My friend Adam Block is an astronomer and astrophotographer at the University of Arizona Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter northeast of Tucson. The skies there are dark,and he commands the Schulman 0.81-meter telescope to probe the skies so he can capture it in monumentally gorgeous images.
I'm always jubilant (extremely joyful) when I win an email from him because it means a new image to gawk at. When he sent me one with the link to IC 5070, though, and I was momentarily taken aback. What thing was that?
