Hubble catches a streak of stars in side-on view of spiral galaxy

Feb. 10, 2013 ? The Hubble Space Telescope captured a thin, glittering streak of stars in a new view of the spiral galaxy ESO 121-6, which lies in the southern constellation of Pictor (The Painter's Easel).

Viewed almost exactly side-on, the intricate structure of the swirling arms is hidden, but the full length of the galaxy can be seen -- including the intense glow from the central bulge, a dense region of tightly packed young stars sitting at the center of the spiral arms.

Tendrils of dark dust can be seen across the frame, partially obscuring the bright center of the galaxy and continuing out towards the smattering of stars at its edges, where the dust lanes and shapes melt into the inky background. Numerous nearby stars and galaxies are visible as small smudges in the surrounding sky, and the brightest stars are dazzlingly prominent towards the bottom left of the image.

ESO 121-6 is a galaxy with patchy, loosely-wound arms and a relatively faint central bulge. It actually belongs to a group of galaxies, a clump of no more than 50 similar structures all loosely bound to one another by gravity. The Milky Way is also a member of a galactic group, known as the Local Group.

Car blast kills at least seven on Turkey-Syria border

ANKARA (Reuters) - A car exploded at a border crossing on Turkey's border with Syria near the Turkish town of Reyhanli on Monday, killing at least seven people and wounding dozens more, officials said.

The mayor of Reyhanli told CNN Turk that four of those killed were Turkish and that the car which exploded had Syrian license plates. Witnesses said they saw it drive up to the border post shortly before the explosion.

"There are at least seven dead, 33 wounded and that number could go up ... We don't know whether this was a suicide bomb or whether a car that was smuggling petrol across the border blew up," one Turkish official told Reuters.

Television footage and photographs showed severe damage to a series of cars at the border, where a gate was blown open and part of the roof collapsed.

"There was an explosion in the no-man's zone. It was not a mortar attack. It was very strong," a Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman said.

The Cilvegozu border gate, several kilometers outside the town of Reyhanli, sits opposite the Syrian gate of Bab al-Hawa, which the rebels captured last July.

Refugees cross back and forth and Turkish trucks also deliver goods into no-man's land between the two gates, where they are picked up by Syrians.

Turkey is a staunch supporter of the almost two-year-old uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and has harbored both Syrian refugees and rebels.

US starts using Pakistan route for Afghan pullout

ISLAMABAD (AP) ? The U.S. says it has started using the land route through Pakistan to pull American military equipment out of Afghanistan.

A spokesman for U.S. forces in Afghanistan, Marcus Spade, said on Monday that the U.S. moved 50 shipping containers into Pakistan over the weekend.

Pakistan will be a key route for the U.S. to withdraw thousands of containers of equipment out of landlocked Afghanistan as it pulls out most of its combat troops by the end of 2014.

Pakistan closed the route for nearly seven months after U.S. airstrikes killed 24 Pakistani troops in November 2011. Islamabad reopened the route after Washington apologized for the deaths.

During the closure of the Pakistan route, the U.S. had to use a longer, more costly path through Central Asia.

Eat To Compete: Winter Chopped Salad

Eat To Compete: Winter Chopped Salad Saturday, February 09, 2013??9:53:43 AM PT This article first ran in the '09, '10 winter but a good recipe never gets old. - Recipe & Photos by Casey Weaver - Winter is one of the best times of the year for leafy green vegetables, root vegetables, and one of my favorite fruits; apples. Throw all these things together and you have yourself a very healthy, seasonal salad. By mixing in a salad here and there, come early spring you will be down to fighting weight and ready to roll. And maybe you?ll fit back into the Levi?s (or those R&R jeans you splurged on, depending on your style) you were wearing before the Holidays. Ingredients Salad 2 cups (about) escarole, chopped 2 cups (about) frisee, chopped 1 large Granny Smith apple, shredded 1 large carrot, shredded 3 green onion, sliced ? inch 2 radishes, shredded ? fennel bulb, diced ? cup roasted pecans, coarsely chopped 1/3 cup gorgonzola cheese, crumbled 1 lb (about) boneless, skinless chicken breast Salt, pepper, and paprika to taste 1 T olive oil (for cooking) Dressing 1/4 cup light mayonnaise 2 T cranberry juice juice of one Meyer lemon 1 T olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1 t Dijon mustard salt and pepper to taste Cook the Chicken Breast Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy, oven safe, skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and season liberally with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook about four minutes then flip and cook an additional four to five minutes. Transfer to the preheated oven and cook for about ten minutes, until cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside. Prepare the Salad Rinse the escarole and frisee well. Chop about two cups to your desired consistency (be careful not chop too fine or you may end up with a bunch of mush). Place the chopped lettuce in your salad bowl. Shredding the apple, carrot, and radish is made infinitely easier with the proper attachment and a food processor. Though if you like to work for your food, or know where to find some cheap labor, a good old-fashioned cheese grater works just the same. You can also dice the three, though diced chunks of raw carrot and radish might provide a bit too much bite in your salad. Whatever you decide, add the carrot, apple, and radish to the salad. Dicing the fennel is easy. Just make some horizontal cuts all the way across the bulb, then turn and slice lengthwise about a quarter of an inch apart. The bulb will naturally cut into nice little cubes, similar to an onion. Add the remaining ingredients to your salad bowl. Cut the cooked chicken into ? inch cubes and add it, too. For the Dressing Combine all ingredients and whisk well. I recommend letting each person dress their own salad to avoid any issues. In my experience, an over (or sometimes under) dressed salad can make for some pretty unhappy cyclists. - Eat Well. Race Hard.
