OMG4599685: Renovation of the glass court of the Palais des Etudes des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The courtyard is an extraordinary architectural ensemble designed by Felix Duban (1798-1870) during the 1830s. In 1867, in order to protect the carving castings from the Musee du Louvre, this courtyard was covered with a glass on a metal frame which then constituted all its wealth. At the death of Felix Duban, Ernest Coquart (1831-1903) took over the construction site by covering the facades of a polychrome decor from Italian inspiration. The Palais des Etudes is an exceptional testimony of 19th century architecture. With the Cour vitree, Felix Duban completed the formidable educational program. In 1970, most of the castings were transferred to the Petite stables of the Chateau de Versailles. For its reopening in April 2009, after two years of construction, the school welcomes Giuseppe Penone's sculpture “Matrix de Seve””. It is a tree of 24 meters cut in its length and whose hollow heart is covered with seve. Photography 03/06/09. / Bridgeman Images

MPX5089417: British Aerospace and a Success Story: It's nice to be able to report a success story in Britain at a time when the world must think the U.K. is a breeding ground for failure. At British Aerospace, the HS 125 executive jet has been carving out a brilliant track record, taking 36% of the American market for medium class jets, selling at £2,500,0000 each with a wide variety of modifications to suit the individual buyer, such as showers, beds and TV sets to accompany the telephones and plush fittings. Super salesmen fly over 100,000 miles a year in search of buyers and provide the 72,000 workforce spread throughtout Britain with a healthy £3,000 million order book. 471 of them have been sold already to European, Arab and overseas companies by men who will fly a prospective customer into the desert and land on soft sand to prove the quality of both the 125 and its bigger brother, a 52 seater which sells for £3 million.

PIX4620798: Nebula N159 in the Great Magellan Cloud - N159 star forming region in Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC): N159 is a star-forming region located in the galaxy of the Great Magellan Cloud. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) - This shot from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows a maelstrom of glowing gas and dark dust within one of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). This stormy scene shows a stellar nursery known as N159, an HII region over 150 light-years across. N159 contains many hot young stars. These stars are emitting intense ultraviolet light, which causes nearby hydrogen gas to glow, and torrential stellar winds, which are carving out ridges, arcs, and filaments from the surrounding material. At the heart of this cosmic cloud lies the Papillon Nebula, a butterfly-shaped region of nebulosity. This small, dense object is classified as a High-Excitation Blob, and is thought to be tightly linked to the early stages of massive star formation. N159 is located over 160 000 light-years away. It resides just south of the Tarantula Nebula, another massive star-forming complex within the LMC / Bridgeman Images
