The right-most galaxy, resembling a zero, exhibits a clumpy, blue ring of intense star formation... Arp 147 lies in the constellation Cetus, and it is more than 400 million light-years away from Earth." ------------ The weirdest picture you're going to see all day:  ------------ Is it water, then?  ------------ Humongous "Kran" Crane Polish company Kran makes some of the tallest cranes - see one such crane working on a church that looks like a disguised rocket:    (top photo by Cesary Skorka) Cranes sometimes fall... see this page of Crane Accidents. ------------ Waiting for the wind  (photo by Christopher Furlong, Getty Images) ------------ My Other Car is a Jet Arthur van Poppel has built a jet that's so small that you can drive it around your mall parking lot.
