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


Officer Painius
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"!

Commander Double-A
Plus, since that galaxy is 30 million lightyears away, they wouldn't
yet be able to obverve anything human on the Earth.

Careful Commander there could be space peeper monkeys I mean
alien coffeeboys on some distant planet just trying to listen in on our
profound communications too.

Commander Double-A

The "Sombrero Galaxy" sounds like the likeliest place to find them.

You have a good point there Commander, let's ask Darla next
time she posts if she is aware of the Galaxy of Sombreroians.

carry on,
