Painius I have a gut feeling. life is looking at a photo of the Milky
Way from Sombraro as I'm typing this and saying "What a beautiful
galaxy" They might even call our galaxy "Sombrero' Why
not bert PS thanks for posting those pictures I have the top one in
my scrape book

Your welcome, Bert. Observers in M104, the
Sombrero galaxy, probably wouldn't refer to
our galaxy using their word for "Sombrero".

Why?...

Because the galaxy charts i have indicate that
those people are positioned to see us moreso
like this...

http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/milkyway.html

The image at the bottom of that page shows
even better possibilities of the Sombreroeans
perspective. They do not see the Milky Way
"edge on" the way we see their galaxy.

In thinking further about it, the Sombreroeans
might not be able to see us at all, because our
Milky Way galaxy is probably obscured by their
very own "Milky Way"!

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

Are you sleeping?
Stars are waiting,
Shining high they wait for you.

Are you looking?
Stars are soaring,
Flashing, twinkling just for you.
