Astronomy Fun Fact!
You probably already have visited the Asterism link activated by clicking on The Big Dipper above...BUT
If you scroll down the list of asterisms you arrive at the
Coal Sack...Which is described as a dark spot on the Milky Way in the Constellation Crux. African Bushmen independently coined the area as the "old BAG"...Which BEGs the question...what do they think of the Female Senator from New York?

ROTFLALALAL!

I checked out the Milky Way link and was just mesmerized by the photo there. Comet Hyakutake on one side and The Large Magellanic Cloud on the other! What a fabulous picture!

Perfect thread tonight, Sleaveless!
