I was doing some reading about this and found that the Cat's paw nebula has also been photographed by radiotelescopes! Here's a full sky shot with the Very Large Array in the foreground. The little box shows the area covered by today's APOD.

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Caroluna, by far your best one yet, with multiple levels of complexity. I really enjoyed this. Very very good!
