At first glance, Gliese 913 is a pretty average star system. It’s a binary — two stars that travel through space together, bound by gravity. The main star is smaller, fainter, and cooler than the Sun. And its companion is even more modest.
Squids are cephalopods that have both arms and tentacles. The arms are shorter limbs covered with suction cups. The two tentacles are longer with suction cups only at the ends. Credit: SEFSC Pascagoula Laboratory; Collection of Brandi Noble, NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC.
Charlie Chaplin would become the world’s biggest star, but the first emergence of the Little Tramp played second fiddle to…go-karts. The iconic character debuted in 1914’s “At The Kid Auto Races in Venice”. It was filmed on-location at an actual road race held in Venice, California that year, among a crowd who showed up to watch some auto racing and instead became extras in film history. A year after the film, Chaplin would have never been able to walk those streets unnoticed. A year after that, he would’ve needed bodyguards.
