FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Alexander McQueen, fashion designer

The Dance of the Twisted Bull is the nineteenth collection by British designer
Alexander McQueen (pictured), made for the Spring/Summer 2002 season of his
fashion house. It was inspired by Spanish culture and art, especially flamenco
and bullfighting. Its sharp tailoring emphasises femininity and sexuality. It is
McQueen's first collection after leaving Givenchy and the sale of his company to
the Gucci Group in 2001. The runway show was staged during Paris Fashion Week in
2001 at the headquarters of Stade Français. It was simple compared to previous
shows, and the designs were commercial and intended to drive sales for his first
season under Gucci. The collection's sales were reportedly strong. Twisted Bull
was received mostly positively, especially by British journalists; American
writers were less impressed, particularly with the dressmaking. Dresses from the
collection appeared in retrospective exhibitions: in the 2011 and 2015 stagings
of Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, and in 2022. (Full article...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

The atmosphere of Mars is a layer of gases surrounding Mars, which is composed
primarily of carbon dioxide (95%), along with molecular nitrogen (2.8%), and
argon (2%) and trace levels of other compounds. The Martian atmosphere is much
thinner than Earth's, its average surface pressure of 610 pascals (0.088 psi)
being less than 1% of the Earth's value. This prohibits the existence of liquid
water on the surface of Mars, but many studies suggest that the Martian
atmosphere was much thicker in the past. The effective temperature at the
surface is around 210 K (−63 °C; −82 °F), and it has a large daily temperature
range due to the low thermal inertia; in some regions it can vary from −75 °C
(−103 °F) to near 0 °C (32 °F). Dust devils and dust storms are prevalent on
Mars, which are sometimes observable by telescopes from Earth, and can threaten
the operation of Mars rovers. Planet-encircling dust storms occur on average
every 5.5 Earth years (3 Martian years), but the mechanism responsible for these
storms is not well understood. This small dust devil was captured by NASA's
Curiosity rover in 2020.
