Computer scientists at Yale University have created HadoopDB, an open-source data management hybrid system for large amounts of data. The system is a hybrid of DBMS and MapReduce technologies that targets analytical workloads and is designed to run on a shared-nothing cluster of commodity machines, or in the cloud.
"In essence, HadoopDB is a hybrid of MapReduce and parallel DBMS technologies," said Daniel Abadi, assistant professor of computer science at Yale and one of the system designers. "It's designed to take the best features of both worlds. We get the performance of parallel database systems with the scalability and ease of use of MapReduce."
Yale graduate students and cocreators Azza Abouzeid and Kamil Bajda-Pawlikowski presented in-depth details of the new system at the Very Large Databases (VLDB) conference in Lyon, France, on August 27. The team demonstrated the system performance on a range of representative queries at the conference, both on structured and unstructured data, and outlined HadoopDB's characteristics along the run-time performance, loading time, fault tolerance, and scalability dimensions. HadoopDB will also be presented at HadoopWorld:NYC in New York in October.
Traditional approaches to managing data at this scale typically fall into one of two categories. The first includes parallel database management systems (DBMS), which are good at working with structured data that contain, for instance, tables with trillions of rows of data. The second includes the kind of approach taken by MapReduce, the software framework used by Google to search data contained on the Web, which gives the user more control over how the data is retrieved.
HadoopDB reduces the time it takes to perform some typical tasks from days to hours, making more complicated analysis possible -- the kind that could be used to find patterns in the stock market, earthquakes, consumer behavior and even outbreaks, Abadi said. "People have all this data, but they're not using it in the most efficient or useful way."

Performance Braking:
Wilwood Prop Valve
Wilwood's new Combination Proportioning Valve substantially simplifies mounting, plumbing, wiring, and brake proportioning adjustments on vehicles with custom brake systems. The combination block maintains full isolation between front and rear fluid circuits and can be used in conjunction with any tandem outlet or dual-mount master cylinder assemblies. The rear circuit has a single inlet and single outlet with the adjustable proportioning valve. The front circuit has a single inlet with two outlets. The new combination proportioning valve (PN 260-11179) can be run as a single outlet with one outlet plugged, or used to split the plumbing on its way to the front calipers. The brake light switch is immediately activated by pressure in the front circuit. The sturdy forged body incorporates two 5/16-inch through-holes for secure mounting to the frame or a reinforced chassis brace.
Wilwood Disc Brakes
Mopar Wheels:
Trans-Dapt Hub Adapters
We just jumped back into the Mopar project car scene with the purchase of a six-cylinder '68 Plymouth Valiant, and got lucky with a rust-free running car. The only thing our cream puff lacks to make the show scene is a good set of rolling stock. Like most classic Mopars with six-cylinder engines, we have wheel hubs with the small-diameter 5×4-inch bolt circle. We could order a set of small bolt-circle wheels, but we'd only have to change them to larger wheels once we swap out to a serious rearend and good brakes. The solution is to upgrade to the larger bolt-circle wheels now because there are a lot more wheel choices for Mopars that have the larger 5×4.5-inch bolt circle.
The solution is a set of Trans-Dapt hub adapters (PN 7066, $61.95 per pair from Summit Racing). Relative to more expensive billet hub adapters, the Trans-Dapt pieces are thinner, which create less offset and less potential for tire-to-fender interference. It also places less stress on the wheel bearings—a big win-win all around. We got two pairs of them, and we plan on testing them out soon once we decide on a set of wheels and tires.
Trans-Dapt Performance Products
Ignition Systems:
Mallory FireStorm
With innovative software in Street and Pro versions, Mallory's new FireStorm ignition boxes include four customizable applications for every kind of driver. In support of the FireStorm ignition system line, Mallory Ignition has also launched more than 70 accessories, including a dual-sync distributor, 36-1 high-resolution crank trigger kit, dual-sync sensor assembly, plug wires, and coils.
The Mallory FireStorm ignition has multiple coil controls, allowing users to upgrade from a single-coil application to a coil-on-plug application. With the software, the boxes have built-in system diagnostics and continual sensor monitoring and limp-home technology, even if a sensor fails. The LS and Hemi boxes, along with their supporting accessories, are anticipated to launch later this summer.

Gen III Hemi:
Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger Kit
Edelbrock has released their 50-state-legal E-Force Supercharger system (PN 1532) for the '09-10 Challenger, Charger, and 300C equipped with a 5.7L Hemi engine (retail price: $7,495.99). This design features an Eaton Twin Vortices Series (TVS) 2300 Gen VI rotor assembly to bump up power to 506 hp and torque to 501 lb-ft of torque. The supercharger assembly is integrated into Edelbrock's intercooled intake manifold for a truly seamless design with minimal components. The E-Force supercharger system includes everything you need to bolt it on under the hood, including supercharger/manifold assembly, fuel injectors, air-to-water intercooler, and a handheld flash programmer to properly tune the factory ECU for the added power. Edelbrock offers two levels of optional powertrain warranty terms, including three-year/36,000-mile and five-year/100,000-mile, offering up to $19,000 of coverage.
Body Protection:
Eastwood Rust Encapsulator
Eastwood combined the benefits of their Rust Encapsulator with their Rubberized Undercoating into one easy-to-use product. Rubberized Rust Encapsulator stops rust from spreading and can be applied directly over rust or bare metal to create a durable and flexible finish. Off-the-shelf undercoatings require the removal of all rust, and they can create air pockets that trap moisture, allowing rust to spread within those pockets, but Eastwood's Rubberized Rust Encapsulator applies directly over rust and prevents those pockets from forming. It also helps deaden sound and can handle underhood temps up to 250 degrees. In testing conducted by Eastwood during salt spray chamber testing, the epoxy-fortified Rubberized Rust Encapsulator exceeded 1,000 hours, where over-the-counter undercoatings typically fail in the 200- to 250-hour range.
Updated Holley 600 cfm
Just about every hot rodder has had one of Holley's ubiquitous little square 600-cfm carbs on a car at some point. You might even have one still since it's been one of their top sellers for years due to their excellent street manners, easy tuning, and reliability. They tend to run great on a wide variety of stock to mildly built street machines, thanks to their universal calibration, vacuum secondaries, adjustable needle and seats, and manual or electric choke. So how could they get better? These popular carburetors have been revamped with an aluminum main body, bowls, throttle body, and metering block. That means a 40 percent weight savings and a polished finish that stays shiny longer, and still with a price tag that fits any budget. These bolt-on-and-go performance carburetors are available with manual or electric choke (PN 0-1850SA and 0-80457SA, respectively). Both feature a single push-on–style fuel inlet, multiple vacuum ports for accessories, and Ford automatic trans kickdown. TPS linkage kits for 700-R4 and 4L60/80E are available separately.

Scientists Uncover a Novel Mechanism Controlling Tumor Growth in the Brain
By Eric Sauter and Mika Ono
As survival rates among some patients with cancer continue to rise, so does the spread of these cancers to the brain—as much as 40 percent of all diagnosed brain cancers are considered metastatic, having spread from a primary cancer elsewhere in the body.
Now, scientists from The Scripps Research Institute have discovered a molecular mechanism that plays a pivotal role in controlling cancer growth in the brain. The discovery could provide a basis for potentially effective therapies for the treatment of brain metastasis.
The study was published in an online Early Edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on June 16, 2009.
"Our study could have a broad impact because it explains at a molecular level how metastatic lesions thrive in the brain," said Scripps Research Associate Professor Brunhilde Felding-Habermann, who led the research. "This offers a potential target for inhibiting the growing problem of brain metastasis."
For tumor cells that have invaded the brain, Felding-Habermann and her colleagues found that when activated, a tumor cell receptor known as integrin αvβ3 increased the supply of a growth factor involved in the development of new blood vessels ("angiogenesis") necessary for tumor expansion within the brain tissue. In contrast, the same receptor did not influence tumor growth at the primary cancer site, in this case, the breast.
"The fact that we uncovered a link between activated αvβ3 and angiogenesis is quite striking," said Senior Research Associate Mihaela Lorger, the first author of the study. "In addition, our study showed that that the ability of tumor cell αvβ3 to enhance angiogenesis depends very much on the microenvironment."
This receptor's varying effects on tumor cells depending on their location in the body reinforces a principle that the Felding-Habermann lab uncovered a few years ago.
"For tumor cells, it's not just the presence of the receptor on the cells, but the conformation or shape of the molecule that determines how well tumor cells can do within different tissues" Felding-Habermann said. "The shape of the molecule can increase or reduce the receptor's affinity for its natural ligands."
In the new study, which was conducted in mouse models, the scientists showed that activated αvβ3 on tumor cells leads to angiogenesis in the brain by elevating the expression of the VEGF, a protein that is critical to the formation of new blood vessels.
Tumor cells normally try to recruit more blood vessels when oxygen supply runs low. When oxygen and nutrients get scarce, many tumor cells die and tumor growth slows down until new vessels have formed. But in the brain, activated αvβ3 promotes rapid tumor growth by enabling tumor cells to attract new blood vessels continuously, even when oxygen is still abundant.
The scientists plan to follow up on their new findings by testing if activated αvβ3 on tumor cells also supports brain metastasis of other types of cancer, and by investigating if targeting the activated form of αvβ3 can inhibit metastatic brain disease.
In addition to Felding-Habermann and Lorger, other authors of the study, "Activation of Tumor Cell Integrin αvβ3 Controls Angiogenesis And Metastatic Growth in the Brain," include Joseph S. Krueger, Melissa O'Neal, and Karin Staflin of The Scripps Research Institute. For more information, see http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2009/06/16/0903035106.abstract.
The study was supported by The National Institutes of Health, the University of California Breast Cancer Research Program, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, and the Government of Sweden.

James Murdoch Pleads Ignorance At UK Phone Hacking Inquiry
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
As part of the ongoing fallout from the News Corp. phone-hacking scandal, James Murdoch, who earlier this year resigned as head of Murdoch's UK newspaper empire, today appeared at a judicial inquiry about press culture in the UK.
In keeping with his (and his father's) pattern of denying knowledge of the extent of the hacking at the News of the World tabloid, Murdoch reportedly told the inquiry that News of the World executives kept him in the dark about the scale of the hacking problem.
Reuters reported:
He has consistently maintained that the paper's management failed to alert him to the scale of the problem.
"Knowing what we know now about the culture at the News of the World in 2006, and from what we know about the alleged widespread nature of these poor practices, then it must have been cavalier about risk and that is a matter of huge regret," James Murdoch told a packed courtroom.
Asked if he read the weekly News of the World, he said "I wouldn't say I read all of it," and asked about its daily sister paper, the Sun, he said he had "tried to familiarize myself with what was in it".
Murdoch was also pressed on a 2008 email chain that mentioned a "nightmare scenario" involving potential legal consequences of phone hacking at News of the World. When these emails first surfaced in December, Murdoch released a statement admitting to both receiving and replying to the email, but also denying having read "the full e-mail chain." According to the BBC, Murdoch repeated this defense today:
In December, another email from 2008 was released indicating Mr Murdoch had been copied into messages referring to the "rife" practice of phone hacking at the News of the World and also citing the "For Neville" email.
Mr Murdoch has said although he was copied into the email, he did not read it fully.
He told the inquiry: "I didn't read the email chain. It was a Saturday, I had just come back from Hong Kong, I was with my children. I responded in minutes."
He said he now accepts that the "For Neville" email was "a thread" that raised the suspicion of wider phone hacking at the News of the World.
"The fact it suggested other people might have been involved in phone hacking - that part of its importance was not imparted to me that day," he said.
News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch is scheduled to appear before inquiry on Wednesday and Thursday.

The Fruit Bats love a good charity and they love hanging out in Hawaii. Those lucky bastards will be indulging both of those passions next weekend when they perform at a benefit concert at the Hard Rock Cafe in Waikiki, HI. The event is Saturday, April 30th and will raise money for Hui o Ko'olaupoko who's mission is: To protect ocean health by restoring the `aina: mauka to makai. I'm not clear exactly how one accomplishes these magical goals but apparently it's done in partnership with stakeholders including interested citizens, non-governmental organizations, government, educational institutions and businesses while using and focusing on sound ecological principles, community input, and cultural heritage.

Awesome self-tanner!! from San Francisco, CA Verified Purchaser
I just got this yesterday and used it for the first time last night all over my body. It was relatively easy to apply (although I washed my hands throughout the application process to avoid staining them). I was so happy with the results that I used it on my face when I woke up this morn. I just went into the bathroom at work and was like, 'I look tan!!' I've been avoiding the sun for the past three years, so it's the first time I've seen myself tan in a long time, and I love it!! It is a nice, golden color, too--exactly the way my skin looks when it's really tan. The smell is nice when you put it on, but it does fade into that self-tanner smell after awhile. That and the price are the only drawbacks--well worth it in my opinion.

It does not smell like usual sunless tanning products. The only CON I found was that it leaves your hands brown after applying, but washes away with soap and water. I tried using gloves, but I did not think it applied as easy and as smooth with them on. Definitely recommend it.
5 out of 5
For all its great attributes, it is a COLOSSAL MESS to use. It is like slathering yourself in mud. In first applying it I felt terrified about the results as it goes on extremely dark and with big streaks everywhere, but it turns out you really don't have to worry about those. And don't think you can slop this on and then go about your business for the day. It is called Overnite for a good reason. You can't do anything else except put on some old jammies and go to bed until the process is however.

Instant natural looking tan! from Streetsboro, OH Verified Purchaser
Finally! Results in ONE night, no orangey color, no stained clothes! I used this product 3 nights in a row and instantly had a great looking tan! AND it really made my skin feel great after washing it off the next day... like it added oil-free moisture! I tend to have problematic skin (redness, dry patches but also breakouts on my back) and so sunless tanners usually add to the problems but not this one.

The BEST sunless tanner from Ventura, CA Verified PurchaserI have used this for about 4 years and it is by far the best sunless tanner I have ever used. Beautiful color and doesn't stain your hands. The one and only thing that is a little annoying at times is the fact that sometimes I get a couple of drips from the nozzle. BUT, it's very easy to just dab it into the skin. A very small price to pay for a perfect looking, dark tan.
Directions: Sun Laboratories Ultra Dark Self Tanning Spray 6 fl oz
Hold can 6' away and spray evenly over face and body. Color is instant. To avoid discoloring palms wash hands with soap and water immediately after use.

A famous second novel, "Thieves Like Us" (published by Prior, Disruptive Press and in the Library of America anthology "Crime Novels: American Noir of the 1930s and 1940s"), followed in 1937, and Anderson came out to Hollywood. The screenwriting didn't work out, so he took a job at the Los Angeles Examiner, from which he was fired -- for anti-Semitism, according to one story -- in 1940. He drifted back to Texas, to alcoholism, to Swedenborgianism, and to the loopier fringes of the political right. He wrote a column for a local paper and died in 1969 in almost total obscurity. He was 63.
None of this is especially shocking, and it's certainly not edifying, but the two novels remain. Both of them are terrific, in their very different ways, and speak with a particular resonance at a time when the U.S. economy looks like it's falling apart. "Hungry Men" follows the travels of Acel Stecker, an out-of-work musician who drifts back and forth across America.
"How long have I been running around the country now?" he asks himself. "Two years. Damn near two years. It has been two years since I played in that Juarez cabaret. Godamighty. Two years I been on the bum. It would have scared me to death then if somebody had said: 'You won't even have a job two years from now.' I didn't have any guts then, though."
"Hungry Men" is written in the third person; but Anderson had instinctive gifts as a novelist, and the book takes us in and out of Acel's mind without any seeming effort. Acel's feelings have been beaten out of him, and his encounters in flop-houses, in freight cars, in court rooms, in a store trying to bum something to eat, are presented without inflection, combining the intimate with the deadpan to map out what Geoffrey O'Brien, writing in the Village Voice in 1983, called "the desolate geography of the book." O'Brien wrote that the book recalled "Beckett as much as it does Walker Evans."
The structure follows Acel's adventures, so the book is shaped almost as a series of disjointed short stories but held together by tone and perception. Anderson, himself no radical, constantly glances in the direction of politics.
" 'I'm getting fed up on this kind of life,' Bill said.
Acel nodded. 'It's pretty tough all right.'
'I'd rob a bank if I thought I could get away with it.' "
"Thieves Like Us" takes up this theme and centers on three escaped convicts who, in their desperation, have forgotten how to be afraid and do nothing else but rob banks. At first they enjoy success. They buy better clothes, more guns, faster cars and read about their escapades in the papers. The central character, Bowie, who killed a guy when he was 16, falls in love with Keechie, a young girl who's the cousin of one of his partners, establishing a narrative model -- love on the run -- that Hollywood followed countless times thereafter, notably in "Bonnie and Clyde," "Natural Born Killers" and in two film versions of "Thieves Like Us" (made by Nicholas Ray and Robert Altman). Anderson's second novel crackles with tension and has a very different mood from "Hungry Men" because the reader understands from the start that these characters are doomed. Hence their romance. The book lives best, not in its sometimes hard-boiled idiom, but in the moments between the action, when the characters are driving around Texas and Oklahoma, or holed up in a safe house or hotel:
"The green-shaded lamp in the kitchen of the Welcome Inn was burning, their signal that there had been no rumbles when he was gone, and now he closed the door quietly and the leaves on the walk crackled under his moving shoes. He lifted on the knob so the door would not scrape and went in. Pale coals studded the mound of dark ashes in the fireplace and then he saw Keechie sitting on the end of the cot by the shadowy radio."
There's a sense of tenderness and tentativeness toward life that corresponds to the constant anxiety that hovers somewhere right at the back of Bowie's mind. This poetic, almost haunted quality summons the memory of James Agee as much as Dashiell Hammett, and can carry through even into the action writing. Here's Anderson describing a car accident, a fulcrum moment that leads to the killing of two cops:
"Thrown from the sprung door of his car, Bowie rose from the parquet grass, feeling like a figure in a slow motion picture. He was on his feet now, a terrific weight on his back. Yonder was his car, the radiator caved in against a broken lamp-post and behind it was an old coupe, somebody inside of it groaning, its one lamp still burning."
"Thieves Like Us" snaps shut like a trap on its characters, and I'd bet that Nicholas Ray, having filmed it, kept it in mind when he made his more famous picture of youthful disillusion and defiance, "Rebel Without a Cause." Anderson himself never moved on anywhere, artistically, which is our loss because he made fiction that combined fluency of style with potency of form. But he did leave behind these two books, stories from the Depression, yet timeless, testaments to young people roaming the country, hungry and without prospects, sleeping rough or turning to crime. He's a writer who deserves to be rediscovered.
"The Book of Chameleons" by Jose Eduardo Agualusa (Scribner)
This novel is narrated by a gecko, that's to say by a lizard, who also happens to be the reincarnated spirit of Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. Well: Some writers like to play for high stakes. From this conceit Agualusa weaves a gorgeous and intricate story about a man who trades in memories, selling people pasts to help reinvent their futures. Set in Angola, the tale darts to and fro with the swiftness of a step over by soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo. There's a murder mystery here, and not only a meditation on the nature of memory. Agualusa's deftness and lightness of touch means we buy into the strange setup with scarcely a blink. He's a young master.
"Phantasmagoria" by Marina Warner (Oxford University Press)
Warner, a richly entertaining novelist and cultural historian, studies our obsession with the way things live on, our fascination with the idea that the dead may still be among us. The Victorians sought to apply scientific rigor to the investigation of the spiritual, leading to a field day for frauds and hysterics. But Warner argues that the liminal areas between life and death, between reality and illusion, have been human stock-in-trade pretty much since the beginning of time, and she explores the significance of souls, ectoplasm, replicants and doppelgängers in imaginative creators from Dante to Philip K. Dick and those who today invent role-playing computer games. The book is dense, and not always easy, but suggestive and inspiring.
"The Paranoid Style in American Politics" by Richard Hofstadter (Vintage)
"Although American political life has rarely been touched by the most acute varieties of class conflict, it has served again and again as an arena for uncommonly angry minds," wrote American historian Richard Hofstadter in this classic study, in which he argues that the rational choosing of irrational anger and paranoia as a political position is a phenomenon that has existed throughout history, and throughout American history in particular. Hofstadter, who died in 1970 at 53, had a deep understanding of the lures and pathologies of politics, and these elegant, analytical essays seem uncannily relevant today. Newly introduced by Sean Wilentz.
"The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein (Picador)
Klein launches a highly polemical, and persuasive, assault on free-market fundamentalism. She rips into the big-business agenda to show how economic opportunists need and promote misery and disaster, challenging us to look at world-changing events -- Pinochet's coup, Tiananmen Square, the collapse of the Soviet Union, Hurricane Katrina -- from a whole other perspective. Not everybody's going to agree with her, but this is reporting and history-writing in the tradition of Izzy Stone and Upton Sinclair. Klein upends assumptions and demands that we think -- her book is thrilling, troubling and very dark.
"How Novels Work" by John Mullan (Oxford University Press)
This book collects a series of columns that John Mullan has done for The Guardian in England, a mixture of lit crit and hands-on advice about the craft of novel-writing. He tackles character, genre, beginnings, endings, narrative technique and plot device, among other topics, drawing on examples from Daniel Defoe, Ali Smith, Donna Tartt and many others. "One clause detonates another in anguished repetition," he writes, analyzing Philip Roth's tightly controlled use of prose amplification in "The Human Stain," and the "detonates" is spot-on. Readers and writers alike will finds this an excellent guide.
"Silence" by Thomas Perry (Harcourt)
Perry, who seems to have always been around and is not so well known as he should be, writes the best pursuit thrillers around. In "Silence" he sets up his game of cat-and-mouse with parallel narratives: In one, private investigator Jack Till, who helped Wendy Harper disappear six years ago, now has to find her again so he can save her; in the other, Wendy is tracked by an insanely smooth pair of tango-dancing assassins whose insecure marriage doesn't prevent them from ratcheting up a high body-count. As villains, these two, the Turners, are delicious creations. Perry's plotting is always smart, and he's very good on what's going on every day in L.A., including murder.
"Fer-de-Lance; The League of Frightened Men" by Rex Stout (Bantam)
Here, in one volume, are the earliest, and best, of Stout's novels. The dialogue crackles, sidekick Archie dashes about, while Nero Wolfe -- possibly the best, and certainly the fattest and most eccentric, of detectives -- sits in his chair, too gross to cross his legs, tending his multitude of orchids in that brownstone on New York's West 35th Street and effortlessly getting the job done, the crime solved. The plotting -- and plotting was never Stout's strong point -- is tight here, and these two books remain peaks in the genre.
"Demons" by Fyodor Dostoevsky (Penguin)
"Demons," which describes the activities of a group of political radicals and culminates in murder, is the most bamboozling of Dostoevsky's novels -- and that's saying something. Is "Demons" (previously translated as "The Devils" and "The Possessed") social comedy, scathing political satire, depth psychology or an ultimately thrilling tale of violence? Actually, it's all of the above, and the various styles of this glorious mess of a book are captured in this superb new version by Robert Maguire. Also included, as an appendix, is the famous chapter, at first banned and suppressed, in which the charismatic, and indeed demonic, Stravrogin confesses to the rape of a child who then kills herself.
"The Thief and the Dogs" by Naguib Mahfouz (Anchor)
A man, recently released from an Egyptian jail, seeks revenge on those who put him there -- his wife and former partner. The plot has elements of noir, or even Dostoevsky, but in the hands of Mahfouz becomes a bleak and irresistible existential tale. Mahfouz wrote this book in mid-career, when his spare style made for clarity of narrative. Said Mahran, the hero, is possessed by a searing will that only violence will snuff out. The novel will be featured as a "Big Read" selection for the National Endowment of the Arts.
"Selected Poems" by C.P. Cavafy (Penguin)
Cavafy, the great poet of Alexandria, was first introduced to an English readership by E.M. Forster and later championed by W.H. Auden. He was gay, and his charged erotic poems make no attempt to hide the fact. Other strands of his poetic output -- interior reflections on history and fate -- have proved perhaps even more influential, drawing admirers and followers, like Czeslaw Milosz and Zbigniew Herbert. "Suddenly, around midnight, when you hear / an invisible troupe of players pass / with exquisite music and solemn voices -- / do not lament in vain your waning luck, the many deeds / undone, all of your life plans gone astray," Cavafy writes in "The Gods Abandoning Antony." Cavafy's various tones -- whether mournful, ironic or sexual -- are made to feel indispensable in these new translations by Avi Sharon.

Evolution of the P/Shoemaker-Levy 9 "Gang of Four" Region
This series of eight NASA Hubble Space Telescope "snapshots" shows the evolution of the P-Q complex, also called the "gang of four" region, of comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9.
The eight individual frames chronicle changes in the comet during the 12 months before colliding with Jupiter. The sequence shows that the relative separations of the various cometary fragments, thought to range in size from about 500 meters to almost 4 km (2.5 miles) across, changed dramatically over this period. The apparent separation of Q1 and Q2 was only about 1100 kilometers (680 miles) on 1 July 1993 and increased to 28,000 kilometers (17,400 miles) by 20 July 1994.
