New BMW "GINA"

"GINA Light Visionary Model" can change shape.
The search for increasingly lightweight body is a major challenge of cars designers . Aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber are the materials most used in the vehicle creation, but why not use fabric?
It was precisely what BMW did with its new concept car. Called "GINA Light Visionary Model", the model, a kind of cloth Z4M, following the brand name of 'organic design'.
Able to change form, the futuristic car has a chassis comprised of high-strength cables and carbon fiber bars.
Below the cloth, BMW says the GINA - German acronym for Geometry and Functions Adaptive - has a series of small electric-hydraulics motors, responsible for changes in the body format.
The headlights, front on both sides, are hidden under the cloth when they are turned off and open itself to be operated as eyelids, imitating the movements of the human eye.
Despite the fabric metallic appearance that covers the chassis, small details by car denounce the alternative material. By opening the doors is clearly sees the fabric, which is shrunken.
The engine access is like an open jacket, but instead of a zipper, electric motors take care of hood opening.
Even though it is something unthinkable for the current time, BMW says that the solution can be used in industry.
Who knew that mechanics in the future would be replaced by tailors...

Amazing Pictures taken by the Hubble telescope

These are Amazing Pictures, really difficult to imagine.
A light year is equivalent to a distance of 9.454.254.955.488km.
These are the 10 best pictures, taken by the Hubble telescope in outer space.







1º- The Sombrero Galaxy - 28 million light years from Earth - was voted the best picture taken by the Hubble telescope.
The dimensions of the galaxy, officially called M104, are as spectacular as its appearance.

It has 800 billion suns and is 50.000 light years across.

2º - The Ant Nebula, a cloud of dust and gas whose technical name is Mz3, resembles an ant when observed using ground-based telescopes. The nebula lies within our galaxy between 3.000 and 6.000 light years from Earth.

3º - In third place is Nebula NGC 2392, called Eskimo because it looks like a face surrounded by a furry hood.
The hood is, in fact, a ring of comet-shaped objects flying away from a dying star.Eskimo is 5.000 light years from Earth.

4º - At four is the Cat's Eye Nebula, which looks like the eye of disembodied sorcerer Sauron from Lord of the Rings.

5º - The Hourglass Nebula, 8.000 light years away, has a pinched-in-the-middle look because the winds that shape it are weaker at the centre.

6º - In sixth place is the Cone Nebula. The part pictured here is 2.5 light years in length (the equivalent of 23 million return trips to the Moon).

7º - The Perfect Storm, a small region in the Swan Nebula, 5.500 light years away, described as a 'bubbly ocean of hydrogen and small amounts of oxygen, sulphur and other elements'.

8º - Starry Night, named so, because it reminded astronomers of the Van Gogh painting.It is a halo of light around a star in the Milky Way.

9º - The glowering eyes from 114 million light years away are the swirling cores of two merging galaxies called NGC 2207 and IC 2163 in the distant “Canis Major” constellation.

10º - The Trifid Nebula a 'stellar nursery', 9.000 light years from here, it is where new stars are being born.
