I'm here, as usual. Well, you know me - I'm here several times a day.

I just read Sunrei's Above Alt Else, part 11, and it's just brilliant! But I'm too tired to respond right now. I'm lazily browsing and surfing the net, looking for glorious galaxy pictures. I just found one that I have to show you. The picture is far too big for me to post here, so I'll post a link. If you click on the link, the picture is going to take some time loading, and the galaxy is not in the middle of the picture but at the lower right of it (so you have to scroll down and to the right). But it looks splendid, doesn't it? It looks just like one of those huge tornadoes that come in from the Atlantic Ocean to wreak havoc wherever they land. Or it looks like the vortex that forms when water is going down the drain. Remember that there is certainly a huge black hole in the dead center of this galaxy, pulling the entire galaxy around itself, and slowly, slowly swallowing it.

Messier 100, a glorious spiral galaxy

Now I'm off to bed!!!
