Happy Easter...

Post by merle »

Happy Easter everyone. I'm finding out there's an astronomical link to almost everything:

Of course there's the constellation Lepus, the rabbit. Located at the foot of Orion and being constantly pursued by Sirius, the dog star.

Found a couple images of appropriate nebula, the Rotten Egg and the Swan Nebula, which looks more like a Peep.

I knew there was the "rabbit on the moon", I didn't realize they were multiplying.

Goes to show; the moon is just a giant Rorschach test :)
