Hi,

I recently came across this post on the discovery of a new planetary nebula - Northern Stingray Nebula, by Jerry Lodriguss


I found it remarkable that the total exposure time was 61,362 hours - about 7 years!

Not to forget the date is April 1st. We have to wait a day or two for confirmation.
But on a serious note, this is really amazing.

Adarsh Ananth.

Well, we are just 30 minutes in over here, so I was not in the mode
yet, although I have been plotting against my students for a while.

I still remember your last year's post of a naked-eye supernova - which turned out to be Saturn.

Yes, that's why I said it's revenge. For the last 4 years, I've been
doing the honours. Past cases have included:

Naked-Eye Supernova
Higgs Boson discovery (before it actually happened)
Dr. Vishnu Reddy discovers a comet (with Vishnu Reddy being party to the joke)
Antares has gone supernova.

Regards
Akarsh
