is the result of a dust production event, such as a collision, that occurred about a hundred years ago. They estimate the amount of dust within the cat’s tail to be equivalent to a large main belt asteroid, spread out across 10 billion miles!

This image: NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has imaged star system Beta Pictoris. Webb’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) enabled a team of astronomers to investigate the composition of Beta Pic’s main and secondary debris disks—the latter feature previously detected by the Hubble Space Telescope.
Unexpectedly, Webb’s infrared capabilities detected a new feature of the Beta Pic system: a curvy branch of dust that resembles the shape of a cat’s tail. This tail, only noticeable in the MIRI data, extends from the southwest portion of the secondary debris disk and is estimated to span 10 billion miles.
The dust that forms the tail may be similar to the matter found on the surfaces of comets and asteroids in our solar system. Further analysis is required to understand the origins of the cat’s tail, though the team believes a dust production event—such as a collision between asteroids, comets, or planetesimals—is responsible.
A coronagraph (black circle and two small disks) has been used to block the light of the central star, whose location is marked with a white star shape. In this image, light at 15.5 microns is colored cyan and 23 microns is orange (filters F1550C and F2300C, respectively).

Image description: Star system Beta Pictoris with labels and graphic overlays. A thin, elongated horizontal orange line appears at the center of the frame, extending almost to the edges. This is a debris disk seen edge-on. A white line traces over the orange debris disk and is labeled “main disk plane.” A thin blue-green disk is inclined about five degrees counterclockwise relative to the orange main disk and is highlighted by a blue-green line labeled “extended secondary disk.” Cloudy, translucent gray material is most prominent near the orange main debris disk. Some of the gray material forms a curved feature in the upper right and is marked with a yellow line labeled “cat’s tail.” The central star, represented as a small white star icon, is blocked by an instrument known as a coronagraph, which forms a large black circle at center and two small disks pointing to the upper left and lower right. The background of space is black. In the lower right corner is a white bar labeled “100 A U.”

Polaroid 19-04 beta test film
Polaroid SX70 Supercolor Autofocus
I like this film, which i guess is the one in production now.
Is has a bit of a redish tint on all my expossures, although red colors are a bit muted, compared to the blues and greens in the images.
Polaroid are getting very close to the perfect film withthis one in my opinion.

Prismacolor, Verithin, and KOH-I-NOOR woodless pencils. No blending tools or solution were used. Ultra fine Sharpie to outline seaweed and Beta tail.
This little beta and I went through quite a love/hate relationship. This was my third attempt. I chose a whimsical,flowing style using similar colors and shapes.

This is our new beta fish, Risqué. Josh's friend Sarah rescued him from a wedding centerpiece in New Orleans. He's extraordinarily hardy and has survived things that would kill many a weaker fish. Plus, he belches, which is totally weird.
only full flick of this freestyle piece unfortunately blurry and therefore fecked!
right on a busy road, and finished in rush hour, amongst mad roman drivers.
cheers to the Graff dream shop.

Went to a new location for a sunset shoot yesterday. The day had been overcast and rainy but it brightened up around sunset and the light was pretty good. Unfortunately, I had already taken my shot of the day so this is not part of my P365.
They say watching an aquarium relieves stress. Whoever brought this one to the Help Desk at work may be trying that out.

This is our second beta fish. Legolas quickly replaced Gandalf the Blue after James forgot to transfer him from a temporary bowl after cleaning his tank. We figure he jumped out of the bown (which they are very known to do), and a cat ate him.
Gandalf was never seen again.
Thanks to Marc the NEXTSTEP beta 4 (OPENSTEP Prerelase 1 for Mach) finally available to ordinary people ... it looks preaty much like Mac OS X Developer Preview 1 or 2 to me, well more vice-versa. Preaty slow on 68040 Next Color TurboStation and bugy. The info panle of FileManager (WorkspaceManager) doesnt show. SO here it is TA DA :lol: !!
Talk about a car that literally ruined everything!
The Lancia Beta had promise, it was very stylish and a very good car to drive, performing quite suitable when compared to other machines of similar class.
But once the honeymoon period was over, that's when the problems really sailed into port.
First off was the electrics. Lancia's have never been known for good electrics, and this car was no exception. But critically, the biggest problem was the rust. Show these cars a damp sponge and they'd start to whittle away.
Because of this, the company was laden with thousands of complaints and bad press about the poor conditions of the car. These problems have often been attributed to poor rustproofing techniques as well as the prolonged strikes that plagued Italy at that time rather than the metal's origin.
The corrosion problems could be structural; for instance where the subframe carrying the engine and gearbox was bolted to the underside of the car. The box section to which the rear of the subframe was mounted could corrode badly, causing the subframe to become loose. Although tales of subframes dropping out of vehicles were simply not true, a vehicle with a loose subframe would fail a technical inspection. In actuality, the problem affected almost exclusively 1st Series saloon models and not the Coupé, HPE, Spider or Montecarlo versions.
Eventually the circulation of bad press, thousands of Pounds of compensation and collection of recalls resulted in Lancia being forced to pull out of the British market in 1994, to which it hasn't returned.
