|Exhibitions: Textile artists across the district will be showcased at Temporary Contemporary at Queensgate Market and the welcome return of Wendy Meadley's
Hypervelocity flag Installation, originally made with the community for Le Grand Depart in 2014.

Meanwhile, the Navy has been pursuing
hypervelocity projectiles that could be launched from electromagnetic railguns or powder guns.
A report from ABC News stated that Washington's priority remains to be the development of a
hypervelocity projectilethat would enable missiles to fire at hypersonic speeds.
In 2005 Warren Brown (Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory) found the first "
hypervelocity" star--that is, the first gravitationally unbound star ever seen: a luminous blue star that the big black hole at the galaxy's center had shot into the halo (S&T: May 2005, p.
The fastest class of these stars are called
hypervelocity stars, which are thought to start their life near the Galactic centre, later to be flung towards the edge of the Milky Way via interactions with the black hole at its centre.
So it was but natural that following the dream she read all she could find about impact craters, which are formed by the
hypervelocity impact of a meteorite or other celestial object crashing onto a planet's (or moon's) surface.
Nuclear-capable tactical ballistic missiles and
hypervelocity Zircon missiles are expected to be tested.
During its six years of surveying the sky, LAMOST has also discovered five extremely rare
hypervelocity stars that are so fast not even the gravitational pull of the galaxy can stop them from escaping.
The spacecraft conceived by US scientists to possibly deflect Bennu -- dubbed HAMMER, short for
Hypervelocity Asteroid Mitigation Mission for Emergency Response vehicle -- is 9 metres tall, weighs 8.8 tonnes and features a modular design that would enable it to serve as either a 'kinetic impactor' -- essentially a battering ram -- or as a transport vehicle for a nuclear device.
