The Virgo with whom I My flat mate has developed an interest in astronomical phenomena, he is a Virgo and so I can quiz him when I need to remember something about numbers and say how many degrees the moon moves in an hour--stuff like that, he can add it up in his head. He's collected quite a library of supernovae and so forth, galaxies. Absolutely brilliant for the right side of the brain as far as I'm concerned but pretty taxing for the left to get around.
SO here be a collection. . . . Pity it's cloudy this morning A mere apparition of things.

here is a link to a blog that deals in all this stuff.

appear.
