It's referring to the velocity dispersion of the cloud. If you imagine the cloud is rotating about a central axis, the parts of the cloud spinning toward us will have a higher relative velocity than those spinning away. The spread of these velocities is the velocity dispersion. A broad velocity width then indicates that parts of the cloud are moving rapidly compared to others, as one might observe if the cloud was being accreted by a black hole - the material closest the black hole would be travelling much faster than that at the edge of the cloud.

Why are all the traces in the thumbnail overlapping? That's not how circuit boards work.

No pressure, scientists, but if you could perfect this technique before I go totally blind, that'd be great. Not even looking for vision restoration (though that'd be great), just a halt ot the degradation ...

Any context on the why of those blocks? I've heard some of the news of the situation in Turkey lately, but the article does not talks about why would they block those services now...

First Mercedes decided they'll be the leader in EVs, then Boeing decides they'll be first to Mars. How will Elon Musk's companies cope with so much imaginary competition? On that note, I've decided I'm going to be a billionaire. I don't know why more people don't choose that.

Content marketing has changed, and it is all about the story. You must rethink the way you craft your content. Establish and illustrate your company’s values and worldview while delivering value to your readers.

So what you're saying the game is not a lot more about the marketing side of the equation than it is about pure content. It's one thing to spin out "10 things to do X" or "You won't believe what happened when ...", and a whole other problem to understand how a company's brand and vision fits into the long-term desires of their audience.
