Astronomy Picture of the Day: The Hubble Space Telescope captured this breathtaking, edge-on photo of the NGC 4452 disk galaxy against a backdrop of hundreds of other galaxies.
APOD explains:
Galaxies that appear this thin are rare mostly because our Earth must reside (nearly) in the extrapolated planes of their thin galactic disks. Galaxies that actually are this thin are relatively common — for example our own Milky Way Galaxy is thought to be about this thin.

BREAKING NEWS of the Day: The time traveler in Charlie Chaplin’s The Circus wasn’t holding a cell phone up to her ear, she was holding up an old-timey hearing aid known as an “ear trumpet” (see above).
From LiveScience:
“As you can tell from these, old-fashioned mechanical or resonating hearing aids were not necessarily long and rounded,” said Philip Skroska, an archivist at the Bernard Becker Medical Library of Washington University in St. Louis. “Short, compact rectangular forms were not unusual.”
In other words, they could look something like a cell phone to imaginative YouTube viewers in the 21st century.
On to the next thing.
