Happy Saturday to all.  It’s been a while since I went over the “Riddle Rules”, so I’ll run through them real quick:<\/p>

The riddle posts every Saturday at noon CDT; the subject is always identified (i.e., it’s a thing, it’s an event, it’s SciFi, etc); the subject of the riddle will be something with which you are familiar; the first person who solves the riddle is the winner; the winner gets to pick a subject for Monday’s post; the subject must be about astronomy, and must be researchable; the winner will get on the list to have first crack at the bonus riddle (the bonus riddle has a real<\/em> prize); Tom has final say on any issues or controversies.<\/p>

You ready?  Excellent!  Today you will be looking for a thing in the real world:<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>
You are looking for a beautiful mystery.<\/p>

This thing was discovered in the 18th century…<\/p>

…but its home was known to the ancient Egyptians.<\/p>

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

Its structure is not visible to the unaided eye.<\/p>

While we think of this as one<\/em> thing, it may have a little surprise waiting for us.<\/p>

This is one of the most complex representatives of its kind ever seen.<\/p>

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

It is believed to be very young; perhaps only 1,000 years old.<\/p>

You will see this beauty if you look around the North Ecliptic Pole.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>
Got it?  Okay, I’ll be in the comment section waiting patiently for someone to talk to me.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>

Here's where you WISH it was spiders.<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
