As its daddy is the silver dollar Galaxy,
maybe you should call this the 1cent Galaxy

[ZeroID]

Nah, Sidonio Galaxy has a nice ring to it.

[xelasnave]

I absolutely agree.
It shall be known as....
NGC 253-dw2.the Sidonio Gallaxy

And if this can not be so I have no idea as why.

Great stuff Mike
Your biography is sure to run three volumes
And really your story would make a great movie.... Seriously
Its great to see these things unfold.
I could see a speaking tour for example
Your achievement was momentous

[ChrisM]

Well done Mike - on both counts (discovery & articles) - and a nice bit of icing on the cake.

Cheers, Chris

Ha ha chees guys it's proved a rather popular smudge, so ...Anthony has his black spot and I have a smudge :lol:

While I've had a couple'a images published, this is only my second article in US S&T...the first one was waaay back in 1987 (http://www.pbase.com/strongmanmike2002/image/132457555/original)

That's a good article as well Mike. Ektachrome 400, those were the days.

The advert for Compuserve brings back memories, I used to use them for bulletin board access with my superfast 1200 baud modem around that year.

I also doubt that Murrumbateman is a dark site now.

Cheers
