By special request...

As yesterday's post was inspired by a suggestion from Delcatto, I feel obliged to honour a request so ladies and gentlemen, please take a look at this thing of natural and rare beauty:



Isn't it beautiful? That, dear readers, is a young planetary nebula known to it's friends by the rather catchy name of MyCn18.

Oh, and it can be found about 8000 light years from my house...

It looks more like something from LOTR.

I'm impressed at the lengths you will go to satisfy your readers?

Now, that Dewey Decimal thing is what I'm really interested in. I may well use it in my next venture.

It doesn't stop the washing machine from digesting the occasional sock but at least it makes the missing ones easier to identify!

Hmmm... Socks Reunited, there's an idea...
