The length of the hull, propellor and planes that extends below the waterline of a surfaced Kilo class submarine is illustrated here. The stern would have been targeted to ensure maximum damage to the submarine. The damage to the wharf can be considered collateral damage.

When Perseverance was traversing around the delta in Jezero crater the images were captivating. Now outside the crater the terrain may be scientifically interesting but the images are somewhat boring.

It didn't take long for the US to morph from the oft claimed 'land of the free' to a police state. Perhaps it is time that the Bellamy salute made a comeback.

Remember the first days of the invasion when Russian troops advanced in APC and AFV with tanks galore. Past glories giving way to ATV, golf carts and civilian cars. This image from the 8th day of the SMO explains why.

The wonders of modern technology. But for all the wonderful images available today my favorite rendition is William Parsons' sketch of the whirlpool galaxy in 1845.
