Disc

Disc or disk (computing and American English) may refer to:

Data storage

  • Disk storage, a general category of data storage mechanisms
  • Disc (band)

    Disc is an experimental group formed by Miguel Depedro (Kid606), Jason Doerck (J Lesser), M. C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel (Matmos). The group was most active between 1997 and 1999.

    To produce their sound, digital media (DATs, CDs) were etched and painted, or used in broken players to produce new sounds. In Gaijincd4, a "bonus" nonfunctional CD was included to suggest a multimedia disc. The double LP Transfer consisted entirely of locked grooves.

  • Disc (galaxy)

    A disc is a component of disc galaxies, such as spiral galaxies, or lenticular galaxies.

    The galactic disc is the plane in which the spirals, bars and discs of disc galaxies exist. Galactic discs tend to have more gas and dust and younger stars than galactic bulges or galactic haloes.

    The galactic disc is mainly composed of gas, dust and stars. The gas and dust component of the galactic disc is called the gaseous disc. The star component of the galactic disc is called the stellar disc.

    Inconsistent orbital velocities of stars

    It has been noted that the orbital velocity of stars in the disc of most disc galaxies is inconsistent with the amount of luminous matter calculated for the galaxy. A possible explanation for this problem is the non-luminous dark matter.

    Beautiful Unfortunate

    by: Dusk

    February 1998
    Today's emptiness, tomorrow's dream.
    An addiction, like never seen.
    All is still beneath an orange moon.
    Everything remains, but without you.
