This week’s images a view of Earth from the ISS, a dusty galaxy and a labyrinth of troughs make up some of this weeks’ images.
Click the link to see them all.
This picture, taken by Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), shows NGC 4696, the largest galaxy in the Centaurus Cluster. The new images taken with Hubble show the dusty filaments surrounding the centre of this huge galaxy in greater detail than ever before. These filaments loop and curl inwards in an intriguing spiral shape, swirling around the supermassive black hole at such a distance that they are dragged into and eventually consumed by the black hole itself.

Very cool company! We are working on a robotic arm for our robot…nothing like yours. 😊 England? So what do you do there? We arrange for Skype conferences if you ever want to present to the team.

It’s very cool and very new. I design the circuit boards that goo into them.
At some point we might like to present. Perhaps your team could use us as inspiration do a project then write to us about it perhaps?

Yes, do you have any good video clips on your robotic arm or anything else they might watch?
LikeLiked by 1 person
We don’t as our design is very commercially secret. There are a few clips on the website i think. Not much i agree…
