Here's a look into the star-forming region S106, made from image data captured by NASAHubble in infrared wavelengths on Feb. 13, 2011. A newborn star is blasting away a space from within the cloud it formed, 3,300 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus.

It is called the Osborne Reef, located off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In the 1970s, the reef was the subject of an ambitious expansion project utilizing old and discarded tires. The project ultimately failed, and the “reef” has come to be considered an environmental disaster—ultimately doing more harm than good in the coastal Florida waters.

On the off-chance that people don’t know this...
This style of bridge dates from the days when barges were towed by horses. When the towpath switched to the opposite side of the canal, the horse would, obviously, clippy-clop over a bridge and happily plod off again. Now, the automatic way to do this would be like this:
However, note that rope (black line) between the horse (brown blob) and the barge (red blob). If you cross the bridge the automatic way, it all goes a bit....
However, if you cross the bridge like THIS
it all works out fine!
Now, sure, you could trust people to remember how to cross a bridge. But there are a lot of numpties out there, and people were working extremely long days and were extremely tired. Also, the canals were BUSY. One boat getting snarled up was the equivalent of the Ever Given.
So, instead, the canal companies built Numpty-Proof Bridges.
They also had the benefit that the horse could be left to plod along on its own, rather than needing human guidance. (I have no idea how this worked. My horse would have her nose buried in the grass and wouldn’t go anywhere, if I left her to it.)
