Hoag's object is a  ring galaxy.
The galaxy is named after Arthur Allen Hoag who discovered it in 1950.
He identified it as either a planetary nebula or an unusual galaxy.
The object has about eight billion stars, and is ~600 million light-years away in the constellation Serpens.
A nearly perfect ring of young hot blue stars circles the older yellow nucleus of this ring galaxy.
The inner core of the galaxy is about   (), while the surrounding ring has an inner 28″ diameter of  () and an outer 45″ diameter of  (), which is slightly larger than the Milky Way Galaxy.
The gap separating the two stellar populations may contain some star clusters that are almost too faint to see.
History and formation
Art Hoag suggested the visible ring was a product of gravitational lensing.
This idea was later discarded: the nucleus and the ring have the same redshift, and  the ring shows knotty structure which would not be visible with gravitational lensing.
Many of the details of the galaxy remain a mystery, especially how it formed. "
Classic" ring galaxies are usually formed by the collision of a small galaxy with a larger disk-shaped galaxy.
This collision produces a density wave in the disk which leads to a characteristic ring-like appearance.
Such an event, 2–3 billion years in the past, may have formed polar-ring galaxies.
However, there is no sign of any second galaxy which would have acted as the "bullet", and the core of Hoag's object has a very low velocity relative to the ring, making the typical formation hypothesis unlikely.
Noah Brosch suggested that Hoag's object might be a product of an extreme "bar instability" which occurred a few billion years ago in a barred spiral galaxy.
Schweizer et al claims that this is unlikely because the nucleus of the object is spheroidal, whereas the nucleus of a barred spiral galaxy is disc-shaped.
However, evidence is somewhat thin for this dispute to be settled.
A few other galaxies share the characteristics of Hoag's object, including the bright detached ring of stars, but their centers are elongated or barred, and they may exhibit some spiral structure  While none match Hoag's object in symmetry, this handful of galaxies are known to some as Hoag-type galaxies.
Like much of London, Forest Hill was only sparsely populated until the mid-19th century.

William White (b. unknown – February 1621) White was a Mayflower passenger who settled in Plymouth Colony in 1620 and signed the Mayflower Compact.
He was born in England and died in the winter of 1621, in Plymouth Colony.
White married Susanna in about 1615, and their son, Resolved, was born soon after.
They became passengers on the Mayflower which left Plymouth, England on 16 September 1620.
They also took with them two servants, William Holbeck and Edward Thompson.
The Mayflower was supposed to land in the Colony of Virginia, but the ship was too damaged and they were forced to land at what is now known as Provincetown Harbor.
Life in Plymouth
White's second son, Peregrine White, was born on the Mayflower, while it was anchored at Cape Cod.
He was the first English child born in Plymouth Colony.
White and his servants, Holbeck and Thompson died soon after landing, in early 1621.
White's family
White's widow, Susanna, married Edward Winslow in May 1621, which made her the first Plymouth Colony bride.
Winslow had also been a Mayflower passenger and later became the second governor of Plymouth Colony.
She and Winslow are buried in the Winslow Cemetery.
Haredi ( ) is the most conservative form of Orthodox Judaism and is known as Ultra-Orthodox Judaism
Haredi Judaism consists of many spiritual and cultural groups, and is divided into Hasidic sects with streams from Eastern Europe and Sephardic Haredim.
The two are different in many aspects, including their beliefs, lifestyles, religious practice and philosophy, and isolation from the general culture where they live.
Most Haredi Jews currently live in Israel, North America and Western Europe.
Their population is growing very fast due to a high birth rate.
It doubles every 12 to 20 years.
The estimates of the number of Haredim in the entire world are difficult to measure, because the definition of the word may or may not apply to some people.
In addition there has been a lack of data collection and rapid change over time.
One newspaper article estimated there were approximately 1.3 million Haredi Jews as of 2011.

Like other types of laws and values in other religions, the subject of Jewish ethics tries to provide answers for many moral questions.
It has gone through major changes over the past 2000 years.
The halakha addresses many problems that are related to all kinds of ethics.

Lancaster University is a British university in Lancaster, Lancashire, England.
It consistently rated among the top universities in the United Kingdom for research and teaching.
It is ranked in the top one percent of universities in the world.
All students are a member of a college.
There are eight undergraduate colleges and a ninth college for postgraduates.
The Jewish belief of Jews as a chosen people is that Jews are the chosen people of God.
Some Jews believe that God has given them a special job to repair the world and make it a better place.
According to this view, they must use the things in the world to increase good and come closer to God, and as God’s partner in repairing the world – to find ways to lessen suffering of people and animals, to make more peace and respect between people, and to protect the earth’s environment from destruction.
This process is known as “tikkun olam” (from Hebrew) – repairing the world.
From the Bible
This origin of the idea in the Torah (the first five books of the Tanakh, which are also included in the Christian Bible).
Much is written about these topics in rabbinic literature:
According to Judaism, God made an agreement called a “covenant” with Abraham, the ancestor of the Jewish people.
God also gave Jacob another name – Israel.
The Jewish religion, God later gave the Israelites the Torah to the Israelites through their leader, Moses.
Religious Jewish views
The Jews are sometimes called the “Chosen People" because the Bible says God told them “you will be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (Exodus 19:6) and “For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord chose you to be His own special nation out of all peoples on the earth” (Deuteronomy 14:2).
Religious Jews ("orthodox") understand this means that they have special duties and responsibilities commanded by God - for example, that they must build a just society and serve only God.
They believe that this covenant works in two ways: if they follow God’s laws, He will give them his love and protection, but they are also responsible for their sins – bad actions – and not doing what God told them.
Religious Jews believe that they must teach other people that God exists and that God wants all people to do good actions.
The idea of chosenness has traditionally been interpreted by Jews in two ways: one way is that God chose the Israelites, while the other is that the Israelites chose God.
Another opinion is that even though the Jews chose to follow God, the Kabbalah and Tanya teach that even prior to creation, the "Jewish soul" was already chosen.
However, Jews do not believe that being a member of the Chosen People gives them any special talents or makes them better than anyone else, and many of whose who are considered "Jewish" (especially secular/(non-religious ones) do not believe they are "Chosen" in any way at all.
Jews generally do not try to convince other people to believe in Judaism.
Jews believe they have a special job to show all peoples that God exists, but people do not have to be Jewish to follow God.
From other religions
O children of Israel, remember my favor which I bestowed upon you, and that I favored you above all creation. (
Qur'an 2:47).
2:122).
Many Christians also believe that the Jews were God's chosen people (), but because of Jewish rejection of Jesus, the Christians in turn received that special status ().

The crest, in some cases called a crown, of a bird, is a group of feathers that some species of birds have on top of the head.
The feathers of these crests can move up and down or be permanently up, depending of the species.
For example, the crests of cockatoos and the hoopoe could be up or down but the feathers in the crest of the grey crowned crane are always up.
Crests on birds are generally used for display purposes.
Birds with crests often use them to communicate with others and as a part of their courtship.
They also tend to display their crests when they are frightened or ready to fight because the birds may appear larger than they really are.
Cockatoos and their smaller cousins, cockatiels, are part of the Cacatuidae family of parrots found in Australia, the Bismarck Archipelago and the Philippines, and are probably the most recognizable birds to feature crests.
Cockatoos and cockatiels possess crests which may be raised or lowered at will.
Their crests are used to communicate with fellow members of their species, or as a form of defense to frighten away other species that approach too closely, making the bird appear larger when the crest is suddenly and unexpectedly raised.

Theory of the Earth was a publication by James Hutton which laid the foundations for geology.
In it he showed that the Earth is the product of natural forces.
This idea, uniformitarianism, was a major step in the History of the geologic time scale.
It was used by Charles Lyell in his work, and Lyell's textbook was an important influence on Charles Darwin.
Hutton recognized that rocks record the evidence of the past action of processes which still operate today.
He also anticipated natural selection, as follows:
"Those which depart most from the best adapted constitution, will be the most liable to perish, while, on the other hand, those organised bodies, which most approach to the best constitution for the present circumstances, will be best adapted to continue, in preserving themselves and multiplying the individuals of their race".
John Playfair in 1802 restated of Huttton's geological ideas in clearer English.
However, he left out Hutton's thoughts on evolution.

The accusative case is the grammatical case which marks the direct object of a transitive verb.
This is best explained with examples:
In the sentence "He sees the woman", "he" is the subject of the sentence.
In the sentence "The woman sees him", "him" is the object.
So, in English we use different forms of the pronoun: he/him. "
Him" would be the accusative case.
If we use a noun, there is no difference in English.
We use the same word "man": The man sees the woman and The woman sees the man.
For example, in Latin. "
The man sees the woman" = "Vir feminam videt", while "The woman sees the man" = "Femina virum videt".
For "man", Latin uses "vir" for the subject, and "virum" for the object.
Also, in the same sentences, we have "femina" for a subject and "feminam" for object.
The form used for the direct object ("him", "virum", "feminam") is known as the "accusative case", while the form used for the subject ("he", "vir", "femina") is known as the nominative case.
In some languages, like German, the accusative case is applied to the definite article and not to the noun.
In German, "the car" as the subject of a sentence may be "der Wagen".
This is the form in the nominative case.
When "the car" is used as the object in a sentence, it becomes "den Wagen", the accusative.
