Orion Nebula - the trapeze - The Trapezium region in M42 - Located 1500 years - light, Orion Nebula is the closest region of formation of stars of the Sun. In the center of the picture, the Trapeze of Orion. The Trapeze is among the youngest known open clusters, it is made up of 4 massive stars that make the nebula shine. The central 'star' of the three groups forming the asterism of Orion's sword is in reality a nebula, and is clearly nebulous to the unaided eye. At the heart of the most luminous nebulosity shimmer a handful of stars known as the Trapezium cluster, visible in binoculars. These are the brightest members of a substantial cluster of stars, most of which are still hidden in the dusty recesses of the Orion nebula against which they are seen. The stars of the Trapezium provide much of the energy which makes the brilliant Orion Nebula visible and are at a distance of about 1500 light years

Thylacosmilus - Thylacosmilus atrox was a great predator with sword teeth close to marsupials, the size of a jaguar and weighing nearly 100 kilograms, who lived for about 30 million years until three million years ago. About the size of a jaguar, the bizarre looking Pliocene Argentinian marsupial carnivore, Thylacosmilus atrox, is a superb example of the concept of convergent evolution - descendents of unrelated organisms presumably under similar selection pressures “” converging”” on each other in form over time. Its skull looks remarkably like those of placental sabre-toothed cats, to which it was only distantly related. Key differences, however, did exist (e.g. long, rudder-like extensions of the chin protected the extremely long, dagger-like teeth)

Testing the keenness.. Every day at the factory of the Wilkinson Sword Company in Cramlington, outside Newcastle, 270 men who make the razor blades shave on duty as part of the production. From the many used blades a number are taken for examination in the laboratory. This is not all. A study is made when someone complains about a poor shave. Here the physiological background is studied. Sometimes the man is not feeling well, other times he might have been having a few late nights, or even a row with his wife. All these things add up to skin condition and whether they get a good shave or not. Our Picture Shows: Nearest the camera George Moffatt, next Robert Martin, Gordon Watson and Frank McAlroy. 6th March 1967 (b/w photo)
