Bonjour!  Are we all ready to play riddle today?  I have a nice, easy, relaxing one for you.  It’s been a long week for me, so I’m ready to relax and play a little.<\/p>

Today’s riddle subject is in the real world.  It is an object.  That’s it for the preliminaries, now for the clues:<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>

A beauty in black and white, found on PhotoBucket<\/p><\/div>

We mostly think of this in the singular, although it is made of many parts.<\/p>

Although today’s subject is a modern discovery, something else like it has been known for centuries.<\/p>

While we think of this as a “thing”, it is really more of a system, or aggregate, of many things together.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>

A collection of cuties<\/p><\/div>

Probably hundreds of millions of years ago, this thing was at least one companion to a giant.<\/p>

This thing’s “parent” has a distinction of its own.<\/p>

There is good reason to believe that although this thing is considered a modern discovery, it may have been seen long ago.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>

Ah, my favorite color; shiny<\/p><\/div>

Not all parts of this thing are visible at all times.<\/p>

Although we know of other, like systems, today’s riddle answer is unique.
Today’s answer may be fairly close to you, but it’s difficult to see… like a mirage.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a>

Nation Portrait Gallery, London - You know this man<\/p><\/div>

Okay, there you are.  Get ready, get set, get it solved!  You know where to find me…<\/p>
