I am guessing that there must be some significance to that picture, but I don't have a clue what.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Okay, well I guess that explains the picture, but it still does not explain why Ed posted it out of the blue without explanation.

Wait, that's no planet!

Sorry. I'll see myself out.

DrStraw, A NASA spacecraft has recently flown past the dwarf planet of Pluto (which starts with a P) and taken pictures. It was in most mainstream media news outlets, but perhaps they are not to be trusted? ;-)

Ah, so that's it! But that photo was not of Pluto so it totally confused me. I don't pay much attention to all that NASA stuff. They have crafts flying all over so it is kind routine. I don't read the MSM anyway and have been way to busy this last two weeks to spend much time reading the real media.

If you look carefully, you'll see it's a composite of the Death Star and Pluto.

The OP, EdLee, made a brilliant move. This was followed by some questionable replies, but the game goes on.

Cheers,
