"More formally, they named it Himiko, after a legendary ancient Japanese queen."
There could be more than one meaning here, NTTAWWT.

Horace stole my answer! No fair. My second thought was a little windex on the telescope lens might erase this blob. Congrat's Siouxie for sharing this post with Ridley Pearson. How cool is that? And Doug too.

Is this a bigger mass of noxious gasses than what is broadcast on MSNBC?

"Often a puzzle leads to a breakthrough. My nose tells me that this object is rather special."
My nose usually informs me about gas, too. It rarely tells me it's "special", though.

"It was gaseous, big, and emitted a certain type of radiation."
Sorry, sauerkraut does that to me.

They named a gassy blob after Himiko, a legendary ancient Japanese queen? They're going to get a visit from an irate Japanese ambassador

And then there is this related item: Why Our Galaxy Tastes Like Raspberries and Smells Like Rum. It might be the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, too.
