HL Tauri

Protoplanetary disk

HL Tauri (abbreviated HL Tau) is a very young T Tauri star^[5] in the constellation Taurus, approximately 450 light-years (140 pc) from Earth^[1] in the Taurus Molecular Cloud.^[6] The luminosity and effective temperature of HL Tauri imply that its age is less than 100,000 years.

Laniakea

Published on Sep 3, 2014

Superclusters – regions of space that are densely packed with galaxies – are the biggest structures in the Universe. But scientists have struggled to define exactly where one supercluster ends and another begins. Now, a team based in Hawaii has come up with a new technique that maps the Universe according to the flow of galaxies across space. Redrawing the boundaries of the cosmic map, they redefine our home supercluster and name it Laniakea, which means ‘immeasurable heaven’ in Hawaiian.

Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash

In 1933 Erwin George Baker drove across America in a Graham-Paige model 57 Blue Streak 8, averaging over 50mph in 53 hours and 30 minutes.

The Cannonball Run, was an unofficial, unsanctioned automobile race run five times in the 1970s from New York to Redondo Beach, California. The initial cross-country run was accomplished by Brock Yates; his son, Brock Yates, Jr.; Steve Smith; and friend Jim Williams beginning on May 3, 1971 in a 1971 Dodge Custom Sportsman van, called the "Moon Trash II". They made it in 40 hours and 51 minutes.

 In 1979 Dave Yarborough and Dave Heinz  made it in 32 hours 51 minutes, in a 1979 Jaguar XJS - the record for the series of four illegal, "secret" races.
