    Ooh welcome back to this side of the pond hanny :))

    And lovely to see such an old friend in exquisite detail.

    Hope to catch up with you in the future.

    Hiya Bunny! ;) Thanks for the comment and the welcome back. You going to Astrofest? I might be… And I think the name is a bit too long so now it’s Burton-Bra. Sorry :D

    My humble theory is that this green blob is a signal from an alien civilization. Highly advanced, showing us where to go… and you found it, Hanny ! :-)

    Wonderful Hanny! That’s the image I’ve been waiting nearly two years to see. If the conference had been held in San Francisco I would have come down to actually meet you in person. Sounds like you had a gas (get it? because you see the voorwerp is made of… ah, well… you get it.) Have a safe trip home.
