Astronomers have used ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer to conduct the first high resolution survey that combines spectroscopy and interferometry on intermediate-mass infant stars. They obtained a very precise view of the processes acting in the discs that feed stars as they form. These mechanisms include material infalling onto the star as well as gas being ejected, probably as a wind from the disc.
Ballooning costs, feature creep, vendor lock-in and just plain bad technology have contributed to some of IT's most spectacular project failures. Here's what we can learn from past mistakes.
