  I came across this and thought it interesting. It's imaginatively called called Hoag's Object after Mr Hoag who first identified it.

Don’t let Brian see it! He’ll claim it’s inhabited by Brummies, each worth £5,000,000!
Seriously, what a strange formation. Makes one realise how weird and wonderful space is

And planet Earth is floating around in  space....for millions of years....and we are attached to this planet by gravity...and not  flung off to eternity....in the black nothing...and we live on it as if everything mattered while we are nothing but a spot in the Universe....It is all a big joke by the one that knows all....and we think we know it all but we do not. gmx
