Cheers, all.  Hope you’ve had a good week since I last puzzled you.  I’ll try to do it again.  I know; I have an evil streak.<\/p>

Today’s object (yes, you’ll be looking for an object) is so familiar to everyone, you can guess it even if you haven’t been a blog reader and this is your first riddle attempt.  That’s the trip-up for the people who are used to the riddles; so don’t over-look the obvious.  Ready?  Okay…<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>

NASA\/ESA Hubble image of IRAS 05437+2502... No, it's not the answer, it's a clue.<\/p><\/div>

This object is thought of as one thing… and it is one thing… mostly.<\/p>

It used to be much smaller than it is now.<\/p>

It’s not finished.
\"\"<\/a>
There are two little surprises at the center of this wonder.<\/p>

One of the surprises is responsible.<\/p>

This absolutely horrified our ancestors…<\/p>

… and then it was forgotten.<\/p>

When it was rediscovered, it was something different.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/p>

Now it carries the designation of “number one”.<\/p>

It makes an appearance in modern literature and games.<\/p>

This used to be visible to the unaided eye, but no longer.<\/p>

In the northern hemisphere, you must search the winter sky to find this.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/p>

That should do it.  I’ve given you a lot of clues today, but watch out.  Sometimes a lot of information isn’t quite as helpful as it looks.  Still, this is a fun little brain-buster, and should only be up a few minutes, so get your guess in!<\/p>
