Well, Henri, these are not expensive, y'know:

Lots of torque, it only turns twice a day. You need another gearbox
to make it turn once a day.

Don't they have these in Oz?

Ok, it was a bull giraffe. I can't tell males from females just

Cool, I didn't know WCHs were 100 to 1000 light years in diameter.

Yeah, big, aren't they, considering the grey blobs are
supposed to be star clusters in the foreground. Definitely god-sized.
I still reckon it's a cow or bull giraffe walking in front of the lens, though.

Nah, Androcles isn't much bigger than Jupiter.
