... The formation of multiple images of a distant quasar by the gravitational lensing effect of a foreground galaxy may be very simply, and faithfully, accounted for by a wine glass experiment. Figure 1. In the wine glass experiment, a bright compact light source (at the top of the photo) serves as a distant quasar. The wine glass on the table distorts the light rays from the "quasar" and produces a caustic having with a triangular shape (see enlargement in Figure 3 ). ...

UPPER PANEL: The gas surface density map in log scale. The red circle in the center represents the central protostar. The development of spiral structure in the protostellar disk is evident. Dense protostellar/protoplanetary clumsp form within the spiral arms and are driven into the protostar by the action of gravitational torques. LOWER PANEL: The mass accretion rate onto the protostar as a function of time. The mass accretion rate is characterized by very short ( . ...

The model is consistent with the basic observed distributions of near-parabolic comets, short-period comets, Centaurs and high-eccentricity trans-Neptunian objects.This model requires that initial objects in the early Solar System are concentrated to the outer planetary region, and the physical lifetime of comets in the inner planetary region at the present epoch is an increasing function of initial perihelion distances. ...
