of glowing dust and gas, bombarded by the energetic radiation of new stars, this placid name hides a dramatic reality. The Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a dramatic view of gas and dust sculpted by intense radiation from hot young stars deep in the heart of the Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8). This spectacular object is named after the wide, lagoon-shaped dust lane that crosses the glowing gas of the nebula. This structure is prominent in wide-field images, but cannot be seen in this close-up. However the strange billowing shapes and sandy texture visible in this image make the Lagoon Nebula’s watery name eerily appropriate from this viewpoint too. Located four to five thousand light-years away, in the constellation of Sagittarius (the Archer), Messier 8 is a huge region of star birth that stretches across one hundred light-years. Clouds of hydrogen gas are slowly collapsing to form new stars, whose bright ultraviolet rays then light up the surrounding gas in a distinctive shade of red. The wispy tendrils and beach-like features of the nebula are not caused by the ebb and flow of tides, but rather by ultraviolet radiation’s ability to erode and disperse the gas and dust into the distinctive shapes that we see. In recent years astronomers probing the secrets of the Lagoon Nebula have found the first unambiguous proof that star formation by

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called FLICKR PARA LA HISTORIA , and we'd love to have this added to the group!

This is such a great sports history photo, there is so much we can learn just from this one picture. One of the most noticeable things is how the athlete influences the wardrobe. By this I mean that we can appreciate the growth of the skill and strength of the athletes over time, and see that the size of the athlete and the accessories like the gloves have changed. Could you imagine if the modern brutes had these small padded gloves to hit with? We'd be talking career ending blows in a number of bouts.

Those are bag gloves, not boxing gloves for competition.

HENRY ERNEST SCHNAKENBERG (1892-1970) - LISTED AMERICAN ARTIST. "Henry Ernest Schnakenberg, painter was born in New Brighton, New York, on September 14th, 1892. In 1913, he viewed the Armory Show in New York and had his first exposure to modernist art, a life-changing experience for him. Inspired, he enrolled at the Art Students League where his teachers were Kenneth Hayes Miller and John Sloan. During a time when the prevailing trends were away from naturalism, Henry Schnakenberg became one of the most accomplished "naturalistic painters." … www.artnotch.com/list.php?topic=2&pg=4
