| OK, I think I have a real stumper for you today, but one that is guessable. Let's see how you do.
Here's a photo of a curious cloud of dust out in the universe called the Horse Head Nebula.
And this is a photo of another nebula.
Can you guess the name of the second nebula? Try squinting.

| I been squinting so much I think I've got some new wrinkles in my face :(. Cyn's answers might have given me an idea of what it might be :). This image if I'm right is often seen airborne on her mighty steed, especially at a certain time of the year. Annette |

| Hmmmm.....tracing outside on the left, I would say the C_ _ _ _ _ _ _ M _ _ _ nebula. Nancy. |

| Now I am totally confused. I saw a right-facing profile. Maybe being slightly feverish would help...teehee. Where is everyone else...I need more clues! |

| OK, I can't stand it!!! I suspect that everyone else is out there, doing what I wanted to do today, garden clean-up. I did go out, and plant my el cheapo clematis buys: a 6" Dr. Rupple ($2), which is my Fav clematis, and 2 2" pots, 1 Mr. President, and 1 nameless ($1 each). Then I was out of breath and came in!!! lol. I would say the nebula is the "Crescent Moon", or "The Man in the Moon". There. I've said it!!! Nancy. |

| Hmmmmm, I can see where you see 'The Man in the Moon' Nancy, I was thinking the same until I saw what could be a wart half way up the nose. Thinking TM might still be in a Halloween mode my guess is a witch. I just come in from cleaning up all the leaves of the Hostas and other things, piled it all into the compost bins. If it's decent will get out and do some more tomorrow. Annette |

I can see that profile. It has a rather man in the crestent moon look to it.
A witch is as good as any other. So my answer is: Witch Libby |

Twin A and I have squinted all we can squint...
She says devil... I say witch. Ya'll are so productive... I did get some laundry and sewing done today, but that's about it. |

| I don't know! It looks a lot like a rearing horse. Or if you look at the dense area about halfway down, it looks like a lobster facing downwards |

| Well, my friends, here's what I see, no doubt helped along by the fact that I knew the name before I looked. 
The nebula is in the constellation Orion and is called the Witch Head Nebula. Annette, you were right about me sticking to a theme. Saturday's question was about witches and so was today's.  for Annette, Libby, and BBH. Good job! The way I set it up, I didn't really think I would stump you all, but I got all but three, cackle, cackle.
Thanks for playing trivia. ThinMan |
