Alley-Kat-Abra

Alley-Kat-Abra (real name Felina Furr) is a fictional anthropomorphic cat in the DC Comics universe's Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew!. Alley-Kat-Abra is a superheroine who lived on the otherdimensional world of Earth-C (now Earth-26), an alternate Earth populated by sentient animals. Her first appearance was in a special insert in The New Teen Titans #16 (February 1982).

Fictional character biography

Felina Furr was a martial arts instructor in the city of Mew Orleans (Earth-C's version of New Orleans, Louisiana). While engaging in a meditation session, a meteor launched by Starro the Conqueror crashed into a pot with a stirring stick in it, imbuing Felina with magical powers and transforming the stick into a magic wand (which Felina called "Magic Wanda"). Teaming up with other super-powered animals affected by the meteor, Alley-Kat-Abra and the others (with the aid of Superman) defeated Starro, and decided to form the superhero team called the Zoo Crew.

Felina tended to be friendly, though sometimes engaged in spats with the other female team member of the Zoo Crew, Yankee Poodle. She also has some romantic feelings toward Captain Carrot, and some quiet jealousy when she and the Captain work with Wonder Wabbit of Earth-C-Minus.

KAT's most famous album is Oddech wymarłych światów (The Breath of Extinct Worlds), considered an opus of Polish heavy metal.

The band is best known for tracks "Czas zemsty" (Time of revenge), "Łza dla cieniów minionych" (A tear for the shadows gone), "Wyrocznia" (Oracle) and "Noce Szatana " (The nights of Satan).

KAT was founded in 1979 by guitarist Piotr Luczyk and drummer Ireneusz Loth. Shortly after they were joined by bassist Tomasz Jaguś and another guitarist, Ryszard Pisarski. They played instrumental music influenced by hard rock bands, mainly Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath. In 1981, during the first edition of the Silesian Rock festival, the band found a singer, Roman Kostrzewski The line-up was filled out by guitarist Wojciech Mrowiec and in 1984 KAT released the debut single "Noce szatana / Ostatni tabor" (Polish for The Nights of Satan / The Last Train).

KAT-7

KAT-7 is a radio telescope constructed in the Northern Cape of South Africa. Part of the Karoo Array Telescope project, it is the precursor engineering test bed to the larger MeerKAT telescope, but it has become a science instrument in its own right. The construction was completed in 2011 and commissioned in 2012. It also served as a technology demonstrator for South Africa's bid to host the Square Kilometre Array. KAT-7 is the first Radio telescope to be built with a composite reflector and uses a stirling pump for 75 K cryogenic cooling. The telescope was built to test various system for the MeerKAT array, from the ROACH correlators designed and manufactured in Cape Town, now used by various telescopes internationally, to composite construction techniques. With the short baselines the telescope is suited to observing diffuse sources, but will begin VLBI observation in 2013.

Technical Specifications

KAT-7 consist of 7 dishes of 12 metres in diameter each a Prime Focus Reflecting telescope.
