. This artist s impression shows how photons in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) are deflected by the gravitational lensing effect of massive cosmic structures as they travel across the universe. Gravitational lensing creates tiny, additional distortions to the mottled pattern of the CMB temperature fluctuations. A small fraction of the CMB is polarized; one component of this polarized light, B-modes, have been given an additional signature by gravitational lensing. ESA/Planck Collaboration

As of 1.3, the Apache source directories have been re-organised. This re-organisation is designed to simplify the directory structure, make it easier to add additional modules, and to give module authors a way of specifying compile time options or distribute binary modules. ... The non-module source files have moved from src into src/main . ... Configure . ... For example, say it is called mod_demo.c. The archive for this module should consist of two files, in a suitable directory name. ...
