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."
Finally, and without even trying, I get a first post. *g*

bah... i hate sites that require a cookie. it's odd that so many people freak over their 'right to privacy' being violated by the gov't, when everyday companies are doing it right there in front of our noses.

I am posting this to BEG slashdotters to stop all the gay jokes and gay bashing.
We are supposed to be a community of geeks - geeks have always been open-minded and if anyone should accept someone that is different, it is geeks.
So what if someone likes the feeling of another man's lips wrapped firmly around his penis? They do NOT deserve our ridicule.
Please slashdot, quit making fun of homosexuals. It makes us all look like idiots.
Mod me as offtopic if you like, but this needed to be said.
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 see that we have not forgoten our main goal of conqurering space, while in the middle of conquerering the middle east.
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.
