Oh, of course! Right you are, so sorry. I think trying to respond all day to longshadow, first in humorous way and then finally giving in to him by offering up a more lucid conversational discussion of the subject at hand must have exhausted my cleverness reserve. Thank you for snapping me out of my momentary stupor ;-)

...and I suggest that we name it
"The Car Key Nebula"

Wow. I wouldn't want to be standing in the way when one of those arms came whipping by. I bet the ends are moving along pretty quick.

I thought something very similar,
Where was the perspective and how derived!

Thank you. Have you ever seen any Ibex in your travels around NM? I read somewhere the state is overrun with them...just curious.

Just in the south. Around White Sands. A herd was released many years ago.

Very interesting. Thanks doc. Still curious... If I may ask another question; might one assume by your screen name that you are a mathematician or physicists?

Of late, mathematics. (Other things in the past.)

Very cool Doc. I have a brainiac friend in WA that is a PhD of Mathematics along with several others including Physics and Electrical Engineering. He's semiretired now, (only 50) just "plays" in his lab and is actually dabbling in my field now. Math is one of the main disciplines (along with Physics, English, History, etc...)that held me back in my pursuit of a career in Astronomy. I admire mathematics as the "purest" science.
