A quotation from Propertius

The sailor tells of stormy gales, of oxen talks the farmer,
   The soldier counts his wounds, of sheep the shepherd prates away;
I sing of hours in rosy bowers, of dalliance with my charmer:
   We all have here our proper sphere — his part let each one play.
   
[Navita de ventis, de tauris narrat arator,
   Enumerat miles vulnera, pastor oves.
   Nos contra angusto versantes proelia lecto:
Qua pote quisque, in ea conterat arte diem.]

Propertius (50-16 BC) Roman elegiac poet [Sextus Propertius]
Elegies, Book 2, Elegy 1, l. 43ff (2.1.43–46) [tr. Cranstoun (1875)]

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧵🌐 The hairy ball #theorem says you can’t comb a #sphere smooth without a cowlick somewhere.

The same rule explains why #Earth always has a #cyclone spinning, why #fusion reactors use #doughnut shapes, and why omnidirectional antennas can’t exist. #Wind patterns over the #Arctic and #Antarctic circles illustrate the proof.

A #rotating protoplanetary #disk! This is what the #SPHERE instrument installed on the @esoastronomy ’s #VeryLargeTelescope captured!

The disk in question surrounds the young star #ABAurigae. Although it appears to be rotating generally in accordance with the laws of physics, certain regions close to the star show an unexpected deviation. The cause of this anomaly?
