Everyday things that remind you of astronomical objects

Hi all

It seems everyday I see common items that remind me of astronomical objects.

Here is one - foam resembling the storms on Jupiter.

Do you see any in your day?

Nice one Matt - that certainly looks the part!
Here's one I posted about a while ago - the Sydney Airport runway layout and the Southern Cross

The girl at the coffee shop where I get my morning cappucino used to put a flower pattern on top. Then I showed her a picture of a spiral galaxy so now she put's that on my cap.

I should get a photo but she might think I'm a bit weird taking pictures of my coffee.

Yep,

Every time I stir my instant coffee in the morning, I get a nice spiral galaxy forming, sometimes it takes me 2-3 minutes to put the milk in as I wistfully daydream while staring at it....

Cheers

Chris
