Lyrics:

Take me now, baby, here as I am

Pull me close, try and understand

Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe

Love is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now, try and understand

The way I feel when I'm in your hands

Take my hand, come undercover

They can't hurt you now

Can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to love

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt when I'm alone

Love is a ring, the telephone

Love is an angel disguised as lust

Here in our bed until the morning comes

Come on now, try and understand

The way I feel under your command

Take my hand as the sun descends

They can't touch you now

Can't touch you now, can't touch you now

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to love

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now

With love we sleep

With doubt the vicious circle

Turns and burns

Without you, oh, I cannot live

Forgive, the yearning burning

I believe it's time, too real to feel

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to love

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Because tonight there are two lovers

If we believe, in the night we trust

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to love

Songwriter:

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to love

'Cause we believe tonight we're lovers

'Cause we believe, in the night we trust

Because the night belongs to lovers

On the bow....

                 ....in a stormy Taiwan Strait patrol....

TAIWAN STRAIT (October 14, 2020) -- United States Navy Arleigh-Burke class guided missile destroyer USS Barry (DDG 52) conducts a routine Freedom of Navigation transit of the contentious 110-mile- (180-km)-wide strip of ocean separating Communist China from Taiwan.

(Taiwan is a free country....but Communist China claims it belongs to them and periodically threatens to invade and seize control of Taiwan.)

As the weather deteriorated from the top photo to the second, the forecastle (bow) is cleared of personnel. In the top image, one can feel that “King of the World” vibe....but could quickly become “Fool of the World” in the second image.

Twins with differences

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows a spiral galaxy known as NGC 7331. First spotted by the prolific galaxy hunter William Herschel in 1784, NGC 7331 is located about 45 million light-years away in the constellation of Pegasus (The Winged Horse). Facing us partially edge-on, the galaxy showcases it’s beautiful arms which swirl like a whirlpool around its bright central region.

Astronomers took this image using Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), as they were observing an extraordinary exploding star — a supernova — which can still be faintly seen as a tiny red dot near the galaxy’s central yellow core. Named SN2014C, it rapidly evolved from a supernova containing very little Hydrogen to one that is Hydrogen-rich — in just one year. This rarely observed metamorphosis was luminous at high energies and provides unique insight into the poorly understood final phases of massive stars.

NGC 7331 is similar in size, shape, and mass to the Milky Way. It also has a comparable star formation rate, hosts a similar number of stars, has a central supermassive black hole and comparable spiral arms. The primary difference between our galaxies is that NGC 7331 is an unbarred spiral galaxy — it lacks a “bar” of stars, gas and dust cutting through its nucleus, as we see in the Milky Way. Its central bulge also displays a quirky and unusual rotation pattern, spinning in the opposite direction to the galactic disc itself.

By studying similar galaxies we hold a scientific mirror up to our own, allowing us to build a better understanding of our galactic environment which we cannot always observe, and of galactic behaviour and evolution as a whole.
