#ALMA has been in scientific operations for almost 15 years.

As of the beginning of February 2026, ALMA had observed 3933 independent coordinates.

Here is a collection of ALMAs observations of circumstellar #disks with substructures in dust continuum emission, available in the literature.

Each panel is 400 au in size, and the disks are scaled based on the #Gaia DR3 parallax, ranging from largest to smallest continuum disk from top to bottom.

Amiga disks on PC: Copy program G-Copy 0.8

G-Copy by Arne Urbaniak is a Windows program that uses Keir Fraser's Greaseweazle, D. Tonn's ADF-Drive or Rob Smith’s DrawBridge (Arduino) to create backup copies to and from HD, USB, SD cards and, of course, floppy disks.

The latest version, 0.8, includes bug fixes and improvements: G-Copy now supports copying from DF0 to DF1 and HD/USB/SD or DF1 to DF0 and HD/USB/SD at the same time.
