That is a dust ring that is surrounded by the star Fomalhaut in the constellation of Pisces Austrinus. It was discovered recently and there might be planets taht exist in that area or planet formation.

You accuse someone of being burned and then become frustrated when he responds with reasoning? Nice job.

*whacks you all with Cluex4*
whatever the scientifically politically correct classification is, it looks like the Eye of Sauron. THE END.

DearPluto,
No matter what everyone else says about you, you will always be my favorite tiny planet. And my favorite cartoon dog, even though Brian on Family Guy is funnier, you were my first.

Love,

I do recall saying I was just being a raving bitch. Maybe you should engineer yourself a sense of humor as well.

And you don’t think spending vast acres of space ranting about it makes you look equally stupid?

Maybe the owner of your company should have invented you a sense of humor or the ability to pick up on a Simpson’s reference when quoted verbatim.

The most ironic thing about all of this is that I am, in fact, and engineer. Lighten up.

Try to understand. There are 2 kinds of college students: jocks and nerds. As a jock, it is my duty to give nerds a hard time.

The only “burn” is the same one others mentioned: You can’t even *see* the planet in the image, so the caption is a fail. It’s not as though I’m the only one who made this comparison; in fact, someone on Ars Technica gave me the idea, and I told him I’d make a look-alike out of it. Afterwards, I found out that I was about the thousandth person to make a comparative image of the two. If someone with a properly captioned picture would have made it, I would have been happy, not burned. It’s not as though I think I’m the center of astronomical parodies everywhere.

But if you want to think a dust disc is a planet, enjoy yourself. I’ll be sure to submit a picture of a crowd that’s so far away as to make its individuals indistinguishable, but since I knew Britney Spears was somewhere in the crowd, I’ll label it as Britney. Then you can give it your vote of approval, too.

My company’s owner, the Epic Nerd, Bill…yeah, he invented, created and made money off you for almost everything you’re using to type on to make fun of nerds, let alone look at this nerd-made website. Oh…wait, I’m sorry, how much do you make per year comparison to nerds? Probably not much.

By: Hell Hath No Fury

The problem is that if it’s rotated, it gets those black cut-off lines, just like this front-page image has. And “it no longer looks like the eye at all?” If your spatial abilities suck so badly that you can’t mentally rotate a two-dimensional object forty-five degrees, that’s your problem.

By: basgil

basgil — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:18:09 +0000

Ummmm….. no sorry. The one above is much better if only for the fact that it’s rotated so it mimics the shape, yours is at a weird angle so it no longer looks like the eye at all.
