Hubble Captures a Protoplanetary Disk
Astroturtle writes "The Hubble Space Telescope's new Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) has
captured a detailed image of spiral rings in a distant protoplanetary
disk -- the pancake-shaped cloud of gas and dust around a young star in
which planets are expected to condense. But contrary to earlier
suggestions, the intricate structure of this particular disk is probably
caused by a nearby companion star rather than by embedded planets starting
to form."
this commander Hubble and what are the Iraqis doing with protoplanetary disk ???
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
I'm sick of misinformed people like you bitching about things you know little about. A cookie can't take anything you don't provide and they are vital to most interactive/dynamic websites. All this crap about cookies violating privacy started when ad companies were having banner images set a cookie to identify you and using the HTTP_REFERER to snag the URL of the page the banner is being loaded from and using that to profile you and pick ads that you might be more interested in. Then all of the sudden this mass-hysteria against cookies among the under-informed. Suddenly cookies could be used to steal all your personal information.
Lay off it
actually, as a Californian, I'll tell you exactly what happened with the power comapnies: The back-end suppliers were de-regulated without removing the rate caps from the market-end. The result was definately NOT privatized electricity, and absolutely doomed to fail whether it was constructed in a communist or capitalist environment. The idea of having every company owned and run by the government (pure communism) is just as bad as the idea that government should have no power to break monopolies (pure laissez faire capitalism). In both cases, power accumulates to an unacceptable degree within the hands of too few people. Examples: Soviet Russia. Sorry to break the news, but it fell. Another example: Debeers. Diamonds are practically worthless. The only reason they get such a high asking price is that one company controls over 90% of the world's supply and they can keep it lower than demand. It's the same game OPEC plays.
Progressivism is definately the wrong term for a theory that demands cradle-to-grave governmental hand-holding. It's not forward thinking. It's simply restoring the monarchial powers of state without simply giving the throne to a single family. It is just as conservative wanting the government to step aside and allow the establishment of a corporate fiefdom.
