This image taken with a shorter focal length, still a single frame but a more interesting image than previous I think...
This space adventure has clusters of galaxies and sectors, along with aliens who exist outside of corporeal form. I thought this cover suggested some of that complicated nature.

What is the state of R&D, funding, and infrastructure in Europe? This Science|Business Policy Roundtable took place at the UK Representation to the EU in Brussels on 18 October 2012.
Regenerative Medicine is one of the most exciting and promising fields of biomedical research today. Europe currently leads the world in therapeutic applications and medicines in this technology, and has successfully seen the first companies working in the field to spin-out from research universities with EMA approved products currently in the market.
However, with the recent patent ruling by the European Court of Justice and the debate regarding continued funding in Horizon 2020, what challenges exist for Europe to maintain its research lead in this field?
Science|Business hosted a roundtable discussion of thought leaders and policy to make recommendations as to what the EU should do to improve the infrastructure and research climate for new stem cell technologies and regenerative medicines in Europe.

The 6MSP is the formal diplomatic meeting of the 119 States—which as to the date of meeting—had accepted the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, including 19 Signatories.
The Double Cluster in the contellation Perseus consists of two open star clusters positioned next to each other. They are at a distance of about 7,000 light-years. They are visible to the unaided eye from dark-sky locations, and are a splendid sight in binoculars or a a telescope under low power.
Visit to Aernnova.

The Phoenix Cluster is an extraordinary galaxy cluster that is breaking several important astronomical records. The composite image on the left includes an X-ray image from Chandra (purple), an optical image from the 4-m Blanco telescope (red, green and blue), and an ultraviolet image from GALEX (blue). This galaxy cluster has been dubbed the Phoenix Cluster because of the constellation in which it is found, and because of its remarkable properties including an exceptionally high rate of star formation in its center. The artist's illustration on the right depicts the cluster's central galaxy surrounded by hotter (red) and cooler gas (blue). Flowing gas is shown in the ribbon-like structures, and the newly formed stars appear as smaller blue and white dots.
From an early spring (1 April 2014) photo shoot at Shuishang Park in Tianjin, China.
Shuishang Gongyuan (水上公园), or Tianjin Water Park, is easily my favorite city park in Tianjin and – to date – in China. Granted, I haven’t been to nearly enough places in China to make a more comprehensive statement, but of the parks I’ve been to in Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, and Guangzhou, this is easily my favorite.
It’s the largest urban park in the city at a little over 300 acres of space. The park was officially opened in its current state by the communist government in 1951. Previously, it had been known as Green Dragon Pond and has a history that dates back to the first century AD. “With the establishment of Beiyang University and Nankai University at the turn of the 20th century, the waterways of the park became popular for swimming among academic staff and students during the hot summer months.” (Summation via Wikipedia entry.)
The park is quite pleasant year-round. In summer, the lotus pond is bursting with flowers and the photographers who love to shoot them. In spring and fall, various flowers bloom (chrysanthemums in fall, peonies in spring). Winter brings a freezing of the lakes – and there are three: East Lake, West Lake, and South Lake – whereas summer brings a rash of personal boaters.
In addition to leisurely strolling around the grounds with the various pavilions, verandas, and pagodas, the Tianjin Zoo (separate admission) is also on the grounds of the park. Also, there is an amusement park in the northeast corner of the park. Amusement parks are pretty common fare among China’s city parks, which make them slightly different than American city parks.
Shuishang Gongyuan is quite easy to locate. It is nearest the Tianta subway station on line 3 of the Tianjin Metro, about a 5-10 minute walk from any of the exits (though exits C & D are technically the closest). The Tianta TV Tower (whence comes the name of the subway station) is also nearby and quite prominently visible from many places in the park. I’ve yet to venture to the top of the tower, but it would provide an excellent viewing platform for a panoramic view of the park, weather permitting.
