• A Dutch cruiser can move across the high seas at 80 mph.  Here's what we know:
• It's called the Vanquish VQ 55
• It's 55 feet long 
• Created by Vanquish Yachts
• Total horsepower is 3,000 from 5 Mercury Verado 600 V12 outboard motors
• Top speed is 80 mph
• Potential of NYC to London in 43 hours over 3,465 miles of ocean
• Pricing starts at $3.7 million
• Stepped design of the hull reduces friction and adds lift, which contributes to the vessel's incredible speed
• Seats up to 18 with 4, body gripping bucket seats in the helm
• In the stern, a large dining area with wraparound sofas
• Sleeping quarters below.

• The James Webb Space Telescope has captured unprecedented images inside the heart of the Milky Way.  The world's most technologically advanced space telescope is chasing new scientific discoveries that could help define the origins of the universe.  Here are some key facts:
• There are more than 500,000 stars captured in the top image
• The bright areas of the picture contain surprising emissions from ionized hydrogen
• The telescope used infrared light to take never-seen-before images that NASA just released
• NASA has focused Webb on the Sagittarius C region of the Milky Way, which is a very active area of star formation
• These megastars have a core that functions like a nuclear reactor and produce heavy elements
• Bottomline:  the Milky Way images are spectacular and the innovative discoveries from them may be even more so, including new findings on the origin of the universe, how stars are born and possible uses of their dynamic energy and heavy element production.
