Fermilab Antiproton Source
The antiproton is the antiparticle of the proton. Antiprotons are stable, but they are typically short-lived since any collision with a proton will cause both particles to be annihilated in a burst of energy.
The existence of the antiproton with −1 electric charge, opposite to the +1 electric charge of the proton, was predicted by Paul Dirac in his 1933 Nobel Prize lecture. Dirac received the Nobel Prize for his previous 1928 publication of his Dirac Equation that predicted the existence of positive and negative solutions to the Energy Equation (E = mc^2) of Einstein and the existence of the positron, the antimatter analog to the electron, with positive charge and opposite spin.
The antiproton was experimentally confirmed in 1955 by University of California, Berkeley physicists Emilio Segrè and Owen Chamberlain, for which they were awarded the 1959 Nobel Prize in Physics. An antiproton consists of two up antiquark and one down antiquark (uud). The properties of the antiproton that have been measured all match the corresponding properties of the proton, with the exception that the antiproton has opposite electric charge and magnetic moment than the proton. The question of how matter is different from antimatter remains an open problem, in order to explain how our universe survived the Big Bang and why so little antimatter exists today.

Cosplay (コスプレ, kosupure), a portmanteau of the words costume play, is a performance art in which participants called cosplayers wear costumes and fashion accessories to represent a specific character. Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture, and a broader use of the term "cosplay" applies to any costumed role-playing in venues apart from the stage. Any entity that lends itself to dramatic interpretation may be taken up as a subject and it is not unusual to see genders switched. Favorite sources include anime, cartoons, comic books, manga, television series, and video games.

Looking for crowd sourced help here. I found this image in a sleeve of negatives dated 1986 but I have no idea where it was taken. My guess is Springfield, IL. Anyone else know?

Edited MeerKAT image of the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, which looks rather energetic and busy.
Image source: chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2021/gcenter/
Original caption: Threads of superheated gas and magnetic fields are weaving a tapestry of energy at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. A new image of this new cosmic masterpiece was made using a giant mosaic of data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa.
The new panorama of the Galactic Center builds on previous surveys from Chandra and other telescopes. This latest version expands Chandra's high-energy view farther above and below the plane of the Galaxy — that is, the disk where most of the Galaxy's stars reside — than previous imaging campaigns. In the image featured in our main graphic, X-rays from Chandra are orange, green, blue and purple, showing different X-ray energies, and the radio data from MeerKAT are shown in lilac and gray. The main features in the image are shown in a labeled version.
One thread is particularly intriguing because it has X-ray and radio emission intertwined. It points perpendicular to the plane of the galaxy and is about 20 light years long but only one-hundredth that size in width.
A new study of the X-ray and radio properties of this thread by Q. Daniel Wang of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst suggests these features are bound together by thin strips of magnetic fields. This is similar to what was observed in a previously studied thread. (Both threads are labeled with red rectangles in the image. The newly studied one in the lower left, G0.17-0.41, is much farther away from the plane of the Galaxy.) Such strips may have formed when magnetic fields aligned in different directions, collided, and became twisted around each other in a process called magnetic reconnection. This is similar to the phenomenon that drives energetic particles away from the Sun and is responsible for the space weather that sometimes affects Earth.
A detailed study of these threads teaches us more about the Galactic space weather astronomers have witnessed throughout the region. This weather is driven by volatile phenomena such as supernova explosions, close-quartered stars blowing off hot gas, and outbursts of matter from regions near Sagittarius A*, our Galaxy's supermassive black hole.
Also labeled in the main image are X-rays reflected from dust around bright X-ray sources (green circles), Sagittarius A*, and, in purple circles and ellipses, the Arches and Quintuplet Clusters, DB00-58 and DB00-6, 1E 1743.1-28.43, the Cold Gas Cloud and Sagittarius C.
In addition to the threads, the new panorama reveals other wonders in the Galactic Center. For example, Wang's paper reports large plumes of hot gas, which extend for about 700 light years above and below the plane of the galaxy, seen here in greater detail than ever before. (They are much smaller than the Fermi Bubbles which extend for about 25,000 light years above and below the plane of the galaxy.) These plumes may represent galactic-scale outflows, analogous to the particles driven away from the Sun. The gas is likely heated by supernova explosions and many recent magnetic reconnections occurring near the center of the galaxy. Such reconnection events in the Galaxy are normally not sufficiently energetic to be detected in X-rays, except for the most energetic ones at the center of the Galaxy, where the interstellar magnetic field is much stronger.
Magnetic reconnection events may play a major role in heating the gas existing between stars (the interstellar medium). This process may also be responsible for accelerating particles to produce cosmic rays like those observed on Earth and driving turbulence in the interstellar medium that triggers new generations of star birth.
The image shows that the magnetic threads tend to occur at the outer boundaries of the large plumes of hot gas. This suggests that the gas in the plumes is driving magnetic fields that collide to create the threads.
The paper by Wang describing these results appears in the June issue of the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, and a preprint is available online. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center manages the Chandra program. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory's Chandra X-ray Center controls science from Cambridge, Massachusetts, and flight operations from Burlington, Massachusetts.

Abe BIRNBAUM •
* 18 November 1898 in New York City, NY.
✝︎ 19 June 1966 in Lenox Hospital, New York.
“Metropolitan Opera Audience”
The New Yorker — October 24, 1959
Issue 1810 — Volume 35 — Number 36.
About BIRNBAUM ↓
Abe Birnbaum painted nearly 200 covers for The New Yorker magazine.
Mr. Birnbaum's last New Yorker cover appeared on the issue of May 28. In the bold and simple lines that were the stamp of his style, he drew two white sails on blue-green water under a broad blue sky.
Mr. Birnbaum represented people and objects in their most uncomplicated terms. A Lincoln Day cover several years ago showed only the hint of a stovepipe hat and some red, white, and blue bunting.
He contributed more portraits and drawings to the magazine's Profile and Reporter at Large sections than any other artist. His portraits, done in pen and ink and brush, reduced the face in one or two lines to what it was supposed to be a profile.
▪️Versatile Illustrator
Mr. Birnbaum did portraits of Henry Moore, the sculptor, and Abe H. Feder, a theatrical lighting man. In addition, he drew hockey players, hurricanes and illustrations for articles on television, smoking and cricket.
The magazine also used thousands of Mr. Birnbaum's spot drawings on inside pages that punctuated and indented columns of type. For one long story on burglary, he drew a keyhole that was described as "the most intensely keyhole keyhole there has ever been."
Mr. Birnbaum was an exacting craftsman. In the studio of his home in Croton, N.Y. surrounded by most of his 15 cats, he would draw an object such as a chair 200 times or more to get it right.
"Nothing is ugly," he said often. "Everything is what it is."
Mr. Birnbaum also drew illustrations for Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and The New York Times Sunday drama section. He had illustrated several books, including "Green Eyes,” which a jury picked as the best-illustrated children's book of 1953. The most recent book he illustrated is another juvenile title, “Did a Bear Just Walk There,” by Ann Rand.
▪️ At Art Students League
Born in Manhattan, Mr. Birnbaum studied at the Art Students League under Boardman Robinson and Kenneth Hayes Miller.
Mr. Birnbaum had held exhibitions at the Carnegie Institute and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
